The ones where you know you don't need it but decide to buy it refardless?

After contemplating it for over a year I finally bought a Mulberry scarf in the sales for around half of the rrp. I did leave it and then though OFI and bought it!

I often have 'oh fuck it' moments and order a load of stuff. Then have major buyers remorse and send most of it back!
My wedding dress was a big OFI moment. I was all set to be sensible and get a dress at a reasonable price then thought buggar it and ordered one that was more than double the price. I don't regret it for a moment. It was the equivalent of 2 months wages but I felt amazing in it!
Which scarf did you get? I've been lusting after a tamara scarf for a couple of years. It's top of my wish list for autumn.

I bought an expensive coat in Rome a few years ago. I just fell completely for it. Although it is something that will never date (I hope)

Dancing not a Tamara although I was tempted by a full pricr Tamar is a dusky blue colour which was like the colour of light denim.

I cant find a pic at the moment

mine was a leather jacket,its more than what i would normally pay for a jacket,but i could not stop thinking about it,and it is now one of my all time best buys.

I have 'oh fuck it' moments regularly.

My most recent one was making a pair of "Shoes of Prey" shoes.

I bought a pair of Kurt Geigers recently. They had a huge sale on but not a single nice pair in my size. So I thought fuck it and bought a full price pair Blush

A weeks wage!

They are beautiful though!

Ooh Jam U can see why you threw caution to the wind there!

A smythson tote at bicester. Unneeded but much coveted.

DancingRoundTheKitchen · 05/08/2013 15:54

I love Smythson goodies!

PeriPathetic · 05/08/2013 15:58

Loads. Most recent was a short Burberry trench. Well worth it!

A zebra print, glittery jimmy box clutch. I can literally for my phone and a credit card in it, but it is fabulous!

A Marc Jacobs handbag from the sale at Browns. I had tore a picture of it out of Vogue months before in the vain hope I would find something similar on the high street. I never thought I'd get to own the real thing. I love it years later.

ModCloth dresses. I'll look at my savings, think "I really ought to upgrade the fridge...OFI."
The fridge doesn't desperately need replacing, and they are so very pretty...
