Want but can't has thread

I really want a poncho

You should get one

I'm wearing a poncho right now and it's all lovely and warm

 

[existentialist]

It's so rare that I ever want anything, clothes-wise, but...these.

A pair of AltBerg boots. £160 , but I bought a damaged pair for next to nothing on eBay and they're wonderfully comfortable, supportive, and just make you want to walk.

tiny jacket, whopping price tag - even at 50% off I can't justify it. But it's lovely. Real leather and real shearling and I want it. but can't haz it.

I really want a poncho

I really recommend getting one!

 

[moody]

Paul Smith.

I could probably afford this but I fear there would be a lack of opportunities to wear it.....

I've always wanted a pukka Paul Smith suit moody. Never quite had the dosh though. They sometimes pop up second hand on EBay at prices that don't require a second mortgage but you've usually got to be poised over the buy button right at the end of the auction.

Oh that really ain't bad at all. Never been into just having the jacket mind. If I'm going smart I go for the full suit.

tempted?

never thought I'd say it but ted baker do the odd nice bit of clobber, especially liking their wool slacks.

 

[Voley]

Nah. Gotta have the trousers too.

I used to hate Ted Baker. Lots of stuff came in really naff cheap looking fabrics. In the last few years though I think it's all changed. I've bought a couple of silk dresses and a fabulous pair of gold glitter shoes with leather soles and lining.

I want all the things I need to do to be done already.

if things were that easy, then life would be a bit dull?

This is an odd one for this thread but I really want bright red hair again. If I could please myself I'd dye it tomorrow but I work in a hairdressers that are a bit fussy about my hair. I get my hair coloured for free but the colour technician won't want to have to colour it every 3 weeks. I could do it myself but my boss would go mad. pppffff...

But but but but surely if you explain it like that they'll 'let' you do it ? Would there be a sweetener thing you could do, like letting the trainee do it every other time or something ?

I want one of those really good cameras, like a Nikon Df, but they're ridiculously overpriced. They're the computerized toys of rich people.

Maybe in a couple of years, there'll be new 'best cameras', and those people will sell their other best cameras used on Amazon.

I might have a word with the boss. Our apprentice is always looking for colour models. If I have it red though she may insist that I get it cut as part of the deal. I'm trying to grow it down to my shoulders and that's another thing the boss doesn't like, she thinks I should have short hair. To be fair to her, I don't have great hair and it always looks better cut short but I don't like short hair
What I really need to do is retire from paid work and just please myself if only I could afford to

I'd like a good camera too but I'd need lessons on using it if I ever got one.

I am looking at used FF Nikons at the moment. Some are quite good value.

I got one of these now, managed to ebay one for under £30, perfect condition but shoulder pads little to big for my liking as I am skinny and they look a bit odd, IMO
