My life would be complete with a short sleeved chocolate brown boxy fit yet fluid T-shirt.

Straighter teeth.
Ankles. (As opposed to cankles).
The perfect trousers - they will be black, slouchy, wide legged, the right length and thickness. Not linen, not too thin, not scratchy, not creasey.

Have a look at Reiss. They have quite a few slouchy trouser styles.

Chanel double flap
Van Cleef Alhambra necklace and bracelet

I could buy them but can’t bring myself to. Although I have promised myself the Chanel once I hit a certain target which will hopefully be this year.

Sorry, that was in response to @LeaveALittleNote

DancingDucks · 10/05/2025 11:06

An unlimited amount of energy, wine and sleep.

Failing that, a pair of wide leg trousers that are suitable for a 5'2 woman that don't make me look like I'm wearing my dad's trousers.

The introduction of size 11 ☺️

If you mean clothes size next do/did a few trousers in odd sizing.

Damn. Out of stock everywhere i looked.

They usually keep them by the sense of humour; have a look there 😏

SoScarletItWas · 10/05/2025 11:37

A soft jersey, wide leg, full length, short sleeve black jumpsuit. Ideally with a tie belt. Not smart, not full casual, just throw it on for the day.

Not linen, not whatever passes for fabric from Boohoo and the like - nice flowy jersey type fabric.

I had the perfect one from Monsoon but it died and I cannot find a replacement. I want 32” so I’m too tall for most standard high street and not tall enough for Long Tall Sally 35” legs.

evilharpy · 10/05/2025 11:39

A cure for lipodema. All the lovely dresses and shorts I would wear!

If it's not too greedy I would love unfrizzy hair too please.

Try Next - my daughter has one which meets your criteria but it’s a couple of years old now

Must have been years ago as I’ve never seen it- constantly ordering size 10 and 12 in every bloody thing to see which fits best 🫣

TheLemonOtter · 10/05/2025 11:44

@remuslupinsbiggestgroupie
Fitflop rally are not trendy but they look surprisingly good on and they do a nice black with white sole? V good if want to wear when on your feet all day too!

SoScarletItWas · 10/05/2025 11:45

Thanks @VanCleefArpels i have stalked Next and the closet I can find is a textured one for £55, but I don’t like the style of the tie (sewn on and is bound not to sit on my actual waistline) so am hesitating!

Enough money to retire immediately. With a villa in Spain to travel to regularly.

Purplecatshopaholic · 10/05/2025 11:49

My life will never be complete until I have ALL THE SHOES….

Sorry I forgot this was Style and Beauty! Doh.

PomegranateVase · 10/05/2025 13:23

A navy Chanel flap handbag with gold hardware.

I can’t ever see me ever having enough money to own one sadly.

LazyHairLady · 10/05/2025 13:35

A keratin treatment (permanent blowdry) is a game changer. Makes your hair so much easier to manage, pretty much wash and leave. Goodbye frizz

These sandals
https://saharalondon.com/products/seam-leather-sliders
I can't have them as they are ££££ and I'm pretty sure a 41 won't fit my huge feet anyway.

Also looking for the perfect colourful trainers that are a good fit, don't look too pointy in bigger sizes, wide but not the super-wide toe box kind that make me look like a duck, and affordable. Impossible. If I do find anything promising then the larger sizes are always gone.

Also this bag but it's no longer available and again too expensive (why do I have such expensive taste) - so I'm going to try to make one like it, but never get round to it.

My life became more ‘complete’ once I realized I don’t need a purchase to make me feel better. It was a freeing feeling

I know this is true, and I do try to remember it – I don't need a purchase but the fact is sometimes it does make me feel better...

The body I had at 21 with the clothes budget I have now….
alternatively cute T-shirts in warm spring colours which aren’t plain or twee

My life would be complete if Dior brought back Creme de Rose lip balm.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/05/2025 14:31

Thanks for the link to the Arket dress, but that style and length would be horrific on me!

sandrafarringdon66 · 10/05/2025 14:35

My life life would be complete with a million pounds more in my bank account.
Fuck you boss, neighbours, rude clients and noisy dog from next door.

Bliss.
