What Did You Resist Buying?

[maarit]

because it's too expensive

 

[tangerine]

Beautiful asymmetric long coat by Cloak. Very pirate-y.

 

[pradaesk]

green prada leather gloves (although they look nice, hmm, maybe i should... no!..yes!...no!!!.. tbc)

 

[As You Like It]

A CD called "Ozark Sheiks" by Uncle Cuckleburr's Champion Possum Carvers. But I'm going back after it tomorrow. I listened to it in a record store yesterday, and one of the songs is totally stuck in my head, and it makes me very bouncey and happy.

Yeah, really, like, can't you remember who started which threads... geez... there are only a few thousand to keep track of...

A KL for H&M black jacket.
The fabric was surprisingly nice (pure wool).
The cut was surprisingly good (very Raf)
And only 99€
The buttons were cheap tho (but easy te replace)
I didn't buy it because there were like 30 of them in the shop (and there are many H&M shops in Belgium). I'm sure that everybody and his dog will wear them.
Call me snob.

A few weeks ago when I was in England I found this quirky retro shop with a rack of vintage clothing out the back.

I found this divine white cotton skirt suit, with lace edgings, very light and casual.

I tried it on and left the store, but hours later I was still thinking about it. Unfortunately, that evening I caught my plane back to Australia, and never got a chance to go back.

So, this non-purchase wasn't necessarily an exercise of will.

Oh dear, a topic to mourn all those "why-didn´t-I-buy-it"s

here I go:


1. Dior Homme S/S 2003 shawl-collared cutaway jacket

Yes, money was an issue, it looked awesome on me and I´d totally pull it off... so sad there´s never been a jacket like this ever since ...

2. Yohji Yamamoto F/W 2002 skarf/sleeve hybrid

The most comfortable and beautiful knit I ever wore, plus one of the few designers that is actually cheaper in Japan compared to Europe. I always told myself "I´m gonna knit it by myself", but ended up being unsatisfied with every yarn I found... I should have known that Yohji´s knit is unparalleled...!

3. Dior Homme F/W 2001 black leather mao-collar shirt

I should have taken the chance when I saw it on ebay in my size... a once-in-a-lifetime-buy ... basta (without doubt one of the most amazing shirts ever designed by Hedi, though )!

4. Yohji Yamamoto F/W 2003 houndstooth blanket/skarf

...Because I always wear skarves and this one has a beautiful pattern AND is very versatile to use... I love Yohji´s skarves best .

5. Dior Homme F/W 2003 officer´s coat

money issue... more explenations?!

5. Helmut Lang F/W 2004 anthrracite metallic lace ups

I tried the bronze ones and thought they are very diffult to pull off but never considered the other options... both grey and blue are great but I´d go for the grey since most of my wardrobe is black... see helmutlang.com for pictures.

6. Helmut Lang F/W 2003 patent leather aviator boots

Nobody had them but those were so ME, I wonder if I could have afforded them?!

 

[tricotineacetat]

...seems as if it didn´t like my pictures... all from firstview BTW...

 

[AlexN]

^I want those boots!

I didn't buy (because I was outbid on all of them)...

Dior Homme f/w 04 black superlong scarf
same as above in grey
Dior Homme f/w 04 black armwarmers
Dior Homme f/w 04 distressed charcoal cords (I'm seriously mourning these)
Dior Homme s/s 05 red striped shirt
Dior Homme s/s 05 destroyed turtleneck sweater (and it was so damn cheap)
Ann Demeulemeester assymetrical white buttondown shirt w/ straps
Helmut Lang orange raw denim jeans (these were SO cheap and I still lost them )
Ann Demeulemeester black belt w/ shoulder belt
Helmut Lang gold handcuff bracelet (ahhhhhhh!!! this one was so cheap, too)

I'd still really like to have all of these items. I regret losing every one of them.
