Go on, be honest !

Love looking at all the fabulous goodies bought by you all. I was checking my own wardrobe today and found 4 items that still have the tags on :eek:
I have 2 dresses, 1 cardi and 1 jacket that I bought but never actually wore.
Be honest ladies, do you wear everything you buy?
Do you have any items in your wardrobe with the tags still on ?

God yeah. Sometimes I resurrect them and demote them to work wear but more often that not I cannot understand why I bought them in the first instance and they end up in a charity bag. I've been much better in recent years though.

uhm no? If I buy something I nearly wear it straight away.

I used to be terrible for that, buying something in a sale because it was a 'bargain', but I just don't do it anymore. I've also given up on the idea of keeping stuff for 'good wear' - the only think I buy and keep for an unspecified occasion is shoes, I can't resist a gorgeous pair of strangely coloured high heeled shoes, and some of them only get worn a couple of times, but hey it's my little indulgence
The charity shop has done well out of me and my silly buys over the years but not anymore, everything I buygets worn to death now

I was a demon for that (still would be if I had any money). I'd buy a pile of cheap stuff off boohoo.com and just keep it all. There'd be "incentive dresses" ('oh, that'll fit when I lose 10lbs'), "work dresses" ('if I start working in a formal environment, I'll need this'), all sorts of shyte. When we emigrated, I couldn't fathom how much I had to sell or give away!

Sounds like I am not alone
I am much better than I used to be, I don't put as much 'tagged' stuff into the charity bag. It's mainly online purchases from Boohoo or Everything5pounds that I'm stuck with. It's not worth the postage to send them back. - that's how they make their money I suppose !

No you are certainly not alone with this. You know what, you name an item and I'll have something never worn out; tags off though; but worse though are the countless items that no longer fit as they're too big on me now.

No, I don't wear or even use everything I buy or have bought in the past,
You are real lucky though with just 4-items,

Yay Kerry, well done on having clothes that are too big for you. We should all make it a New Year resolution to only but things we will REALLY wear!

Just of what I know without checking I have 9 dresses 4 jackets 2 cardigans and 4 pairs of shoes 1 pair of boots an endless supply of junk jewelry and God knows what else. The worse thing about it is I still think I've nothing to wear when it comes to a night out! Mind you some of the dresses are too big for me now I should really just sell them.
