Serial purchasing- styles you're addicted to

Inspired by a conversation I had with my friend earlier.

Every time we go out shopping, I ALWAYS end up buying a striped tee, I now own 10 in total in various colours and styles. I am completely addicted to them!

My friends addiction is to grey knitted jumpers. She has 12 in total but keeps buying more.

Its become a running joke so we've agreed to try and broaden our horizons and each stop buying our respective obsessive compulsive purchase.

Surely we aren't the only people with a habit?! Come one, come all and share your addiction.

Yep to striped tops and yep to grey jumpers. I seem to be living in black skinnies too. My other addiction is baggy linen tshirts with a vest top underneath. I feel very boring and frumpy. I need some inspiration and to lose about two stone

I've actually got some money put aside to buy a few new bits but I don't know what to get.

Khaki skinny jeans and jeggings (I'm always drawn to khaki).

Borris · 30/09/2017 18:54

I came on to say stripes Grin

coffeekittens · 30/09/2017 18:58

Stripe t-shirts, black skinny jeans and cream jumpers.

Singap0reSling · 30/09/2017 18:58

Black dresses. I have many. Still not enough.

Bombardier25966 · 30/09/2017 19:01

Mine used to be Boden boatneck tees, had them in every colour at one point. Then they changed them and I've still not found a replacement. Muh.

Stripes don't work for me, despite trying numerous different stripey tops!

jennielou75 · 30/09/2017 19:21

Tunics......lots of them!

CountFosco · 30/09/2017 19:25

Boden cropped cashmere cardigans. Other than that trainers. I generally have a shoe addiction but that includes 10 pairs of trainers and yet I'm still considering getting some more.

CakeNinja · 30/09/2017 19:33

Navy dresses and grey jumpers! Have so many near identical but not quite Grin

UnaPalomaBlanca · 30/09/2017 19:42

I only wear navy blue. Except footwear.

Polkadot1974 · 30/09/2017 19:51

Striped tops here too. And cardigans which look shit after two washes

bingohandjob · 30/09/2017 20:10

Black and white stripes and polka dots.

AnyFucker · 30/09/2017 20:14

Long cardis

Slippers

Scarves

Strummerville · 30/09/2017 20:15

Chunky, snuggly, slouchy jumpers and cardigans in natural fibres. It's a comfort thing. I love to make the house / myself cold (by sitting next to an open window, for example) and then put one on and curl up on the couch.

I've got so many that last winter some were only worn once or not at all, even though I love them Blush

Really, really making an effort now to say "I DON'T NEED ANOTHER JUMPER" to myself whenever I see them.

BeastOfCraggyIsland · 30/09/2017 20:17

I seem to collect grey knitted jumpers too. Also hoodies for casual wear/dog walking, I must have about 12 from Superdry, Fat Face, Saltrock etc. and Salomon trainers, I have 7 pairs.

IToldYouIWasFreaky · 30/09/2017 20:20

Ha! I was coming on to say striped t-shirts (long sleeved) and grey jumpers.

And Toms. I love Toms. I have 4 pairs on the go at the moment but I need more!

MsUnderstanding · 30/09/2017 20:23

Striped tops here too. I've been very good and not bought one for about four months. Black trousers and skirts isn't another problem. I tried branching out and buying navy trews recently but the don't feel right.

taytotayto111 · 30/09/2017 20:33

Super skinny jeans and grey jumpers. I have a problem. Please send help😫😫😫

ElfrideSwancourt · 30/09/2017 22:00

Fitflops- I have them in every style and colour- I have really bad plantar fasciitis and they help massively. Finding sparkly feminine shoes that give me pain relief was amazing- must have about 20-30 pairs

KickAssAngel · 30/09/2017 22:18

I have about 7 pairs of converse.

And at least 3 pairs of black shoe/boots with a 'slight' heel. I always convince myself that they'll be comfortable enough to wear all day, then wear them once and decide I should keep them for best. But I never go anywhere 'best' so they sit there. gathering dust.

GlowWorm123 · 30/09/2017 22:20

Vest tops. In any colour.

I have about 15 plain black ones!

PNGirl · 01/10/2017 09:48

Stripes! Ankle length skinny jeans too.

Pinkvici22 · 01/10/2017 10:23

Plain v neck t shirts - in black, white and grey. I just keep buying them....

In fact I can't stop shopping at the moment....

PolkadottyRose · 01/10/2017 10:26

I too am addicted to stripey tops..and shoes/ boots..have so many but I always see more that I "need". Fast catching up with coats/jackets too.
