What item do you always want more of?

You know how people always joke about women and shoes? Well shoes don't do it for me, but bags do. I am always looking at new bags...handbags, shopping bags, leather, canvas, PVC....I just seem to get drawn to the bag section of shops.
One of my friends buys lipsticks, lots of lipsticks, and lip glosses and lip balms....Grin
Dd gets drawn to tights....

What do you buy too much of, or at least more than any other item?

Scarves, scarves & more scarves. Love 'em. Have one to go with every outfit. Even brought two on my sun holiday and got laughed at for wearing them in the heat. I just feel underdressed without one on!Blush

WonaLotteofMedals · 08/08/2012 21:47

Bags for me too!

angryfurball · 09/08/2012 06:02

It's shoes for me, and nail polish. I have a ridiculous amount of nail polish.

MrsMangoBiscuit · 09/08/2012 06:10

Pants! Blush

FelixCited · 09/08/2012 06:40

Shoes, can't resist !

AmberNectarine · 09/08/2012 07:16

I operate in phases, I'll decide I don't have enough of an item, most recently it's been court shoes, and I'll buy three pairs in a fortnight. When my desire for said item is sated, I will move on to the next...

ujjayi · 09/08/2012 07:41

Scarves for me too. It has been about 4 years since my addiction started.... :o

But like AmberNectarine I go through phases. Currently I am in an earrings phase. I have never been bothered about them before but suddenly I am finding pairs I love everywhere! Thankfully we are talking Top Shop as opposed to Tiffany Wink.

Peeenut · 09/08/2012 07:57

I'm not really into shoes but I do love chunky boots.

BikeRaceRunningRaceNoSkiing · 09/08/2012 07:59

chunky boots for me too.

SpringGoddess · 09/08/2012 08:17

Boots and shoes. Doesn't matter fat you feel footwear can always be purchased. Think it's the same with scarves, bags and jewellery.

DottyDot · 09/08/2012 08:19

Bags... Bags bags bags bags bags. Bags!

BunnyLebowski · 09/08/2012 08:25

I don't get the bag thing. I have 2 from Primark. That's it! I'll buy another when they fall apart.

For me it's dresses. And t-bar heels.

Cartoonjane · 09/08/2012 08:34

Bags. I have loved bags since I was a little girl. I think it was something to do with keeping things together and being organised. I still get an excited feeling about having all my stuff held together in one place when I buy a new bag.

alwaysrunninginheels · 09/08/2012 08:49

Bags bags bags.....jeans also.....shoes....nail polish.......

IDismyname · 09/08/2012 08:51

Scarves. Love 'em.

DontCallMeBaby · 09/08/2012 08:54

Shoes for me, but not the craving-a-pair-of-Jimmy-Choos type thing - multiple pairs of Converse, Birkinstocks, biker boots, DMs for me. Though I did have a more stereotypically girlie drool over the Irregular Choice display in Schuh the other day. Mmmm.

sphynx · 09/08/2012 08:55

For me it's bags too, I have loved them since being a small child. I have recently become obsessed with shoes and finding the perfect summer shoe/sandal for a holiday. Why, I can't explain!

Drywhiteplease · 09/08/2012 08:57

Phases for me too..........bought 4 statement necklaces the other day!
I don't need any more bags but just can't help it.
Knickers too.
Gym kit lasted a while (because I hate it and had to find some nice stuff...quite a mission)
Bras.....a. Huge undertaking, to find one that fits, doesn't show bulk through t shirts etc....bought 3!!
Tunics lasted a while....now have loads (Boden) and kind of gone off them ( thanks MN and Dukan)
Oh I have had many phases.........Grin

anniewoo · 09/08/2012 09:49

Bags, shoes, lippies and bronzer.

newpup · 09/08/2012 09:59

Bags! I used to be 6 stone heavier and loved bags because I could buy them like everyone else! I am now (after tonnes of hard work) a normal size and still love bags! I fall in love with them and really enjoy using them.

Last purchase was on a weekend in USA with DH. He bought me a beautiful honey colour designer tote bag, just gorgeous!

germyrabbit · 09/08/2012 10:04

hoodies, though i am a chav

HazleNutt · 09/08/2012 10:09

Bras. I could wear a different one every day for ..a long time. It's due to the deprivation in my youth when i was already an F-cup, but most places only went up to D, if that. After years of ill-fitting bras, I just can't stop buying nice ones.

polyhymnia · 09/08/2012 10:10

Scarves, bags, shoes, nail polish, sheer nude lipsticks/shines.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 09/08/2012 15:35

Black tops - I have been known to buy two identical ones at the same time, or two identical except in two different sizes, for wearing in different ways.

Bracelets - I have nice slim wrists (not much else of me is slim!) and I like to jingle.

LCarbury · 09/08/2012 15:40

I was going to say tights when I saw the thread title but I realise that's not what you meant!

I like lots of different necklaces, just Accessorise ones or similar I mean.
