Buying two of the same thing

I bought a pair of boots from Clarks that were so comfortable that I got my husband to buy me another pair for Christmas.
I have 3 pairs of M&S black jersey pull-on trousers. Not too stylish but soooooooooo comfortable!!
And as for knickers I found some from M&S that are comfortable and quite sexy too so have plenty of them too in different colours (some size 16 - put away - and now size 18)

M&S stopped doing their classic t-shirts with 3/4 sleeves a couple of years ago I couldn't find them in any of their stores,last week I saw them again on their website and ordered 4 in different colours so I am sorted for the summer now.

Trouble is that too often you don’t discover that you have the perfect item until it’s too late to buy another one.

That lippy idea is such a sensible one, JaneD3 why did nobody tell me about it before!

Good lord *NotaGran53 *- more expensive than Mulberry?!
I have multiples of several things but also buy a second lipstick if I find a good one. One for the dressing table, to use when I do my face, and one for my handbag. Otherwise I spend the day with full paint and no lippy because I forget to put it on!

I buy doubles of all shoes and boots as I have difficult feet to fit and rejoice when I find something I love . I also have numerous top , cardigan and jeans doubles too and have done since I was a teenager .

On the subject of repeat handbags - I know somebody who has over 40 of the same Mulberry handbag in different colours and leathers out of her collection of over 200 . She has even more of a much higher luxury brand .

Yep, me too, but only for things I wear a lot. Sometimes it's because I know something I suit won't always be in fashion. Like the lightweight ¾ sleeve cardigan I got in M&Co last year that I bought in navy and khaki. I know nothing in that style is likely to be around this year. I also buy three white t-shirts from Bon Marché every year before they're sold out. They'll be a staple for the next 12 months. I wear the old ones in bed. I've also got a casual jacket in navy and black. This is the third navy one. Makes sense.

I occasionally buy two pair of the same shoes if they are very comfortable. Once I bought two pair of black linen trousers , unfortunately I gained some weight, but packed them away for "skinnier times". Years later, still didn't fit do I gave them away. Now I know they would fit, still in fashion, and could kick myself for giving them away!

NanKate - that's funny, my most recent double (oh, alright, quadruple) purchase was cotton t-shirts with 3/4 sleeves from MnCo's sale. It's hard to find t-shirts that are all cotton. I've never bought from there before but they had some quite nice stuff.

I have lots of shelves in lots of wardrobes NotToo
And I have lots of other handbags and shoulder bags to add to those (probably about fifteen more) bought before I got into the buying double thing.

Snap. Bought two pairs of black trousers from M and Co, wish I had bought a third pair. ?

And me. But then I often find the second purchase is not as good as the first, not such a good fit or such good fabric, for instance, and wish I'd just stuck with the first one. Or else I go off the first one and wish I had not bought another.

Lemon - TWELVE handbags in different colours? Where to you keep them all?

A few years ago I bought a really comfy pair of shoes at a retail outlet, wore them to death. If I’d known how good they were going to be I’d have bought x 2. A couple of years after their demise, I went to another branch of same the same outlet and bingo there was just one pair exactly the same, which I gladly snapped up!

Me, too! I’m such an odd size that I pounce on something that fits, plus another, while the going’s good!

Can I join the Me Too happy band? Although I only started doing this about six years ago, wish I had done it sooner!
Bought a cosy tunic top ( this is how it started) and when shopping a week or so later saw another exactly the same in my size and thought why not? Then it was jeans, then shoes and then handbags ( I have about 12 identical suede handbags, but in different colours.)

I definitely do this - accompanied by much guilt!

Yip,I do,much to my friends amusement

Yes, me too!
I have the same cardigan in three colours, the same jeans x three, the same bra x five

Oh you are making me feel MUCH better!

I once bought a very unusually shaped black denim coat and wore it until it fell off my back; many, many times I have wished I'd bought two.

Yes. I rarely find things that look vaguely OK on me.

If I do manage to find such an item, and it is a reasonable price, I buy the item in 2 or even 3 colours. I have also bought the same shoes in 2 colours.

I do this all the time. With dresses and especially shoes. I, too, have awful bunions and if I find a cute shoe in an extra-wide width I'll buy at least two pairs.

I often wish I had done it!

Ooooh me me !!

Last time I found a t shirt I liked , I bought one, loved it and went back and bought one in every colour :-)

I do it with things like sketchers too , if they’re on special offer .

They will fit DD if I change my mind!
