What won't you skimp on?

[Allthingspretty]

Stylistically and value for money etc what won't you skimp on or economise on even if it means you can only buy one rather than lots of the cheaper equivalent?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Opaque tights. Would rather have one pair of M&S Autograph ones than 6 pairs of cheaper ones.

I won't buy non-leather boots or shoes (unless they are supposed to be fabric ones!) ie: I won't buy plastic masquerading as leather.

[bunnymother]

Exactly as Remus on the veto on vinyl. Nastiness.

[Mumelie]

bras
totally agree with shoes/boots
hairdressers

[AnythingNotEverything]

Bras, tights, foundation - since I moved to YSL I've never looked so well.

[Suburban]

Shoes and coats. Also I don't really like synthetic knitwear but I still get it cheaply from Sainsburys, Gap and TKMaxx.

[FayeKorgasm]

Moisturiser. I will only use elemis marine cream.

Only leather shoes bags and boots.

[chanie44]

I think it has to be leather shoes and bags. I'm happy with fabric material equivalents but the fake leather falls apart quickest. I bought a fake leather bag from tk maxx and started to come apart at the seems as soon as I got it, although I didn't keep the receipt to take it back.

[bunnymother]

Also, hairdresser and perfume.

[gaggiagirl]

Must have leather shoes boots and bags.

Must have a quality bra.

I must have bloody expensive perfume.

[MarshaBrady]

Has to be wool/ cashmere rather than acrylic.

Shoes (although need some new ones).

[SinisterSal]

i'm nearly embarrassed to ask but hw do you tell the difference between leather and pretend leather? i can't

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

I have some M&S non-leather boots and you honestly wouldn't be able to tell unless you look really close at the top cuff where it folds over. It's softer and glued rather than stitched.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Initially by the smell, I think. :) And the fake stuff has a different feel too. But tbh I check the materials and if they are plastic, I don't buy them. I failed to stick to my rule once, when dd desperately needed some new boots once. I might as well have just chucked my £40 down the toilet.

[Ememem84]

Shoes. Always lk Bennett or Russell and Bromley for work. Coats. And stuff for my face. I swear by clarins.

[madammecholet]

Hairdresser
Leather bags
Make up, but won't fork out for fifty quid moisturisers etc..
Dentist/hygienist - health in general..
Decent food - you are what u eat..

[valiumredhead]

Hairdresser and shoes.

[MarshaBrady]

Hair too.

[noisytoys]

Clothes and shoes. Not designer but I will choose next and TK Maxx over Primark and Matalan. Shoes I will wear Hush Puppies or Dr Martens. I am too poor to buy cheap clothes and shoes and keep replacing them when they wear out within weeks.

[FreshLeticia]

Footwear. Leather not vinyl.
Knitwear. Merino and/or cashmere (lasts forever so great value)
Bras.
Outdoor technical gear such as boots, fleeces and waterproofs.
Cheap:
vests, tees, socks, 'fashion' tops

"i'm nearly embarrassed to ask but hw do you tell the difference between leather and pretend leather? i can't"

You would soon know if you were wearing plastic shoes because your feet sweat more.
