I bought a Windsmore coat 4 years ago, which I loved, worn it twice, numerous shoes that fitted in the shop, but I couldn't walk in, I put the shoes in a box prior to giving them to the charity shop, never missed them for two years. Yesterday I bit the bullet took the lot, together with other items that I liked when I bough them but never got to wear. I totalled up the cost of my silly buys and was horrified at how much I had wasted. I could have bought a couple of nice expensive outfits that would have been worn. What I am left with I like and have to think of my bad buys as my gift to a good cause. Think the basic wardrobe a good idea and tried it, but in my case I got bored with it and strayed.
