For someone who obsesses over clothes, I generally have a bit of difficulty shopping.  I have to mull over possible purchases for long periods of time, sometimes weeks.  I came across this Free People tube top/skirt on Shopbop in September, adding it to my cart dozens of times without checking out.  When I finally decided to buy it, my size was gone.  Now I can only find it in my size on another site, but it’s selling there for $12 more, plus no free shipping!  Ebay has some cheapy knock-off versions, but I’m afraid the sequins will look too tacky and fall off easily.  So, if you’re really desiring a product, are you willing to pay a mark up?  Right now I don’t want to do it, simply out of principle.  Thoughts? Edit: Found it and bought it on Zappos for only $4 above retail with free overnight shipping!  Obsessive Googling pays off, people.
