What are you lusting over but will (probably) never get?

You just WANT it but you won’t or can’t buy it because it’s too impractical, too expensive, not a necessity, not sensible, unreasonable, etc. Every so often you’ll look at it online, sigh longingly, give the screen a loving stroke and sadly close the page.

I’m not a fan of the LV logos on bags but this I love!

A lilac Belstaff leather biker jacket in the softest leather ever

It was just a tiny bit too tight though

A border collie, have had dogs all my life but never a border collie, and a mini (car) not practical for our family sadly.

Ever since someone on S&B linked to something - not my thread but I clicked anyway - this keeps coming up on my feed. Drool.

Not very stylish or beautiful but a skip 😂
Would love to just chuck stuff without the faff of loading up the car and taking it to the tip Grin

A Maine Coon cat.

Oh yes!!! We had three during an extension a while back and it was joyous just chucking everything into the skip. I'd hire one a year if I could.

Gosh, yes. I'm tempted to have my garden cat secured so I can get one.

A new car.

I want either a Mini Cooper convertible, or a Nissan Figaro.

(I can afford neither right now).

I’d love a dark bottle green, long wool coat with a big hood, with big pockets and a nipped in waist, with big green buttons. I imagine a kind of forest snow queen vibe, but no fur.

i’d also like a pair of tan/brown leather sandals that actually fit my weird feet and are comfortable to walk in and don’t look like granny shoes. And that make my feet look like dainty little feminine feet.

I’d like to buy an old rundown chateau with lots of land and a lake at the back. I’d do it up and have horses, cats, dogs, chickens and other animals on the land.

This won’t happen because I don’t have enough money for even a tiny chateau, I’m crap at DIY so it would get more and more rundown, and I think I might be too lazy to look after lots of animals.

NoraLuka · 06/04/2024 21:48

Just noticed this is style and beauty so I’d add an undercut like in the picture. I think it would look great on someone else but wouldn’t suit me.

A Maine Coon cat.

I recently got a Siberian for my allergic child. He is utterly lovely in temperament and fur (the cat, not the child). He cost £1000, half as much as my banger car, but he is the best thing I have ever bought.

@Abitlosttoday hello from a fellow Sib owner.

I keep being drawn to the Zimmermann website. I have a fondness for high-necked clothing. I suspect I’m way too short for their clothes and I object to hacking large quantities of fabric off to make things fit.

Really short hair.

Defiantlynot41 · 06/04/2024 23:25

Anything from this selection, but particularly the earrings or the 3 stone ring

Hmm. Not sure where the sledding photo came from!

This cardigan, I could afford it but it takes too much care to look after it

There's a jacket in a catalogue came today which is soooooooo me. It's beaut. But £100 and I can't justify spending that on an item of clothing for myself.

Floisme shared this jacket on the Cabbages and Roses thread and I can't stop thinking about it: https://www.cabbagesandroses.com/products/flossie-frock-jacket-in-pale-pink-wool?variant=48260193517843

That's more realistic and wearable than the Row dress I'm lusting after.
