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?

Bags for me too, and lippies & jackets. Have far too many jackets.

Large tote bags

Pants

Knee length denim skirts

Vests

Zip-up hoodies

Striped top! I have loads - Bretons, jumpers, vests, tee shirts. I just love stripes and always feel particularly perky when I wear them! Dd has started to complain that she would rather not have any more stripey tops herself though. Blush

Dresses, I'm obsessed and never have enough. I have a few in my 'bag' in all favourite online stores.

Always want more tops. Always.

Don't get the bag thing. Can't understand it.

FrankieAndArthur · 09/08/2012 18:19

Clothes, boots and Ballet Flats.

The only thing I am not mad about is jeans and to be honest I see people in them and think they look stylish and fab, but I always, always look like a farmer in them Grin

headfairy · 09/08/2012 18:21

eye make up. I have far too much but love buying it. You're never too fat for an eyeliner :o

DonaAna · 09/08/2012 18:21

Erm dd2 worked out yesterday that I'd bought nine pairs of shoes/boots in the last three weeks [embarrased].

yellowraincoat · 09/08/2012 18:35

Shoes and eye shadow.

I have started buying shoes in duplicate because I so rarely find comfy ones I like. So now I buy two pairs.

I see a nice eyeshadow and think "ooh pretty" and buy it.

Itsgottabebags · 09/08/2012 20:04

Bras, scarves and bags

Drywhiteplease · 09/08/2012 20:41

Oh ....have just looked in my wardrobe and I have 17 little fitted cardigans!!!!

KandyBarr · 09/08/2012 20:49

Prim little blouses are my latest craze - Peter Pan collars, prairie style, Victorian, pussy bow - I've bought the lot in the last couple of months. I wear them with dark-rinse jeans or skinnies - never skirts.

Pendulum · 09/08/2012 20:54

Fitted casual jackets - cord, velvet, denim in lots of colours. Love wearing them with a dress or with jeans and a T. I think I have 7!

LittlePandaBear · 09/08/2012 21:05

It used to be shoes and boots, but it was an expensive habit to continue with so I have to restrict my urge!

I've always bought too much mascara - always want to try the next new one and then forget which ones I liked in the first place. I probably buy at least one a month...

bleedingheart · 09/08/2012 21:45

Bags. Always. Been obsessed since I had my first cast-off aged 2.
Have other phases too, currently necklaces and pendants.

Eliza22 · 09/08/2012 22:22

Bags.....not shoes. White shirts. And worryingly, at the moment, makeup. I've become a sucker for packaging and those shiny "girly" things that make you feel better.
