My obsessions...

UvaGirl · 02-09-2005, 06:45 PM

I have just returned from my lunchbreak, during which I purchased a black tshirt. My second black tshirt this week, to be precise. I'm currently obsessed with finding the perfect tshirt. Preferably in black, but white will do too.

My secondary obsession would be nice underwear, particulary matching sets. Underwear didn't used to be an obesession of mine, but in recent years it's become more so. I. must. stop. I. have.enough.

Any other clothing obsessions out there?

Lordy, I'm going to sound shallow! and I'm not!

Shoes~ I labsolutely swoon my socks off (literally!) for lovely and beautiful shoes! Pricey shoes, discount shoes. This girl doesn't discriminate!

I'm a hopeless sucker for shoes, especially stillettos & ballet flats. I'm living in ballet flats these days! I have some beautiful Manolo Blahniks, and I've already picked out my Jimmy Choos. Now I just have to get them!

Blue Jeans~ I absolutely love 'em! I have way too many pairs (or is it you can never have enough pairs?

) I have three pairs by Paper, Denim & Cloth, two pairs of Seven For All Mankind, Citizens Of Humanity, Joe's Jeans, 3 pairs of Juicy Couture, 2 pairs of Blue Cult, two pairs of Earls, Buffalo Jeans, Dolce & Gabbana..it just goes on and on! I only listed the ones off of the top of my head. I'd scare everybody if I did closet inventory. I just live in blue jeans, though! I'm forever donating and rebuying. Obsessed? You bet. So much so I can't stop thinking about True Religions.

Why is it I feel so awful after posting this? I never share my spending habits for fear of being judged.

Don't feel bad about your blue jean obsession - I understand!

Aww! Thank you so much UvaGirl for cheering me up!

And thank you, too BarTopDancer! Hugs to you both! I feel a shoppin' meet upon us..

I was going through some shopping bags the other day that I have yet to unpack! ( I am so lazy about hanging up clothes.

) I came across two more pairs of Seven For All Mankind jeans that I had totally forgotten about buying.

Hi, my name is Ally & I'm addicted to all things denim.

Ooh! And I love delicate, satin and lacy camisoles in all of Spring's hottest shades! Vibrant salmon pinks, lemon yellows, beachy corals, lapis blues! I am such a sucker for all of the little bows & ruffles!

Hmmm...if we do end up moving to London I'm going to be at the mercy of so many more obsessions, I can just feel it. A whole new shopping world will open up before me ~ Harvey Nichols, Space NK, Selfridges....what's a girl to do?!

I used to be obsessed with a particular color. All manners of shades of blue-gray. For a while, every shirt I bought was some shade of blue-gray. My closet was beginning to look like it was coated in clay. We started calling the color "Grayg". It was bad. I've thankfully gotten beyond that.

Cadaverous Pallor · 02-10-2005, 03:54 PM

Ew, Grayg! Ew ew ew.

I have bought so many freakin' striped shirts in the past year. I have 2 in blue tones, one in browns, one in green/black, one in pink/white. And this doesn't even count the tons of striped shirts I tried on. I look good in them, they're in stores now, so I totally stocked up!

I've stopped myself now - I think I've hit the limit. I realized I looked like an episode of What Not To Wear. I could hear Stacy and Clinton saying "What is it with her and the striped shirts? Put it down and try something else!!"

Matterhorn Fan · 02-10-2005, 05:30 PM

THIS is my favorite shirt. T-shirt.

I want more of them.

Many moons ago when I was teaching, I wore navy blue, khaki, white, black and grey.....and that was IT. I had like 75 grey shirts. I could wear a different grey tee every days for months....never wear the same one twice. It was weird!!! My husband and I would walk in a store, and he KNEW exactly which racks I was heading for. I remember when I added red to my repertoire I thought he was going to have a coronary.

I have a collection of jackets......I buy a lot of coats every season.....a lot. I bought this amazing Calvin Klein puffy down coat with a fur hood just before Christmas (just after buying a dark brown suede at Banana Republic and a Gap denim and a Gap baseball style)....and I haven't worn it in a month because I got home from Disneyland and bought myself a quilted black Ralph Lauren coat that I love. I've had my eye on several other quilted jackets and a pea coat lately....and a pink suede. Just waiting for the sales.

And scarves. I could tie them end to end and they'd stretch across the Golden Gate.......
