a matthew williamson coat from years ago.. when he just started off. bought one in turquoise which is one of my most treasured pieces and left this one out.

it was multi coloured striped/belted!!!! loved it

when thinking about things we regret not buying, does it affect our future shopping habits? for example, knowing you missed a few opportunities and regret not buying an item, would you be encouraged to buy something the next time you go shopping because you know you may regret not buying it?

This pair of chinoiserie wedges from Tom Ford's last collection for YSL...
I was entranced by them when I first saw them, but I wanted to be sensible then and passed them on...even when I saw them on sale at the YSL boutique

Sort of. It's always at the back of my head that the item may be gone if I come back later, but you can't buy everything you fall in love with due to money or sheer logistical problems with carrying stuff. I'd have mountains of things if I did.

^ That is true.. would it not be plain stupid to just buy everything you want?

As then.. I would think-- you end up with a lot of junk.

I see people around with a lot of money but does not spend them on really nice items, or items that are so plain it looks like it comes from cap. Ew.

A pair of electric blue heels by RSVP. I bought them & they ACTUALLY fit me which is a rare thing to find since I wear like a size 4 US. I returned them at the time because I didnt think Id wear blue but now wish I kept them.

The Easy Spirit Tara Subkoff Frango... they went on sale & I just kept putting it off & now they have all been removed from the site.
