I am looking at myjumper in despair. I coveted a sparkly V-neck boxy jumper from the White Company for ages but could not being myself to spend £85 on it. Saw one on Ebay and somehow (was I insane? drunk?) ended up in a bit of a bidding war and paid £55 for it. Tried to see it as a bargain (really, £55 is not exactly a giveaway, is it?), but...
Ten minutes after I'd worn it for the first time I had four giant pulls in it as the cat jumped on top of me, and it would appear to be made of the type of fabric that pulls and catches like buggery if you so much as look at it the wrong way. Got several more catches in it that same night just with my nails.
The second time I wore it I spilled mustard all down the front. Of course it's a hand-wash-in-cold-water-only garment, because of the shape and the sparkly bits. And you're not allowed to rub it. Or put Vanish on it. Or wring it out. Or dry clean it. Soaked it in cold water. Did the stain come out? No. Tried again in warm water. Still there.
So I am now looking down at my lovely £55 jumper that I have worn twice and that is covered in pulls and has indelible mustard stains on the front. Marvellous. Naturally things I have bought off Ebay that cost a tenth of that are still going strong. Would anyone like to make me feel better by confessing similar expensive wardobe errors?
