I am not old. I am not rainman. I am not
suffering from an OCD or any other psychological disorder. (That I know of). I do not lack imagination. Why then - do I find myself buying more than one of the same item of clothing. (In an attempt to emulate Smurfette? I hope not.)An example of this bizarre behavior would be that I recently bought a pair of Josef Seibel shoes. They are really very nice. Cute and stylish and a lovely green colour. They are comfortable. Yes. Very. So much so that I went on line and ordered two additional pairs. I attempted to order the green again but they were out of my size, so I ended up with lilac and another pair of black ones
(these I am very excited about and already wishing I had bought more than one pair). I will also admit that I bought another pair in a different style - but not too different - just in leather instead of suede. I'm guilty of gluttony perhaps. But look how cute...This is not the first time I have done this. I have done this with pants, shirts, running shoes, underwear and bras. I get the underwear and bra part - how often do you find comfy undergarments that also look rather nice? (Thank you Victoria Secret) But the rest - might just be indicative of a deeper issue.
The only thing I can figure is that in my old age I will be one of those old ladies with 25 dresses in several colours but the same style and I will always eat oatmeal for breakfast. Except on Sundays - when I will be allowed a soft boiled egg. What a life.
But at least I know I'll like my shoes. More than likely I'll still be wearing these ones ...
If anyone wants to order these shoes, click here.... oh shit I just found the pink. I need the pink. I gotta have the pink...

its not crazy, its just good sence! I one bough a pair of jeans that fit me so perfectly. they made everything that needed to look bigger, bigger and everything that needed to look smaller, smaller. and they were only 30$ on sale.
Ive since worn said pair of jeans out and to this day I regret not buying the second pair.
Dont live your life in regret! get the pink ones!
Not crazy at all. Several years ago I went to purchase new glasses. After trying on a couple of dozen pairs, I settled on one that I really liked and told the clerk I would take them. She responded that they were exactly the same Giorgio Armani pair that I was already wearing.
I honestly had no idea. They weren't bent and smudged like mine.
Bought 'em! As well as another pair, same style with tinted glass.
So there!
Thank you boys - my guilt is dissipating. (And George - I am so ordering the pink!)
when the talk turns to shoes, that's usually when i punch out ... :)
Well I can't help it - my Great Aunt Imelda told me it's genetic.
wv - chuvullt (Sounds like a Jewish holiday)
I have the opposite problem.
I can only ever buy one
so I have to pick the 'perfect'
colour in that style
and then look for a different
colour in a different style.
Now that is compulsive.
I torture myself with the not
getting 2 of the same.
I think I shall learn from you Liz.
Next time I'm buying...
IT'S ONE IN EVERY COLOUR! (think George Costanza talking here)
Ps Yes, you MUST get the pink
Yes. Musn't I though?
You've all been so very supportive.... (I'm getting all teary eyed) Off I go to get the pink...
