(By now you know the drill)
Before the post comes the shoes of the day;

| Shoes - New Look |

| Again a year old and have been seen on the blog before. |
Now back to:
"You Try, You Buy!"
Question 1
Do you end up buying everything you try on?
Question 2
Are you a must but it right now?
Question 3
Or do you walk away until you are convinced that's the item you want?
Question 4
Or are you a buy, retry, regret and take backer?
I would say that I am more a number 3 nowadays but can still be a number 4 on occasion.
Everything I buy I try to envision in my wardrobe amongst my mix and match attire.
That wasn't always the case, I would have a new outfit for every occasion, the pub, meal,shopping. Crazy but true! Now I have realised the bank balance will not allow it, even for my shoe habbit1 (Darn it!) But I have bills to pay and they must take priority.
What I do enjoy though is window shopping. Getting ideas as to what goes together and what is on trend. Then I can use what I have already in my wardrobe and with a bit of luck recreate them.
Saves a few pennies I can tell you!
I still have my wish list, as many of you do and here are a few items I have been lusting after;
 |
| Dorothy Perkins Shrug |
I can see this teaming lovely with my skinning jeans and a plain vest top.
 |
| ASOS powertrip suede toe and perspex heel shoe |
 |
| River Island denim skirt |
So please, share with me your shopping habits the perhaps I won't feel quite so bad!

That river island skirt is very cute - I wish I could sew too.
ReplyDeleteHmm I am part of all 4 questions depending on the item. I do buy and regret and take back and sometimes I don't buy I regret and its sold out! lol
ReplyDeleteLove those New Look shoes BTW x
Hi my dear!! Thats the beauty for me of charity shopping and boot sales, I can buy what I like and still have change from a fiver or tenner, lol!! I rarely do high street shopping,I prefer a good rummage for pennies xxx
ReplyDeleteHelen - I really need to learn to sew too.
ReplyDeleteSharon - I am getting much better and have found ome fantastic finds in local charity shops. Still not quite up to your standard yet mind.

I think I am a number 3 but sometimes fall into number 4 ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove the shoe with the glassy heel reminds me so much of prada

Sorry about the blisters- hope your feet heel up real soon!
ReplyDeleteSince I thrift shop more than I shop for new clothes you kinda have to think on your feet while shopping. So I throw in my cart and then get cut-throat and weed out before check out.
But those pumps on your wishlist- I would buy in a heart beat.

ReplyDeleteThe blister pics are a lot like mine after a jaunt in heels!

All 4? I'll try on most things in store, except for stuff like vest tops and jeans from shops where I know they'll always fit. I do retry them on at home though and if I'm not happy then they go back - can't stand the guilt of having something in my wardrobe that I never wear! I tend to buy things when I see them as long as I know I can afford them and actually need them. If it's a bigger or more frivolous purchase then I'll often go away and have a think about it.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely a mixture! I often regret that things I really liked are not there when I go back! But sometimes I buy impulsively and regret. But regardless of which one I am, I still have still far tooooo many clothes!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the comments. They make me feel much better about my own shopping habits!
ReplyDeleteI do try toget as much from charity shops but just can't resist the odd new lovely item.
