I obsess about buying a particular item of clothing or stuff.

Right now I'm craving this blue leather jacket (when would I ever wear a blue leather jacket?): http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... gory=52403

What clothes/stuff are you craving?

recently all the time-different styles of levi's jeans to try or American Eagle jeans that I like even though I am older than their target demographic and levi's even though someone with a certain body style wears certain styles of jeans and Van's skater type sneakers and other brands too so I can try different ones because the construction of that kind of shoe helps me keep me keep my balance and I don't skateboard and I keep thinking people are going to comment on me wearing them-I actually bought extra pairs of a certain style because I like them so much and many different styles and brands of underwear to try and nice polo shirts.

I obsess about buying Kinks inspired vintage clothing at the thrift store because that's the only place I can find them and I also obsess over buying CDs.

Your not alone. I wore these for work a few years ago before I turned to doc martens. No one asks if I skateboard. I'm a mom but it doesn't mean I can't still dress fun.

I get a bit bothered if I can't find an item of clothing that looks great - in my size. Like I sometimes think about this denim jacket I could've had from Miss Selfridge a few years ago. It had a beautiful pattern on the back, and they didn't do my size.

Yes! This makes my stomach feel all messed up. It's just wrong.

I remember seeing a couple of Planet of the Apes comics at one of the local thrift stores. At the same thrift store, I also remember seeing a nice set of Bao Ding balls.

I really want to go buy those things right now. Unfortunately, I will have to wait until either Wednesday or Thursday. Hopefully nobody else will snag those items before I do. *knocks on wood*

Were it not for the fact that nothing interesting comes in my size, I would be obsessed with clothes. Instead I'm just obsessed with books, DVDs, and certain categories of decorative objects. To stay solvent, I've trained myself to shop in thrift, discount and closeout stores, but that doesn't help with the clutter problem.

I'll have clothing fixations where I'll think something looks really cute on me and I'll want to buy 10 of them.

For the longest time, this has been V-neck, form fitted sweaters in various colours and skinny jeans.

I obsess about buying the same thing every time. Like I've worn Levi 550 jeans for as long as I can remember. I also prefer black t-shirts. The last time I shopped for new socks, the store I usually shop at stopped carrying the type I wear—I was in a panic until I found them at a different store. When I find something I like, I stick with it.

Yeah, I can get a bit obsessive over clothes. I have an obsession over shirts and socks.

Although it's a great feeling when you do discover something in your size. :D I saw this top the other day and managed to get it in my size, and I was thrilled. It looks much brighter than the photo shows, and it's a lime green colour as it says.

Does anyone here prefer tight-fitting clothes like me?

I didn't win the blue leather thing. Probably for the best. Now I'm craving one of these black denim blazers: http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/inde ... d=11875642

Only a grand. I really need a black denim blazer. It seems cosmically important.

I buy a lot of cool junk on eBay, or in thrift stores. I love finding weird little treasures. xD

I've recently developed an obsession with buying DVDs, every time I go to Walmart or the flea market I want to look at the DVDs and buy a movie. When I can't afford to do it, it kind of makes me depressed especially if I see a DVD that I would love to add to my collection.
