@sense - I can never quite find coats that fit. If I did I think I'd have a collection too.

@frugal canner - I think a blow up pool is just as good as any other. Our house came with an in ground pool and now I can't imagine life without it.

@stella - I wish I had a more disciplined wardrobe too. The trouble is that I'm hard to fit, so I tend to wind up with a hodge-podge of stuff that works, but doesn't always work together.

If you're actually going to get a lot of use out of them, then it's not so bad. I, for one, avoid situations that require bathing suits at all costs. ;)

My struggle is with clothes in general. I often wish I could be one of those minimalist types who owns maybe a dozen "investment" pieces and who can dress them up and down with all sorts of cool accessories.

I'm not. Sigh...

I have no business wearing a bathing suit being the size that I am but I have to agree it is the closest legal thing to being in the all together in nature that I can imagine. I even wear mine in the garden sometimes. I have a small blow up pool and love sitting in it when the weather is nice and thinking my $50 pool (which is going to be used for the third season this year) is just as good as someone's fancy in ground pool for a fraction of the cost…that is why I am The Frugal Fraulein

mine is winter outerwear: winter jackets and rainjackets and ski jackets and hoodies and sweatshirts…ah. I can't resist cozy outerwear!! Never mind that I haven't lived in a place where it gets colder than 45 F in 10 years…we all have our vices, and I adore each and every one of my jackets for different reasons. 🙂

Sounds like you got some great deals there!
