Wow, so many responses!
Mo, have you tried French brands? Chantelle is very, very nice. It's also quite expensive, but if you don't have a too small band-size it could work for you. What's your problem with your bras, exactly?
Gaylene, I LOVE books too, as objects (also for reading purposes, of course). And I like antique editions. Glad to see I'm not the only one into pretty lingerie!
Fieldmouse, I'm not broke -yet. And I used to hate grey clothing but as of lately, not so much. It's a pretty useful neutral when paired with other colors!
Dustt, why, sweaters are comfy and cozy, it's no wonder you stock up on those. I do that, too, even though we only get about 3-4 cold months.
Laurie, cashmere is soooo soft and glamorous! It does make one feel more special, doesn't it? Just move somewhere colder so you can enjoy your clothes. Just kidding! Or maybe not?
Ruth, I'm lucky I don't really like cooking! And I am often tempted by items on sale, although I am learning from my past mistakes, too.
Alaskagirl, beautiful notebooks are one of my most stupid weaknesses. Specially since I have awful handwriting, so I don't like to stain their beautiful pages with my writing. Duh. I also have this dream about writing my first novel on a beautiful journal. Right. Keep dreaming.
Dianthus, collecting beautiful things is not bad as long as you have space for them! And I hear you on the too full drawer. Happening to me right now, although I could get rid of a few old items...
Lyn*, if there is someone who can't have too many dresses, that would be you!!
Gigi, thanks for your concern! I don't think I have a problem with my sexiness. I think I just buy those bras because I still feel like the opportunity to buy bras will disappear soon, so I *have* to stock up. But I'm not doing that again. Promise! And I have many, many shoes too. That's my other obsession.
DonnaF, I have an obscure size too. Actually, I have a 28 bandsize, which is almost impossible to find in stores. I think I just have found a bra brand that, in a specific style, works for me in a 30 bandsize (and they sell them in different patterns and fabrics). I will not lie, they are not the best quality out there, and they could fit me better, but I'll make do with them. They fit well enough. I have had good luck with other brands like Penache or Fantasie in the past, but they were expensive and guess what, I have changed sizes twice in the last four years so even though they are still in great condition, they don't fit me anymore! I can't find +D cup lingerie in this country of mine unless it's in that store, and I refuse to buy online, especially bras.
Happy, yes, you can have too many earrings. I know I do. You'll know when you have a box full of earrings you never wear while you always reach for the same two favorite pairs. I have many coats, but I don't think I have too many yet! (Cute nickname, btw!)
Carter, I can see a signature style going on there. Maybe you are the woman with a rainbow of shirts. It doesn't sound like a bad thing to me!
AnnieMouse, I think it's understandable that you would be excited to 'finish puberty' and get 'proper' bras. I know I went a bit bananas when I lost a good amount of weight and had to buy an entire new wardrobe.
Vildy, do you wear all your blazers? Because if you do -and they are cheap, and you can afford them-, I think it's not so bad that you are buying so many.
Deb, I don't know. Why do you? Hahah
Aquamarine, I stopped searching for the perfect pair of jeans. i have assumed they do not exist -for me. Although my last purchases are alright. But I still want to take them off as soon as I hit home...
Gabrielle, black pants do provide a good background for other statement pieces. Do you wear memorable tops too? It's strange that colleagues notice your black pants more than bright, sparkly or patterned items.
Ramya, you got SEVEN bags as presents? Do you like any of those? Are they practical for you? Bags and wallets are one of those things I much rather buy myself. They have to be really practical and fit my needs, otherwise I don't use them...
Ornella and Krista, scarves my mom. And me. But it's my mom's fault.
Tanya, are you into patterned jeans? Bet you love those!
Disha, me too. About the bras AND the jeans. I don't try on jeans as of lately though, just to avoid the urge if I find a good enough pair.
Donna F, nail polish can add a little something to any outfit. I have a friend who owns a lot of items in teal, so she got teal nail polish too. It looks very cute!
