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.😊

Anything with a ‘shoulder’
Cropped boxy jumpers
barrel trews
colourful trainers are my real crack cocaine

Stab stitch. Go figure.

Temptation.
I always have to yield to it.
Such fun.
Tho’ it does have consequences.
I’m quite resilient.
😉😁😁.

Anything bright orange catches my eye. I have a pair of day glo orange calf socks that make me smile every time I wear them.

Gowlett · 09/04/2025 15:57

I’m scarf crazy. To go with all of my coats.

tobee · 09/04/2025 16:17

Jeans (boring)
Bags and wallets
Towels
Duvet covers

Used to be swatch watches but I have an Apple watch now so I've knocked that on the head.

Oh and perfume. How could I forget

Plaid, bonus if it's flannel
Oversized sweatshirts, the softer the better, in light/neutral or pastel colours
PJ bottoms, always on a quest for the ultimate perfect pair, which is bonkers because I already have multiple perfect pairs that I couldn't improve on, so make that one make sense
Wool and cashmere knitwear - this is the biggie (and the expensivey). This is the time of year I start eyeing the huge task of running down the freezer so I've got room to freeze them all for a few days each before bagging in their special, breathable, expensive bags and packing them away. Just the chunky winter ones, the finer ones can stay and be worn through spring

bushproblems · 09/04/2025 18:26

Anything orange or red.

JMAngel1 · 09/04/2025 19:19

Old school Marc Jacob handbags
Suede knee high boots
Leather skirts
Belted long coats - Maxmara style but not unfortunately Maxmara!

These sound amazing! 🤩

Talisin · 13/04/2025 17:42

Boots (almost always black). Black jumpers. And as several others have already said, Disturbia - almost always try anything that’s midaxi or longer, love their prints.

Santina · 13/04/2025 18:29

Shoes, high end, mid price, all sorts. Belts, bags, scarves and jackets. Oh and gloves. I just can't help myself, my husband, actually converted a bedroom into a room where I can lay everything out.

Catsandcannedbeans · 13/04/2025 18:54

A Marlboro Gold cigarette in a beer garden after a pint. Disgusting, I know. I quit 6 years ago but occasionally if the suns out I’ll have one. Especially if I’m with my dad, I cannot sit there and watch him chain smoke. I also have one on my birthday and after Christmas dinner.
Also puggies. If I’m out and happen to have cash, I cannot resist sticking a tenner on the puggies and having a few spins. When I worked in a pub I had a rule that I could only gamble my tips, now it’s I can only gamble and tenner and I can’t take cash out to do it.
As much as I’ve changed, I am still a chav at heart.

Did not realise this thread was primarily about clothing lol. Tbf I cannot resist a pair of joggers. I don’t tend to go out in them tho after one time I picked DD up from school in a pair of joggers and a hoodie and I got some dirty looks.

namechangeGOT · 13/04/2025 18:59

Top end haircare - shampoo/Conditioner/masks/serums - you name it I want it and I will have it. If my only choice in life was Alberto Balsam or Pantene type creations I’d weep.

Diesel Jeans

adidas leggings.

converse. But only leather white low tops. I get a new pair every 2 months.

Branster · 13/04/2025 19:02

Clothes not so much in the sense that I don't buy similar items all the time unless it's for a replacement. However, I'd sometimes spot a dress /skirt/ any item of clothing that I fall in love with on the spot and I just buy it without even looking the price. Thankfully I don't shop at high end couture places!!! And luckily this instant love doesn't happen more than once a year sometimes less.

But dear lord I can't stop buying beauty edits!!! I have a separate budget just for that so I don't get completely carried away. I'd buy at least 1 every week if I'd allow it.

deste · 13/04/2025 19:57

Coats and jackets. I have loads, also ski jackets.

nbee84 · 13/04/2025 20:11

Sports leggings and hoodies. I have way too many 😣

tommyhoundmum · 13/04/2025 20:13

embroidery, chocolate buttons, Greek yoghurt and honey

Wellhellotheremydear · 13/04/2025 20:19

I have a huge thing for trenchcoats at the moment. Long, short, wool, cotton everything. So glad there are so many to choose from ATM 😁.

fatimashortbread · 13/04/2025 21:06

Lanx shoes

Flossy1985 · 14/04/2025 06:06
