Want but can't has thread

[Clair De Lune]

requited love

got more than enough 'stuff'

 

[boohoo]

fees for living and uni to do an MA... but am having a baby instead...

No picture coz they're not for sale online. Womens Premiata ankle boots as seen in their shop in Milan. They have a real stack leather heel (not the veneer that you get on most heels). Which probably explains the 500 euro price tag.
I like Marsell as well - another Italian brand (oft. copied by All Saints design team. But 700 euros for boots. That's the price when you pay factory workers a living wage.

Want: my car to work every time I need it, instead of spending most of its time with the mechanic Neeed to fix up, sell and replace.

 

[DrRingDing]

It will last many many years mind.

Hope so. My Alpine Lowe sac that cost me £100 got worringly scuffed and scraped by the gabbro on Skye last month.

In what way are those worth the extra decimal place over normal leathers? I got an excellent bike jacket for £70 off Amazon, fully armoured etc (Australian Bikers Gear).

I'm not going to buy these shoes, because they're £100 and that's too much:

£100 isn't that much for shoes - they will be decent quality and probably last for years with a few trips to the cobbler.

I accidentally £200 on my boots....they are well worth it though - really sturdy,after wearing through several pairs of not particularly cheap ones (£70-£100) in under a year I figured it was worth it.

I want a smartphone, I've never had one - thing is I'm happy with my current month-to-month PAYG contract so I'd have to stump up £400 for any of the ones I actually want...can't justify spending more on my phone than I did on my laptop, I mean ffs!

I want a new Addidas top as well, but all the ones I like are only available online and are like £60-70, so I won't be getting one for the time being.

Much of the sartorial wants but can't haves are where I've bought an item of clothing and loved it, but not been able to find it again when I go looking.

I can't think of one single thing that I want I've been poor for so long I've trained myself out of wanting material things.

Oh, apart from one of these, but the longing will dissipate.

Is that remote control? Awesome!

Can you get that in Unicorn?

Isn't it so awesome you could weep?

Oi! I'm talking clothes here (not you, spawn). I thought the forum might be a clue.

 

[quimcunx]

New posts innit! checking by forum is for lossers.

 

[shakespearegirl]

View attachment 13938

It was on ebay for £200 and now it's relisted for £384.

I've nothing to put in it.

That is sooo pretty, I want

£195 for a bathrobe

I seem to recall you posting about this before. You need to just buy it.

 

[spawnofsatan]

I'd wear that as a smoking jacket.

 

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

Just saw New Look has free international delivery and found these lovely shoes in the sale. Got all excited and then saw they don't deliver to China.

My feet are too big to buy women's shoes in China too.

So, post your sartorial dreams here!

WANT this All Saints coat:

Not has £400 spare....

Went into an All Saints shop recently, I want everything in there. It's very, very rare for me to find a shop that does that.

I'm the opposite, I don't like any of their stuff (for me)

all looks like it's clothes for skinny people

 

[geminisnake]

I think I like that!! Would like to see it in real life though, I'm seeing long boots and tight black trousers to go with it too. Goodness, better stop now!!

Having just had a quick look at All Saints stuff I think I'm with Biddly on this!

I probably wouldn't fit in any of it, I have no money either.

*cries*

The price is a joke though and I already have a black floor length Duster style coat

A thali. Not some crappy Anglicised nonsense where a selection of formula curries are served in pristine steel bowls around a tiny bowl of rice, but a proper South Indian "meals ready" blowout.

E2A - Oh, this is meant to be about clothes. That's the perils of new threads. I suppose if I had the cash I'd like to buy jeans and shirts and boots in bulk, a hundred or so at a time, so they always look pristine and never have to be washed or ironed.

 

[lizzieloo]

I like the detail on their coats

Mind you all coats might look like that now, I've only been near charity shops recently.

 

[dessiato]

Either this, at 539$, Porsche messenger bag

or this, Porsche Urban bag at 449$

I can afford the second, but no one will deliver to Sudan.

 

[Biddlybee]

@lizzieloo That is pretty

 

[moose]

These, on the grounds of cost ($399 + p&p) and leg circumference:

and this:

 

[wayward bob]

a bag for my stuff that doesn't have all the zips and linings borked.
