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.😊

Stripes! Once DS collected all the striped tshirts I had bought him to show me…

Teeth grill/bling - never had any, but I do love a little gem on a canine or full row of gold framing 😬 What I would have to get are good ol braces, though.

Coats/jackets - according to the weather where I am, and my lifestyle, I should be in a fully waterproof, hooded and insulated outdoorsy raincoat. But my jackets and coats say I live in the middle of a city where it rarely rains, and I often swoosh in and out of taxis/buildings.

And perfume, but I resist buying most of it!

Shoes. I'm a proper size 9 (or a proper 8.5, not that they exist any more) and old, but refuse to buy velcro slippers. If they are even vaguely stylish and they fit, I buy 'em.
I have some really strange styles 😄

Craft supplies
Yeti products
Cheesecake
Hoodies from places we visit

Trolling right wingers.

Obscenely bright, contrasting colours, sometimes which fade into each other.
Luckily, that's fashionable in some respects now, more so trainers and I absolutely love it 🤩
Cashmere (from vinted). I've got two Cashmere hoodie from vinted and the latest one I have is split colour from Mint Velvet and looks brand new. It only cost me £25 and according to the Web is worth £179, which I can well believe.
I love Liberty print clothing and bags, of which I have a huge amount of thanks to Vinted again!
Boden from years ago (again from Vinted) because the quality is on point.
Items that are good imitations of Liberty print: I have a beautiful pink jump suit from River Island that could pass as Liberty and it is absolutely perfect!

Im also a sucker for embroidery.
Realiesed this recently as I have alot of items with subtle embroidery on them.
Currently wearing a dress and cardie with embroidery and even my parka I was wearing this morning has some embroidered words on it!

RampantIvy · 20/04/2025 13:17

Knitwear
Trousers/jeans
Dresses
Lipstick

I cant get excited about bags or trainers as I view them as practical items rather than fashion items

HorribleHisTories15 · 20/04/2025 20:26

Knitwear
boots
hair products (especially conditioners and leave on conditioners)
bags (yes, I’m a secret bag lady, I’d wear more than two at a time if I could)
lipsticks/ gloss

FazeleysRoyale · 20/04/2025 20:40

Hot pink anything. It’s getting ridiculous now.

Shetlands · 20/04/2025 20:46

Slouchy black asymmetric tops with a slight off-shoulder vibe.
Tropical, leaf heavy prints.
Bright Birkenstock Gizeh.
Slouchy jumpsuits.
Really fine jumpers.

NoFrillyStuff · 20/04/2025 21:05

Jeans. I love them. Straight leg, wide leg, balloon, barrel, all washes. Mostly bought from Vinted.

Trainers.
Also converse 1970s

Chunky small hoop earrings - I must have about 20 odd pairs that I’ve collected over the years.

Perfume. I don’t have a big collection but I have about 8 that I alternate between, depending on the season.

Lipstick. I love nude pinks and peachy shades. I don’t actually have much make up and tend to stick to my favourite items but I swoon over a lovely new lipstick shade.

QueefofSheena · 20/04/2025 21:38

Disturbia blazer jackets and their blazer dresses that I wear as jackets. Also at the moment Goodr sunglasses and Viv Westwood specs. Wigs (I have med induced alopecia)

Pigtailsandall · 21/04/2025 09:10

Graphic tees. I love them and wear them nearly daily.

Serums, which is bad cause they're usually expensive.

Vitrolinsanity · 21/04/2025 10:46

Right now, Pom
Pom handbags. I’m considering the travel bag.

Tops or dresses that are sky blue and white.

Jo Malone scent.

White t shirts, specifically heavier fabric with a boxy shape that falls just slightly lower than waist.

LunaTheCat · 21/04/2025 10:49

Cashmere knitwear .. often pre loved.
cardigans.. merino/cashmere winter and cotton in summer.
Dresses.. I love them summer/winter
scarves .. I always feel dressed and chic
lovely handbags .. not designer but made well in leather
socks .. love them, wear with docs and boots in winter with my dresses… tights are the work of the devil
bright lipsticks.. as I have aged brighter lips are better

I have a couple from Uniqlo that I wear all the time.

FirstSheIsWise · 22/04/2025 01:55

Boat neck or slash neck tops with dolman sleeves that are fitted at the waist. My children think of them as my defining clothes item. I currently have seven but I'm on the lookout for a couple of replacements.

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...

@KatharinaRosalie I donate unopened samples to women's/homeless refuges/charities. Boots also has a toiletry donation box.

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

The new doublewear 24 hour one from Estee lauder is very good!

That and polynucleotides for something long-term.
