Most expensive fashion mishap/mistake

[ProveYourLoveToMe]

Make me feel better about having to spend £15 to return some frickin' shoes!

Oh Pinkflip did someone really say that?? Nice customer service. (Not)

OP where is charging you £15 to return shoes?! Name and shame.

Everything I ever purchased non-sale price from APC.
Also a Commes des Garcons cardigan.

Emperors new bollocks.
Did well reselling though, so no physical damage done.

Some Gucci shoes that were about £300 in the sale. Gucci don't make shoes for normal feet, I have fairly narrow feet but these are too skinny. If there's anyone out there with really narrow size 3/4 feet that wants to make me an offer???

Swedish hasbeens going all the way back to Sweden. They're faulty, so p&p should be refunded, but we'll see...

A pair of Miu Miu flat shoes, most uncomfortable shoes ever. I think I wore then twice. And they weren't on sale

my white company cashmere socks developed holes v v quickly. they only went from bed to loo and back. now they're so holey but still wearing them. will need ideas for some for next winter.
javotte am having nightmare thoughts of similar customs bills!

Oh God. Customs bills. I recently bought a pair of Uggs on Ebay which haven't arrived yet and I think the cost of the customs bill is going to make them more spenny than buying them here. Am so stupid.

There are many, many things lurking in my wardrobe and in two ruddy great big storage bags under the bed which have either been worn once, or not at all. Due to shopping when pre-menstrual.

There's a particularly lurid frock which makes me look like Sue Pollard's fatter more "zany" sister which cost me £120.

Yes condescending cow said cashmere was meant to look piled and I needed to know that it was a sign of a quality product. The fact that 2 giant holes appeared in the cardigan rendering it unwearable added more to its expensive look, she assured me.

I will NEVER shop there again!

Pinkflip - that lady is a liar and a scoundrel.

My worst mistake was a holey Iro jersey. It is lovely and heavenly soft, hand-knitted alpaca, woven from unicorn's breath by parisienne elves, etc. but it makes me look like a damaged draught excluder.

Ebay, horrendously undersold.

I went through a stage when I used retail therapy to get through a tough time, with some dire results!!!

An expensive pair of jigsaw boots that were half a size too small.
A pair of APC trousers that were a size too big - I got them taken in but they were never quite right.
I could go on and on.

I am now quite a careful shopper but still make mistakes.

£185 jaeger dress I bought for £40 dh washed in the machine only to then see the 'dry clean only' label. To be fair it is 100% cotton so don't get why it's dry clean only.

Anyway. The fabric faded after that wash

Last Winter I bought a coat from Brora - blackcurrant / dark green tartan. Wore it once and felt a bit grannyish. Going to try to rescue it with an absract floral scarf from Cos this Winter, but suspect I've made an expensive mistake (sob)

Worriedmumof8 has just reminded me of the 300 quid cashmere dress I inexpicably shoved in the washing machine with a BRAND NEW RED COAT.

The results were inevitable. I contacted the designer and asked her to have a scoot around her warehouse/back of radiator but alas all gone. Luckily though, I managed to get the same dress BNWT from Ebay for 24 quid!

I've also spent £15 to return crap. It sucks.
Also...I keep buying naice expensive things that are just a tiny bit too small. No I won't lose that weight - and my shoulders and feet won't shrink!
