who hear collects nickers???
i am really quite worried i have realised EVERY time i go shopping i have to by a pair
oh dear
please tell me i am not alone!

if NT women can individually buy enough shoes to shod all of ethiopia, then why cant you buy tons of knickers?... just cos ita underwear doesnt make it a naughty thing, its just an obsession like anything else.... jus dont share it with guys you know

With me, it was jumpers... I managed to stop that though. I was always hunting for new, bright jumpers, I am majorly into stripes right now. But I am back to not caring much about how I look.

I've never had that obsession myself. With clothes, that is. I prefer my clothes to be presentable and functional.

I am extremely trendy when it comes to clothing. I always have to have the lastest thing and I can predict styles for the next two years! Right now, I'd say I probably have about 470 outfits. And I'm actually doing this little project where I take a picture and list all of the clothes I have bought so far this year and when and wear I've bought them. Apparently, I've already bought nineteen pieces of clothing! Anyway, I just love sundresses! If I could, I'd wear them all year! And sometimes I do, with leggings or jeans underneath. But mainly I just like wearing them with sandals. I only have about nine sundresses though. They're fairly hard to find once you hit size 14/16 in girls.

I used to buy a lot of clothes until I learned about the clothing industry. I realized that by buying a lot of clothes I was fueling what is close to a slave labor market. I know how to sew and have sewn just about every type of garment except men's pants (but I've sewn women's pants). It's not easy work. Whenever I see clothes in a store I wonder about the person who made them. I look at the stitches and construction to gauge how stressed or overworked they might have been. At this point I am having trouble buying new clothes in good conscious. I have held onto clothes that are years old and have holes. My shoes are in tatters and split along the soles. I don't want to fuel the system anymore.

Apatura - the community i belong to either make our own, or when we have no need for an item, or someone donates it we put it into a free 'clothing store' where anyone who has need can get what they need clothes wise

I collect socks......but i do not like acrylic socks.

I love buying knickers and bras, especially ones that match.

I do this with socks, I have two large drawers full of socks, a lot of which i will never wear as they feel 'wrong'.
Don't worry to much, every gal needs a good collection of knickers!

Mine are all exactly the same and black. I was really peeved cos marks and sparks have replaced their standard black cotton briefs for a new substandard version, cheaper cotton and thin badly stitched elastic!!
My sister bought me a spotty hipster pair I can barely cope with the idea of them, too different to what I'm used to!
Anyway theres nought wrong with loads of pants its a useful collection!

Oh yes and I admire anyone who can tolerate wearing different types and colours of pants, I wish I could wear lace or white or thongs or french knickers but it ain't gonna happen!! It has to be soft cotton, one style!

i lasted sooo long and today i gave in and brought 5
seriously this is an obsession
