Anyone else an idiot like me?

floridabride44

I've been stalking the dress I wanted to order for my rehearsal for a few weeks, hoping it would go on sale. Like an idiot. 

Today, it went out of stock.

Goodbye, rehearsal dress. I'm sad I never even got to try you on. 

Has this ever happened to you? It's a total first world problem, but also a crappy feeling. I should've just ordered it.

I'm a total impulse shopper. If/when I find something I love, I pull the trigger almost immediately. Which probably isn't any better, because I end up spending way more money.

sorry.  

But the answer would be no for me.  I don't stalk clothes though.

  I was also a rebel and wore black to my RD.  I never did understand why brides always feel the need to wear white to every pre-wedding event.   Even my shower I wore black.

@lyndausvi I feel ya, at first I hadn't planned on wearing white to every pre-wedding event. But then I figured there won't be many occasions in my life to wear all white, so I might as well go big or go home haha

ETA: sometimes I forget letters.

Nah, I don't stalk clothes. I typically try to talk myself out of them for as long as possible. Usually I'll give myself a week, and if I'm still thinking about it, I'll go back and get it.

I'm really  not picky about clothes. I wear anything and everything. 

Except wedding dresses. I told the sales lady that if it has sparkles or was strapless she could go ahead and put it back. Don't even show it to me.

I said "no bling, no lace, no train, no puffy skirt. I want strapless and prefer a corset back".

2 different stores brought me everything I said I didn't want.    One bitch brought me a dress that had a lot of bling, laces, etc with a huge train and it was all puffy.    It would have been nice for a church wedding I guess, but I was getting married on a beach.    They fucking just would not listen.  They were all "just try it on, you never know until you try it on".  Yo bitch, I'm getting married on a fucking beach I don't want a dress that is 100lbs dragging on the sand.    Geez. I was so pissed. 

Then I walk into the 3rd place and from the door I saw the one.  Strapless, corset, little train which I could put a bustle.   That was it.  A little over budget, but it was the one.

There were these shoes I was thinking of getting, like a year ago. They were in my amazon wish list, and I finally decided I wanted them, and they were discontinued. Boo! 

I wore the same dress to my shower and my rehearsal. It was blue.

I stalk clothes and sales. Yes, things get discontinued all the time while I'm waiting for the sale, but I figure there's always another outfit and sale coming along. It does work out.

@NYCMercedes good to know! There are a few others that I'm keeping my eye on, so there's still hope haha I need to find a balance between stalking & just pulling the trigger. I just love a bargain oh so much, it's like a sport to me

I've been stalking this mustard color coat at target since October!

The damn thing would NEVER go on sale!

Finally yesterday it was $15 off so I bought it!

I wore it today but I probably should have gotten a size bigger... ah well!

This sounds like a thing that I need in my life.

I'm not sure what size you wear, but it's on eBay and even has a "Buy It Now" option. They'll ship to the States too (not sure where you are).

Working in retail for so many years, and consoling customers when they realize their coveted item is out-of-stock, has taught me to impulse buy way more than I should.

Plus most places will do price adjustments.

I'm a clothes stalker - mostly because I buy most of my clothes from NY & Company (looove that site), and the new arrivals are always more expensive and will ultimately end up on sale a few weeks later. So I put them in my cart or wishlist and wait. But I have waited too long and missed out on things plenty of times as well.

Yep I know that feeling! It took me forever to get some of my fancier modcloth dresses. They kept going out of stock within mins! But I felt very victoruos when I finally got them haha. But I put a stop to my shopping since I have more than enough clothes.
