WIBU to buy 7 of the same jumper

I picked a jumper up in town on Friday and wore it to work today and I am OBSESSED with it.

It's so soft and cosy and warm but not bulky. It's plain enough to go with anything but has a small amount of shoulder and sleeve detailing in exactly my style. It's the perfect length, it's slimming.

It's perfect for work and would also look dressy with some skinny jeans and heeled boots for an evening out.

WIBU to buy 3 more in one colour (so 4 all together) and two in a different colour or have I completely lost my mind??

I have basically found the perfect jumper and I never want to wear anything else.

Let’s see it then.

SavageBeauty73 · 16/09/2019 18:20

I would. I used to have the same cardigan in 4 colours and if i find jeans I like I buy 2 pairs.

What's the jumper?

BeanBag7 · 16/09/2019 18:21

I wouldnt buy 4 in the same colour but I would probably buy 2 in each colour

KronksSpinachPuffs · 16/09/2019 18:22

I would if i were you - can you post a link? Very intrigued!

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 16/09/2019 18:22

Not unreasonable at all! I do this all the time, makes life so much easier having a ‘uniform’

PotteringAlong · 16/09/2019 18:22

I think 7 might be a bit excessive... Grin

HuntIdeas · 16/09/2019 18:23

Keen to see a link...

Lemonysherbet · 16/09/2019 18:23

I would definitely buy it! I'm a fussy shopper so I usually do this, maybe not 7 times but at least 2!

Samaranian · 16/09/2019 18:23

Okay will share the link once I've bought more in case mumsnet sells it out before I can stock up Wink

Do it, I had the perfect jumper and I wish I’d bought more. It fell apart and I spent years looking for it on eBay. Actually found it once and then forgot to up my bid and lost out. I’ve never really got over it

MariusJosipovic · 16/09/2019 18:24

My DH does this but ramped up, so like 15 of the same jumper Hmm

Have you tried washing it? My washing machine loves to snack on our favourite jumpers.

LolaSmiles · 16/09/2019 18:24

7 night be excessive, but 2 in a colour you wear a lot and a couple of others is reasonable.

I do that with cream/white jumpers because of the risk of pit marks over time.

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 16/09/2019 18:25

Not unreasonable at all.

I once owned the perfect jumper (from Joules, of all places) and I frequently regret not buying several in each colour. I've worn holes in the only one I have because I wear it so often.

StudentHelp · 16/09/2019 18:25

Maybe not 7, but definitely get a few

Doyouthinktheysaurus · 16/09/2019 18:26

Not unreasonable at all. I've got 3 cardigans the same in different colours and about 6 joules shirts in different patterns.

And about 15 pairs of doc martens.

Need to see the jumper please💐

Lulualla · 16/09/2019 18:27

I have my favourite dress in 6 colours...

Go for It!

MountPheasant · 16/09/2019 18:27

YABVU to not share the link.

Also when I found the perfect leggings I bought ten pairs!

SmallPinkBear · 16/09/2019 18:28

If I find something I like I often buy more colours, though not sure why you need 4 of the same colour!
Please share the link, I need to see! Grin

ShinyMe · 16/09/2019 18:28

I would - I often buy something, find I love it and decide I need another, only to discover it's been discontinued or something. This year I got some M&S jeggings which I really like so I bought 5 different colours, and then two more black pairs, and I wear them most days.

BloodyhellMartha · 16/09/2019 18:28

Share the link! I need this miracle garment.

Fiveletters · 16/09/2019 18:30

I need to know more ......

mintoreo · 16/09/2019 18:30

Yes I would! I imagine you'll regret it if you dont and they disappear!

BikeRunSki · 16/09/2019 18:30

YANBU at all!

I have the same trousers in 5 colours
The same jumper in 3 colours
3 identical pairs of shoes (all black)
2 pairs of shoes the same but in different colours
3 different pairs of shoes the same but in different colours
2 pairs of boots the same but different colours
(I have size 9 feet, I get very excited when I find shoes that fit)

Samaranian · 16/09/2019 18:30

Okay so this is the jumper - appreciate it might not be to everyone's taste but I have a kind of rock-y sort of vibe so the zips and little studs practically made it for me [https://www.wallis.co.uk/en/wluk/product/petite-black-zip-detail-jumper-9062647]

Hopefully that worked.

I ordered two more in black and 2 in the burgendy Blush

I am glad I am not BU - I generally never find clothes I like so to find something I like that looks nice on me is a revelation.

I just hope it washes well Smile
