I am a super Ebay shopper! Living in a place with limited retail options and on a limited budget, this is a helpful power to have.

Meredith, I'm still scared of Etsy for anything, even throw pillows. But I'm generally a wimp. I haven't tried Uniglo yet either.

Great thread!

I can mess up my drawers/ dresser in one day after tidying it. I can lose my sunglasses multiple times in a day.

My best superpower is that my hair now looks great despite rare blow dries and infrequent product use. I thank my hairdresser for this!

Fashiontern: I actually meant Ebay, but I made a typo! I haven’t tried Etsy either. I’ve never been patient enough to figure out the search functions and filters.

I have the ability to hone in on the most expensive item in any single store or website. Every time.

Lol Sterling ME TOO! not always good for the wallet!

It is fun to read these responses!
I share Sterling and Roxanna’s superpower of being able to make a beeline for the most expensive item in a store.

Another superpower I have is to accessorize. Colleagues often ask me to help them decide upon the best accessories, show them how to tie a scarf or ask for my help editing an outfit, when they fear it has too much going on.

My superpower is to hold on to my wardrobe mistakes. I can cling onto mine years after others would let go.

What? I feel Etsy is safer than eBay!

Hair is NOT my Super Power. Hair is my Achilles Heel.

Mainelady, that’s a real Super Power, helping others...

Brooklyn, I can hardly credit this.., lol

My showy superpower is thrifting - but that is a superpower built on years of practice and attention. My true superpower, which operates beyond my control, is keeping my sleeves and cuffs uneven - first pointed out to me when I was around 8 and still noticeable today!

Oh wait, Shevia. You make me realise I have a lot of Super Powers. I can also untie my shoelaces without hands, 30 seconds after tying them in a double knot!!

My fashion Super power is the ability to find great pieces just about everytime I go shopping, AND on sale. HELP!

My wardrobe super power is not to feel an iota of regret after purged items! I am a pretty frequent and ruthless purger and I do not remember missing a single thing and wishing I'd kept it. None, nothing, nada!

Lyn D. - Absolutely! Me too. And people compliment me and ask where I got it. I think no one else wanted it. Why did it work for me?!?

I also have the total inability to figure out what will be a workhorse. I buy something sure it will be used frequently and it rarely get worn. I buy something and hold onto it for weeks (or months for Nordstrom items), finally wear it and then can't stop.

My super power is to source items from (inexpensive) unusual sources. My kryptonite is deferred gratification - I take a pass on special items, and regret the loss later when the item is no longer available.

1. I must not buy things simply because they’re cool. Ignore recent boot purchases, for which I have no outfit ideas, please.

2. I regret that I can no longer fit into my Christmas dresses, ages 1-6.

3. Do not delay until December your warm sock purchases or you will end up with Navy socks and not Grey, when you don’t wear Navy.

Tha’s right. Lol.

Rachy, you never fail to crack me up!
And fun thread.

My super power is to NOT keep things pristine. Angie travels in white...I once dropped a pen on my leg on the first wearing of A pair of white jeans.

BUT my true superpower is my ability to organize my wardrobe/closet. I think it’s the adult version of playing with paper dolls. Though I don’t like to try things on.

So I keep thinking of Angie and her whiteout eating a chili dog.

I bravely put on my best white sweater (wearing my good clothes to do errands and cook for the week). Everything went well. Then I decided to attempt to eat a chili burrito. Still feeling brave. Got a towel to put on my lap .... just in case. Decided to take off my sweater before eating the burrito. No super power here.

I also gravitate towards the most expensive item in the store. Even if it is hidden under a stack of other items. It calls my name.

No no. My red and blue plaid / puff sleeve Super Power totally cancels out any high price gravitational pull. Lololol. You realise if these two forces could be harnessed, we could invent floating cars!!!

Definitely someone needs to invent CUTE adult bibs, like with Totoro on it. I spilled coffee on the inside outside of my sleeve this morning. I should always only have black puffers...

Bringing home another scarf to my large collection when I was actually looking for something else ...

Using colours and accessories. Playing around with most items in my closet and combining old clothes in new ways. Managing to look great in clothes "inherited" from people who don't want them anymore, and items found at very reasonable prices. When people ask where I bought this or that, a common reaction when I tell them the truth is: "Really?!? You look like a million dollars." (The secret is knowing yourself--your colours, your lines, your preferences, your personality, your lifestyle--and dressing true to yourself. Great personal style is not a question of money.)

I excel at picking the most expensive items, too. I don’t buy them unless they’re deeply discounted or a need that can’t wait for a sale.

Making clothes last forever? I don't know how this is possible but many of my clothes look pristine after years of wearing. I have enough difficulties in getting rid of old clothes and this makes things even worse!

I can also eat a dish of tomato sauce spaghetti wearing a white top without getting stained.

Those are great Super Powers, Sisi.

I’m so mad. I had this green F21 sweater from years ago that I loved to death. And in walks one of my work children wearing that same sweater looking all cute! Is that right I ask?

I have a fairly substantial collection of statement jeans. It's actually kind of practical because I have wide shoulders so my tops have to be pretty plain, all the fun patterns and textures have to be on the pants and skirts.

Super Power jeans !

My wardrobe super power is the ability to obscure the Tru amount of clothing I have using the same sort of accounting trickery that brought down the global economy in 2008. Like, I generally have so many garments in various stages of the laundry process that I have no idea how much crap I have.

This has come back to bite me in the arse on more than a few occasions. I'll notice that the garments needing to be ironed are overflowing the place I stick them until I'm feeling like ironing. This will cause me to say "well, if I'm going to iron clothes, I should probably wash the dirty stuff so I only break out the ironing board once"
I'll do all the laundry, iron all the clothes... Then, when I go to put them away, I realize that there is at least three or four times as many garments than I actually have storage space to hold.

So, I have no idea how to phrase it in a succinct and catchy way, but my wardrobe superpower is the ability to delude myself and the world into thinking I have a small wardrobe that actually fits into the microscopic storage I have for it.

Ooh I feel compelled to contribute to this one. Definitely mine is the ability (and desire) to repeatedly wear the same clothes day after day. Pop psychology tells me it's because I grew up wearing school uniforms 5 days a week until I started uni - that's 12 years of deciding between a white or blue top, and a black or tan bottom ! "We are what we repeatedly do"

Hahaha! Cindysmith, that is The Number One Super Power description! I have that system too!

Alix- I like to wear the same thing every day too... but for two weeks, and then I want to a wear a different thing every day for the next two weeks... I wonder what my pop diagnosis is...

This is what my superpower isn’t. I clearly do not have Angie’s gift for keeping white shoes white. Look at my boots after their first time out.
