What are currently your own biggest shopping weaknesses ? - Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009) Discussion

[–] royharrop 15 years ago

All my life, my mother never let me wear high heels. She hates them with a passion. For the first sixteen years of my life I was never allowed to wear any.

Then I turned seventeen and got my own job, and now I have about four pairs, and I intend to buy more.

I love New look shoes, because they're cute and colourful and affordable, but I have a mad lust for Faith shoes. Theres a pair I have my eye on at the moment: a pair of black velvet heels, that you lace up with a black ribbon. (But they're £60 so I'm going to have to save up!)

Those are my principals. If you don't like them I have others.~Groucho Marx

Plus:

CDs
shoes-especially platform shoes
and clothes from H&M

My credit card is locked away in a metaphorical break-glass-in-case-of-emergency way because otherwise I may well be drowning in accessories. I have a thing about all my bags having a scarf of the same colour to pull together my winter look. And sometimes you want to wear a flotay chifo-y one, sometimes you need to bundle up in somkething warm... It's the sort of thing you can talk yourself into thinking is really sensible and necessary.

I also bought some kick-ass boots in November which cost almost a whole month of disposable income :S But they ARE an investment! They're waterproof and insulated, got to say "ha!" to my mum when the snow came down :D

I am male, so maybe I shouldn't be on this thread, but for me it'd be chewing tobacco (a pure male thing anyway).

Shoes...every time I go shopping I buy shoes...I currently own 30 pairs of shoes
I have run out of room to put all my shoes, so I had to clean out my wardrobe to find places to put them...

Shoes: especially peep-toed pumps right now...love how my feet look in them.
Handbags: I see a gorgeous bag and I'm just drawn...it haunts my dreams until I buy it.
OPI nail polish: to make my toes pretty for the peep-toed pumps.

Dresses and Tops (3-5 currently still not in use after purchase)
Shoes (especially high-heeled pumps, and wedges, and lately I like skimmers... all used immediately ;))
and because I'm a dork (and proud!), most of my money go to collectible Japanese figures.

Clothes and DVD's
I always take advantaged of the 3 for £20 deals they have in HMV and LOVE the funky t-shirts at new look. Half my wardrobe is fully of funky t-skirts.
I recently went through a plain white t-shirt obsession and bought about 5 in one shopping trip.

I'm also Converse obsessed. I've currently got about 5 pairs that I wear but have gone through at least 12 pairs in the last few years.

Bags, purses, wallets, sunglasses and watches. But mostly bags. I just love them, you carry them, put things in them. I own a lot of bags and some of them I don't even use much.

I just love love love shoes.. Im still fantasizing about a pair i saw last summer, that i didnt have enough money to buy. They were the most beautiful shoes ive ever seen.. If i only could go back in time and bring a credit card! But instead i bought another pair only 30 dollars cheaper, who also was to die for, and is now my second sexyest pair. I buy atleast 2-3 pair every month. (Maybe thats why they shut off the electricity last mounth... hehe.. )

I also like buying cheap clothes (like 50%),but i dont even bother to try on before i buy them if i dont have time or is tired, because they are so cheap. but i rarely end up wearing any of them..
