Buying a duplicate item for a backup - Page 2

I buy duplicates in shoes quite often. I have bought duplicates in tops, but not often. It's like tops, for instance, there are so many nice looking ones, I like different ones.

I struggle with this malady. However, since downsizing to a condo, I often have to rein it in.

Right now I am wearing a pair of olive ankle pants, of which I have three identical pair. Most notably in my wardrobe would be duplicate shoes. I often purchase more than one pair in the same or different color.

This shoe is a few years old. When I bought it, it was on clearance at Beall's Fl. They only had certain sizes, so I bought what was in stock. This style, a mule, does not require a sock. I am a true 6.5, but I usually get a 7 in sneakers and boots because I wear socks with them. These were available in a 6 or a 7.5, so I went with the 6 and they fit well. I don't have any other Easy Spirits to compare them to, but I know that @LTT1 has several pairs in "Traveltime." She might be able to advise more about their sizing.

Thanks, @lolakimono. I didn't realize they were a mule. That's a deal breaker for me.

At the end of last summer, I bought two pair of floral Easy Spirits snekers on sale at HSN. @lolakimono, they were $69. on sale for $l9.99. Everything is wonderful about them, and they sure are cute.

HSN also has a terrific sale on BZEES (Naturallizer), very much like Easy Spirits. I got two pair of those, also.

I'm a push over for shoes. Thanks again....

If I find say a shirt or pair of pants I like I will buy the shirt in different colors. DH has at least 600 cds & has made copies of a lot of those he has in his truck.

Yes! I have definitely purchased exact duplicates. More often than not it is for a great basic: a quality tank top or tee shirt with a silky touch or fabrication that makes it great for layering.

Yes, all the tme - but not for backup ... but rather just because I like the item and they last longer if you alternate wearing/washing them.

Just about all my clothes and shoes are duplicated. For black turtleneck shirts, I probably have 20 identical shirts. Once I settle into a style ... I stock up.
