I bought an obscenely expensive jacket and I'm not sorry

[TheBeesKnee]

As a result of late night shopping and feeling sorry for myself infertility I have ended up with a beautiful leather jacket. £300 and I don't care. It's more than I've ever spent on any one thing besides my house and education. My friend said I need to be sectioned. I'm not sure if she's joking

Tell me what have you love and have treated yourself to against your better judgement?

Picture please 😍

That's fine. I have three leather jackets which were around the £400 mark. They are my most expensive items of clothing. But leather jackets don't come cheap. Shop away!!

Let's see it then

Leather jackets last forever! It's an investment!

I’ve bought myself many jackets costing upwards of £300 (£500 max)... don’t regret it in the slightest. I love clothes 😀

A one off Quba sails coat designed by me. Love it and can't wait for the cold weather so I can wear it again

Come on then let's have a look.

Just bought some Fly London boots £130 and love them! That's the most I've spent on boots

Not against my better judgement, but I seriously wanted a signed copy of Mein Kampf when DH saw it in an auction. Mainly because I love books, and partly because I love history, so this would have been great for my collection. (Obviously it's not good that it's a terribly racist and horrible book)
As it is, my book collection currently stands at maybe being worth a couple thousand.

I also have hundreds of Pokemon cards. Not sure how much they're worth, but I've got some pretty pricey ones. This is maybe against my better judgement...

I bought a diamond flower shaped ring a few weeks ago when I was feeling very sorry for myself!
I am sure your jacket is fab

I bought a Vivienne Westwood winter coat in 2007. £550 when I was only a few years working in London.

2 pregnancies aside, I've worn it every winter so I think it works out about 50p a wear! Bargain! Or do I tell myself.

I am struggling to think about my biggest clothing purchase...possibly my wedding dress at £180 ! But don’t feel guilty OP if you can afford it!

Good leather will last and last. So, good for you! Blazers, suits and coats are absolutely worth investing in. Have paid £600 or so for the odd vintage skirt suit but the quality, shape and style is absolutely worth it. They are heirloom pieces that I will pass down to my nieces.

Insensitive after the op said she was feeling down about her infertility.

I once bought a Vivienne Westwood dress totally on the spur of the moment and as I was going to the till I picked up a Westwood skirt and bought that too. That's the most I've ever spent on clothes in one fell swoop and worth every penny.

Hope your jacket brings you joy. I've just splurged on a beautiful but very impractical leather jacket but I know I'll feel happy whenever I wear it.

It's the All Saints Rigby Lux Biker jacket in size 12.

Here is me wearing it in the shop about a week ago when I decided it was too expensive and I should just definitely leave it.

Hmmmmmm didn't seem to attach the photo. Let's try again!

If you love it and you can afford it then why on earth would you feel guilty? People would happily spend a fortune on holidays, home improvements, cars etc etc - I can't see why a well made coat that will last for years and bring you pleasure is any more frivolous.

Looks great on you op. I hope you get loads of use out of it.

Blimey...

Very cool OP.

That looks fab and really suits your style in that pic. Love your hair! Enjoy it and ignore your friend.

It's a perfectly reasonable amount to spend on a cost you could wear for years. Enjoy it
