Does anyone else buy things they love but know they will never wear.

I really want this

but I rarely wear jewellery. but it's so pretty

I have at least 5 pairs of shoes bought but never worn and found 2 tops that I bought 5 years ago and have never worn

Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this....

why don't you wear jewellery? i always have same rings, change earrings bracelets and soemtimes necklace according to outfit.

that cuff does look a bit painful though with the choppy edge, only for wafting around in.

no i don't buy things i know i won't wear. if i am at all unsure i don't take tags off and am very good about returning stuff.

sometimes it does take me a while to work out what to put a new garment with but i usually wear it in the end.

Shoes. Big heeled ones.

I have a fabulous pair of boots that I bought, fell in love with, and wore once because they are too high Same with a pair of green shoes I rarely wear - they just never seem compatible with toddlers

Dresses.

For the lifestyle I don't have....

I have started to force myself to wear them to work, although I worry that I look like I'm making too much of an effort

Yes, dresses and skirts...I AM a trouser person, I should just accept this fact and stop looking at/buying dresses or 'girly' things - not girly at all.....

oh yes there are two pairs of high heeled shoes. but i am waiting for the occasion rather than never going to wear them of course.

thank you all for making me feel a little less freakish even if I didn't confess the true extent of my buying but not wearing....

fishie I do wear a necklace usually but I am not really a jewellery person, I don't even wear my wedding/engagement rings.

Oh yes, skirts. Because I want to be somebody who wears skirts but somehow am just not.

I need to buy more accessories, then wear them.

Am I deluding myself that if I bought stuff would wear it? Does my lack of accessorising reflect my lack of actually owning anything, or does it mean I'm just not an accessorisy person?

Why aren't you wearing your running kit

hmm I would say people that wear skirts are people who tend to acessorise more (how's that for a generalisation). Why don't you buy a few cheap pieces from accessorise and if you do wear them then splash out on something more fancy?

I am going to wear a skirt today too!
(Shameful admission: the reason I don't often is because of my ungroomed legs )

I will be wearing my skirt after I wear my running kit Libras

This is why I have to have a running thread, so I will get nicely nagged elsewhere on the board

Oooh, and I'll shave my legs too, thanks for reminding me boogeek.

I have a very nice size 10 wardrobe, which I add to constantly....and a not so nice size 14 body, which I am struggling to reduce.

I buy for the woman I wish I was, not the woman I am. Tons of impulse buys to prove it!

I'm curvy on top so would seem to be the ideal 'Nigella cardi' type yet my wardrobe is rammed with little cardies I have bought and never worn.

I want to be Nigella/ Kirstie Allsop, but in reality I'm just myself aged 19 but have grown mysteriously older. ie still wearing jeans every day becuase I simply don't know how not to be that person.

They're nice jeans, but still. Roll on the summer, when I wear denim skirts every day

... I have a friend who wears planned outfits every day: dresses, skirts, floaty tops, chunky belts, boots, high heels, you name it.

I live in awe of her but would simply not know where to start. I suppose I can't really be arsed!

I have 50 pairs of tights. I wear dresses/skirts 4-5 times a year. ffs.

(doing post pregancy clean-out hence the sudden realisation of never worn clothes...)

higgle, I think this is my problem my weight fluctuates between size 12-16 so I have clothes for all sizes, a lot of duplication.

morriszap I have a lovely denim skirt which I bought 3 years ago and haven't yet dropped enough weight since then to get into it. This summer crosses fingers.

Libra, knee length denim skirts go for about a fiver on ebay. There are millions on there. Buy one you can wear now, and enjoy baring your legs this summer!

I'm a solid size 14 and I wear mine from May to September. Looks great, if I say it myself!

yeah I'm not sure the world deserves having my legs bared to them that's the problem thanks for the tip tho.
