    Default Buying lots of the same item - in different colors?

    Does anyone else do this? Sometimes I wonder if I should be diversifying my wardrobe more, but then again - another part of my brain says "if it fits & you love it, why not get more then one while you know where to get it!"... So which one makes more sense???

    I am wearing this top from Banana Republic today in blue:
    Modern Apparel, Handbags, Shoes, and Accessories | Banana Republic


    I saw the Tangelo color in the store, and I think it came in a few others (Green & Black) in the store as well... I was thinking about going back and getting more of them. Just trying to figure out if I'm crazy, because I do this alot with shirts & pants.

    Do you think its better to have lots of things in different colors that work - or more variety?

    I am especially guilty of this in tanks, tees, and flip flops. I see nothing wrong with buying multiples of an item you like in different colors, especially basics.
    My randomness...

    Alright, whew. Good to know that alot of other ppl do too!!

    I have the VS Pink flipflops in a bunch of colors, cuz I like the way they feel - and I have a ton of tanks & camis that are the same but different colors from Gap/Old Navy/Target, etc. I've also purchase cardigan sets that were the same but different colors, since they fit really well.

    I'm trying to ride the thin line between classic style, and "no style- cause you wear the same thing everyday!!"...

    I do this all the time! If I find something I love the first thing I do is check and see if it comes in any other colors. You're not crazy at all!

    Same here as well. I buy lots of multiples when I find something that fits well and is reasonably priced.
