I have made a list of everything I want…

No point to this post, just chat.

New season, just got married, so some big bills still to pay off…

Just made a list of everything I want, indulgently, as I can live without all of these things. But still all practical, all will be worn a lot, no one-season wonders.

Just clothes and footwear - exactly 25 items, £2,000. Kind of relieved to have written all down, to chip away at. How does your list look like?

Radiolala · 05/10/2024 21:56

What’s on your list?

JMAngel1 · 05/10/2024 22:10

wow that must be some list at an average of £80 per item.
now we need to know what’s on it!

Summitfunnyupthere · 05/10/2024 22:14

I have a list also but I’ve been collecting a lot off vinted. It’s been amazing, but a lot of the items were quite classic and some a bit too luxurious to afford new. lots of lambswool jumpers, a beautiful leather bag, branded shoes which I can never afford full price but I know last me years , things like that.
The money I save on clothing will be for the things that aren’t available second hand, good hair, nice make up, and healthy food for the glow!
I found some beautiful big cos scarves, a cashmere coat, so many bargains!

healthybychristmas · 05/10/2024 22:35

I would absolutely love to see all of your lists. I've lost 2.5 stone and have another couple to go. I am busy planning the clothes I can buy at Christmas time and would love some good ideas.

SnipSnipMrBurgess · 05/10/2024 22:38

I too want to see this list!

With links!

We want lists!

dudsville · 06/10/2024 07:42

I agree this thread needs your list op! I do not have a list, but in a similar vein, I no longer shop in a random browsing kind of way. I sit with the want of a thing for a good loooooong while to see if it is a passing whim. And in that meantime I really consider what it would add to my wardrobe.

Brogues · 06/10/2024 07:50

Here’s my list(s):

Clothing
Pinafore or waistcoat
Cream midi skirt
100 stars green Paisley trousers
Fuchsia or cobalt jumper
Silk tshirt M&S
Breton tshirt/Arket striped tshirt
Linen short PJs with scallops
Chunky long cardigan
Pleated shorts or short kilt

Accessories
Chunky socks
Striped sports socks
Max Mara clutch
Copper clutch bag
Tiny gold earrings
White gold diamond studs
Charm connector necklace
Wool bandana
Bedsocks (replacement)
Sheepskin slippers (replacement)
Debobbler (replacement)
Handheld steamer

Beauty
Clarins body spray
Bath Potion
Bubble shampoo
Shay & Blue lip tint balm
Wunderskin lip stain
Sun SPF stick Korean
Cleansing powder Dermatalogica or Korean
Hot brush

Edited to add some things have been on a couple of years either waiting for the perfect item (or price) or to ask for as gifts.

Oh this is a great thread! I have been pinteresting these last couple of months trying to reinvent myself a bit since having a baby! It’s taken me quite a while as he is nearly three but so needed to get myself back to some degree! I’ve been embracing colour and also buying on vinted! Following to see all your lists! X

FemmeFemme · 06/10/2024 07:54

Blimey! I didn’t expect anyone to be interest in MY list. My plan is break it up now into categories like work office, WFH, weekend, out out, to prioritise. I will do that and post here, may take a few days.

One thing on it is Uniqlo cashmere scarf. I have only seen it on mannequin in the shop window, so have not touched it but it looks light and airy for my small frame, and most importantly has tassels. I have always wanted a cosy scarf with tassels but most high street cashmere is a bare edge. Last year I have got a fur lined white cable knit hat off Amazon with a big pom pom - love wearing it on canal walks, it’s like my winter crown 🤣

Have a great weekend!

Place marking here in anticipation of The List

henlake7 · 06/10/2024 13:24

Its a great idea to have a list, I bet it will feel good to buy something and cross it off!😃

TBH Im mostly ok. After losing 100Ibs Ive replaced most of my wardrobe thanks to sales and Vinted. Just need;
a couple of plain coloured jumpers
some DM style boots
'undergarments' (stuff like thermal tops, petticoats, tights)

Attelina · 06/10/2024 13:32

There is only one thing I want and I don't think I can wait for Christmas. A pair of enamelled earrings by CeCe. I don't mind if it's the forget me knots or the ivy ones, they are lovely.

Brogues · 07/10/2024 13:05

Oh they look beautiful @Attelina but the price 😳

Wow that's a fantastic weight loss. Were you using Mounjaro?

They are so expensive! Gorgeous, though.

Nope, menopause hit and it turned out my binge eating disorder and depression was all related to my hormones! 🙄
