Dh and I are doing some spring cleaning, he's the opposite to me, lots of branded clothes that all look the same.
I shop (shopped) in charity shops and have a very eclectic taste.
Going through a full wardrobe and 7 (yes dear god 7) bin bags of clothes I had put away to slim down into, I was absolutely shocked at what I had deemed good enough to save and keep. I'd sorted through my clothes last year and decided to keep this stuff! So I was excited to see what amazing stuff I'd kept.
Jesus wept.
The BEST most hideous thing I found was black pvc trousers. from river island, still with the tag on, that were originally £40 I got for £6. They were utterly horrendous. As someone who wears a lot of pink and girly dresses what was I thinking?!?!?!
I also found bright orange lacy crop tops, lace dresses from primark (why did I buy them in the first place second hand let alone bag them to keep them?!) Things for age 14, that had a picture of something I liked on it.
I have schizophrenia and was going through a breakdown/psychotic break when I really got into charity shopping because I was home all day and it was cheap. But this brings it home how completely not with it I was. I feel sad I didn't realise how bad it was. I wasted hundreds of pounds on this crap over 2 years! None of it wearable!
I understand every body goes through buyers remorse and a "what was I thinking?!" Moment, so I'd really like to hear your stories of hideous things you bought that was a good idea at the time!
