Is there anything you are a complete sucker for?😁
Several things for me!

Disturbia skater dresses (love em)
Joanie jumpers...thanks to Vinted I have loads.
Primark sales (you know it won't last long but a couple of quid for a dress is so good!)
Anything leaf print, especially ferns. I love ferns in my house and also on my wardrobe.😊

1 Black and white dots or b&w pinstripes.
2 Black, buttery soft, genuine leather, interesting, handbags - must be all four of these. They are hard to find.
3 Black bags with brightly coloured lining, all the better if it is patterned. Here in NZ we have a small business owner who makes a lovely range of bags in response to custom orders - you choose the leather and the lining. She also does a repair/rejuvenate service where the leather can be refreshed, hardware checked and the lining replaced.

leather jackets, I own 5 😅 (all slightly different styles though)
High waist straight leg jeans

Army /sage green and handkerchief hems.

I have been told I look like I belong in a picture book of woodland spirits before

T-shirts. My life feels like a quest for the perfect one.
Trainers. They make me happy.
Coats. I have so many, and yet there’s always room in my life for one more.

KatharinaRosalie · 08/04/2025 05:19

Bras. Big boobs and in my youth, nothing beyond C-cup was available, so I can't stop buying bras and bikinis in my correct size.

Mini/travel versions of cosmetics. They're just so cute. In theory, I can use them when travelling. In practice, I use about 5% and rest clutter up my bathroom.

Knitwear - I have so many cardigans and jumpers but can’t help buying more.
Colour & pattern - especially red & pink together or some embroidered fruit or something.

PinkPeonyPlease · 08/04/2025 06:13

The newest concealer, they all promise to hide my dark circles but never deliver.

Funderthighs · 08/04/2025 06:14

Stripes. I just love a stripe. I can’t stay away from them.

GoldenPineapple15 · 08/04/2025 06:17

Corduroy dresses . So comfy and cosy . I have 5 , all different styles and colours .

LoveDandelions · 08/04/2025 07:51

Wool jumpers and cardigans. I have far too many. I keep them bagged in a lidded box (fear of moths, even though I haven't seen one for years!) so often forget what I have. But I can't resist them.

ooooh, corduroy anything!😃
I have dresses, skirts, trousers, a shirt, a jacket, bags.....even a pair of corduroy trainers!

Also pinafore dresses. I think I have about 8 now (3 of which are corduroy!😊).
They are just a winter staple for me. Thermal tights, jumper, pinafore and chunky cardie is just such a comfy outfit.
Also they are so cheap on Vinted, I paid between £1 to £5 for each of them!

SaraSunny · 08/04/2025 09:59

Handbags with silver hardware
Summer dresses
Nude shoes
Silver necklaces

Enormous cashmere jerseys. Like wearing a hug.

I spend a disgusting amount of money on Disturbia - cannot resist their sales!

I have just been sorting out my skincare/cosmetics and horrified myself with how many minis I have. I don't do many short trips so no idea why I am prepared as though I do!!!! 😁

KatharinaRosalie · 08/04/2025 10:24

But cuteness! Teeny tiny bottles and tubes. I just threw away a full carrier bag of samples and mini tubes, as many of them were absolutely ancient. But send me an ad with a free gift bag of minis and here I go again...

BitOutOfPractice · 08/04/2025 10:24

Jumpsuits. Silver shoes.

Magpie50 · 09/04/2025 05:28

Thought of another one!
Mini sling bags from uniqlo. I actually have 9 of these in various finishes and colours!😊

Not sorry though. They are cheap, the perfect size and go with so many outfits. Plus some of mine are the Primark dupes so even cheaper....added bonus, they store flat so take up very little room.😁

According to my wardrobe it’s a green cardigan. Or 12 of them.
