What do you buy too many of?

I was cleaning my wardrobe out and realised just how many coats/jackets I had! I have too many. I have like 3 formal black coats, 2 red, a white, a beige and 2 casual black jackets. Yet I'm always seeing nice coats or jackets and thinking "oooh, I like that, I should buy it". I've seen three in the last week.

I also have probably too many shoes. And I know I have too many cats!

I have lots of coats and jackets too, but I'm in Melbourne and I feel the cold so I figure they're worth it. I have navy, dark purple, white and duck egg blue woollen coats, grey and blue trench coats, a couple of puffer jackets, a leather jacket and then things like a ski jacket etc.

Clothes I can't wear to work - and I don't even have to dress corporate for work - but like dresses with cats or possums or sushi on them, and tracksuit pants that are too warm to work out in so they're literally just for lounging around. I should force myself to only buy practical clothes.....but I don't.

Handbags are one thing I can't shop for. I use one handbag till it's almost dead then go buy another. I hate to handbag shop and I also don't like swapping handbags over.

Handbags...I have over 40 at last count...I like to colour coordinate them with my ridiculously extensive vintage dress collection (currently at around 100 frocks).

Yes I know, I have a problem, but dressing up every day makes my heart just sing with joy ❤

Any photos? Please. I have emojis switched off but I feel like using “excited” emoji in this case!

Socks. I love silly socks. The rest of me is drab. 

Same! I have so many socks. Even though I wear sporty ones to work out and tights with work clothes sooooo I don't even really need a single pair.

Dresses. I just bought 3 today at the op shop. I wear pants g jeans a lot but I just can't resist buying dresses. 

(I actually bought 4 but one was for a friend's 19 year old daughter, I couldn't resist a printed silk Leona Edminston dress for $15 but it's too tiny for me!)

Hello, my name is Bec and I'm also a yarn addict.  Sorted out all my yarn a few weeks ago.  It was in places all over the house and I have put it all together in one storage container.  Storage container was only 3/4 full so decided that was a good sign to buy more yarn.  I keep finding more and more that I had stashed in various places around the house so now I have a very large tub of yarn that is chock full plus a second pile of yarn that doesn't fit into the tub.  And then BWM bring out a new limited release ......

Coloured pencils, but I use them in my art. I have over 400. 

Bikes, between my DH and I at one time we had 7 bikes. 

We have reduced that down and only have 4 bikes ( two tandems) between us and DS also has a bike and a trailabike.

Canned food. I always think I've used more in the week than I have, then I get home from the shops and realise I've got 10 cans of chickpeas or something.

Makeup/skincare - I purchase thinking I will use and 99% of the time don’t bother putting on ANY makeup (even lip gloss).

@Lurker is it possible to wear your interesting prints to work. I adore Review Dresses and wear bright colours and prints to work. I may be out of place with half of the people wearing Jeans and T, but it makes me happy.

Haha I buy too much make up too! Given I only wear it about once a month. But God damn it if I don't look hawt when I do. 

I do wear colourful prints to work; I just feel like my dress with the possums on it isn't necessarily the best way to be taken seriously. Maybe I should get a more animal focused job? But then I'd get dirty, and I loathe getting dirty.

Further to the above. I like to think that I am saving my money in case DD needs a private school for high school. But in all likelihood we wouldn't be able to afford it anyway!

Books and now ebooks, I am a shocker. But now I am learning to read the free sample first to check if I like it.

I also like clothes shopping for DS, particularly when he was a baby, I loved buying brightly coloured outfits for him.

Mum buys too many handbags, I have benefited from this throughout the years!
