My name's Pootle and I'm addicted to

[pootle123]

Breton tops. I've just counted them and I have 11 of the feckers. From Petit Bateau to Primark I can't seem to stop buying them. Anyone else got an item of clothing that they buy on repeat?

I have a self imposed rule that I must not buy any more tops that navy/stripes. I have far too many.

Maybe we need a BA group (breton annonymous) that meets weekly to try to break this addiction!

oh, I like this thread
i bought my third breton this week and wondered if that was weird
clearly not .

Like your idea! Nice to know I'm not alone Fuzzy. I look like an onion seller half the time Going the same way with jersey dresses for work. Must try to break this addiction.

I've more than that

For some reason my work 'uniform' consists of wide leg trousers and a Breton top It's practical, and my job needs that but really, I should have an Internet filter thing to stop me buying any more

Charlotte If you only have 3 then you are doing well. I have lots.

Its my comfort zone outfit, skinny jeans a breton and a scarf. Unfortunately, it seems to be the go-to-outfit for every other mummy around here and we all end up looking like we are wearing a uniform

I really must break the addiction.

Cream blouses! I have dozens!!

Scarves! Don't get me started I have the mumsnet scarf in every colour, plus the birds one, numerous Zara ones and I've just discovered (whispers) M&S have got some nice ones that are pretty big and are good mulberry dupes. Where will this end?

My addiction would be scarves, but DH gives me A Look every time I try to buy another.

I think I may 'lose' a couple...

My DH has banned me from buying for bags for the forseeable future

He just doesn't understand

Breton tops!! Me too, I just can't stop. Every time I think I've found the perfect one I seem to see an even better one. But it gets worse, today I realised that not only I had a Breton on, i had also dressed each child on stripes too! Aaah. Help me!

One of the benefits of being addicted to buying near identical Breton tops is that DH doesn't notice. Have to be careful not to wash them and put them all on the airer at same time though

I went cold Turkey on Breton tops and kept 2! It was hard.

My weakness is coats shoes and bags. Using bad hips as an excuse to buy comfy shoes! Dh not fully buying this reasoning

I buy more Fly wedges than I should but they are so comfy and give much needed extra height. Only ever bought them on offer though never full price. Also addicted to moss green wool knitwear and have also got quite a few white shirts.

Bags, boots and scarves. Accessories are better than clothes in my opinion!

White Stuff wedges
They are the only people who make shoes I like in an 8 that actually fits.
I don't like dainty heels, but I do like wedges.

I only seem to like stripes though. Is that really so bad?!. It's really embarrassing when I accidentally dress my daughter in stripes too

Do White Stuff go as far as 9 BIkeSkiRun?

dd1 has hit that size and is suffering from inability to buy shoes in most shops syndrome. There's a White Stuff here but I'd never thought of it for shoes.

Monica BOXLEY bags (12 at the last count)
Boden wrap dresses

Sometimes I bore myself

Grey cashmere sweaters and cardigans...always had a bit of a thing for snuggly cardi's (DM used to call me Pauline Fowler), now my taste is just slightly more refined.

Also anything with sequins or embellishments, my wardrobe mainly consists of soft grey things and spangly stuff - which aren't often a great team. Getting a bit drag queeny now, have to rein myself in .

imperial No 9, but it's a generous 8. Has your DD tried Next, M&S and Clark's. Online, there's Amber and Rose too. Big branches of New Look and sometimes Barratts do a 9 too - these may be more up your DD's street.

Hi BikeSki, we've found New Look (thank God, it's within budget considering she's 13 and gets bored of fashion clothing just as quickly as we did at that age)

Will look at Amber & Rose, thanks.

Wrap dresses, just so easy for work, look smart and are comfy, really didn't need another one but did that stop me buying one yesterday? Oh no!

Bretons here too. Can't help it. I'm dotty about them

Another breton addict here! I have navy striped ones, beige striped ones and today, I am off to pick up a wine striped one... And have my eye on a further berry striped one. I wear with skinny jeans, straight leg jeans, cord skirt. Lots of people comment on my love of a stripe.

DH also laughs that I dress DC in stripes.

Scarves are another weakness. Especially fine wool type ones.

I'm currently in footwear rehab. Dd2 wrote my Mum a letter mentioning I'd bought 10 pairs in the last five weeks.
