Sort of lighthearted - is this a shopping addiction?

[Toomanysurely]

I appear to have a slight addiction to buying pyjamas. I think I currently have 6 pairs of winter ones, 10 pairs of shortie Summer pyjamas with another pair on order and 3 dressing gowns.

I just like them so much, there's not much nicer than having a bath or shower and putting on a lovely fresh pair.

The trouble is they are so cheap to buy that every time I go to the supermarket they have new styles.

Does that sound very excessive? I do wear them all. Is anyone else like this with something.

If this is your worst vice and you're not getting into debt doing it, crack on!

By the way, Matalan have some really nice ones at the moment!!

How much drawer space do you have? I have 2 pairs of summer, 3 winter, 1 in-between, and I can barely shut my drawer

Oh dear, they do don't they

I have a similar problem with soft jumpers. Perhaps we need to start a support group.

I have at least triple that amount and no intention of ever stopping 😂 but I now only buy if I replace that tattier ones. It’s hard though. I’m emotionally attached to some of them 🤭

In a more serious tone, I think the things for you to reflect on are can you afford it? Does effect your emotions in a bad way, eg, euphoria followed by guilt and depression later on creating a cycle? Are you prone to serious addictions? Or is it more that you're seeing a lot of nice ones in the shops lately, but perhaps they'll be fewer you like when the fashion changes and your buying habit will wane?

Don't even look at Matalan's summer dresses...(I don't work for them by the way, just recently discovered how nice some of their stuff is!)

I'm the same with loungewear. I have a few types of ribbed soft flared leggings in every colour they sold. Plus so many bralettes and cardigans and robes to wear on comfy days. What's bad is I know my taste will change soon and I'll be buying more of another type... It's an addiction but it's alright with me!

No, I mean I don't seriously think I've got a problem. I only buy cheap ones. I can't fit them all in the drawer though.

You’re fine OP, if you can afford them and it makes you happy then it’s harming no one. I probably have 4 x that amount, I was thinking yesterday I need to prune down my collection a bit. I collect clothes, I know I do - I have 52 pairs of jeans for example - but it’s a hobby. Enjoy being comfy!
