Once I started looking for them in thrift stores, I realized how many have been discarded.

Unfortunately, I really don't have a dress-wearing lifestyle, but at least I've been trying to buy more "day dresses" or casual styles. Summer is easier, as a flowy dress can be less dressy. Oh, and shoes and handbags. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-item-can-you-not-stop-buying#post-619026 Sun, 13 May 2012 22:05:22 +0000 teeandcee 619026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to know I'm not the only one. I've gotten some good laughs at the responses here. </p> <p>LeahJanes, now that's funny! At least I can wear my white shirts pretty often.</p> <p>Coco, sorry, no recommendations from me. I have white shirts in all styles and brands so really don't have a favorite. As long as it's white, that is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-item-can-you-not-stop-buying#post-619009 Sun, 13 May 2012 21:18:58 +0000 Kelley 619009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boots. I love boots and I just can't ever stop looking. Especially cowboy boots. </p> <p>But the other obsession? Cardigans. I ALWAYS look for cardigans, year round. I'm especially drawn to the shorter, 3/4 sleeve ones and probably have 20, in every color, in my closet right now. Good thing I enjoy wearing them as much as I love shopping for them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-item-can-you-not-stop-buying#post-618947 Sun, 13 May 2012 19:44:32 +0000 Kiwichik 618947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black trousers </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-item-can-you-not-stop-buying#post-618941 Sun, 13 May 2012 19:26:42 +0000 CocoLion 618941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I completely understand the white shirt attraction! I own many myself but that is because I wear them all and they are worn HARD. As in, I wear them working as a server, they get stained etc. Every 2 weeks I spend an hour ironing them all. So my white shirts reflect a true clothing need. For work, they have to be inexpensive and iron-free, which still means they require *some* ironing. Costco makes my favorites, then Jones NY. Do you have any other recommendations?</p> <p>As for the non-needs, the wants: wedge or chunky cork sandals, and denim. Plus now I find myself constantly inspecting clutches. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-item-can-you-not-stop-buying#post-618936 Sun, 13 May 2012 19:16:20 +0000 Anonymous 618936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boots and it is really getting out of control. I need to find something else to obsess about. I'm leaning towards dresses, specifically shirtdresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-item-can-you-not-stop-buying#post-618930 Sun, 13 May 2012 19:11:14 +0000 Jjsloane 618930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>white shirts year round (who can't use them?) and boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-item-can-you-not-stop-buying#post-618879 Sun, 13 May 2012 18:10:55 +0000 goldenpig 618879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last fall/winter, it was coats and skinny jeans. Now, it's dresses (I especially adore patterned dresses). I have enough to wear for an entire month without repeating, but it doesn't stop me from wanting more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-item-can-you-not-stop-buying#post-618878 Sun, 13 May 2012 18:10:07 +0000 christieanne 618878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a lot of black sweaters and tops as well but really it is scarves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-item-can-you-not-stop-buying#post-618876 Sun, 13 May 2012 18:06:05 +0000 velvetychocolate 618876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is terrible, but I cannot stop buying black sweaters! I don't do this in late spring or during the summer, but the rest of the year, I end up with an ever-increasing number of black sweaters. Turtlenecks, v-necks, wrap sweaters, cardigans etc. I need to get out of this rut :)</p> <p>Meanwhile, at this time of year and throughout most of the summer, I buy way too many shoes and sandals. Here - I need to be pickier and buy only the really good shoes, instead of snapping up sandals and summer shoes just because they're on sale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-item-can-you-not-stop-buying#post-618846 Sun, 13 May 2012 17:16:25 +0000 annagybe 618846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From my weekend in San Francisco, short shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-item-can-you-not-stop-buying#post-618845 Sun, 13 May 2012 17:13:34 +0000 Mo 618845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I go in runs. Years back it was floral dresses. Then cropped blazers. Last year or two it seemed fancy tank tops (not the basic ribbed underlayer type) were all I could look for. Not sure right now - I think I'm actually evening out to fill holes. Wow - what a wonderful thing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-item-can-you-not-stop-buying#post-618838 Sun, 13 May 2012 16:51:44 +0000 Donna 618838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Same as Shannon, shoes and jackets.

I think I have more pairs of boots than all other shoes put together. And I still want more.</p> <p>And yarn for knitting. It needs to be knit into clothing before it can be worn, and I definitely acquire it at a rate that far exceeds the rate at which I can knit it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-item-can-you-not-stop-buying#post-618769 Sun, 13 May 2012 15:16:49 +0000 LeahJanes 618769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cocktail dresses and formal gowns. They're so pretty and very easy to thrift so I have more than I could ever wear. That and I maybe attend a glitzy event once a year, they never get worn. I wish I was addicted to denim jackets or something more useful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-item-can-you-not-stop-buying#post-618764 Sun, 13 May 2012 15:06:52 +0000 Janet 618764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This will come as no surprise, but I have a hard time turning down a fab jacket, pair of boots, or sandals. Too bad its not something inexpensive like socks. Good thing I get a lot of use out of all of them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-item-can-you-not-stop-buying#post-618705 Sun, 13 May 2012 13:45:06 +0000 nancylee 618705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scarves! I own a ton already, but they are such an easy pick-me-up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-item-can-you-not-stop-buying#post-618703 Sun, 13 May 2012 13:41:50 +0000 Vildy 618703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only one??? It was coats but I feel I do have enough coats of every "stripe" and I've<br /> soured on trenches, so I try to avoid those now, too. Though at the thrift store where I shop, they keep leading me practically by the hand to animal print toppers and I have<br /> succumbed twice now. </p> <p>I also have a weakness for blazers/third pieces and swear I won't get any more (and<br /> do purge what I have) but I can't resist looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-item-can-you-not-stop-buying#post-618699 Sun, 13 May 2012 13:36:24 +0000 Anonymous 618699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black slacks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-item-can-you-not-stop-buying#post-618697 Sun, 13 May 2012 13:33:30 +0000 Anonymous 618697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute workout clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-item-can-you-not-stop-buying#post-618694 Sun, 13 May 2012 13:28:19 +0000 Meredith1953 618694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have sort of fallen love with faux leather jackets. I went frim originally owning a gray one to recently adding a cognac one and a red one. Now I found a navy one and a dark bark colored one so in a week or so I will own 5! I guess I just like jackets a whole lot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-item-can-you-not-stop-buying#post-618689 Sun, 13 May 2012 12:57:54 +0000 teeandcee 618689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me it's white shirts. I don't know why. I have several white shirts and still head directly to the white shirts when I'm shopping and have to force myself to walk away. I love color too, but I'm like a school girl with a crush when white shirts are within range. Lots of infatuated sighing on my part. </p>
