Do you buy multiple items of similar/same clothing?

I'm debating on purchasing a 2nd pair of jeans on Ebay because they fit sooo well and they are half price compared to the department store.  I feel silly doing this but it's a habit of mine to buy two of something if I really, really like it.  I feel like jeans are difficult for me to find because of my huge hips so I was ecstatic to find them for such a good price. Does anyone else do this or am I just a little crazy?

    I do it a bit but my Mum is unstoppable. She does it too much and then I find she's bought (me or herself) so many doubles that when new things come out she can't justify new clothes. PITA.

    One word of advice, don't do that with shoes. I bought 2 pairs of walking boots because they were so comfy. Then had 3 pregnancies and none of them fit (1 pair totally unworn).

    I totally do. Especially with jeans, I buy multiple pair. I also do it with tops, if I really like a top (usually a basic top) then I buy it in a couple colors.

    What brand are they?  My hips have grown since baby and I'm embarrased to go buy more.  Embarrassed  I feel so fat even though I'm down within 5lbs of prebaby weight.

    I do. When I find a super cute top or something for DD or even myself it's nice to have it again as an option.

    For me, hell yes.  It's so hard for me to find items I love wrt style and that fit me well, so when I do and if the price isn't exorbitant, I buy it in every color, and even a backup of the best color.  Especially jeans.

    Definitely do with jeans, because it seems like it's only once every 3-5 years that I can find some I like the style and fit of.  I did it last fall and the only problem is that I've since lost 10 pounds and they're all a little baggy now.  I can deal though, because they are so comfy and make my butt look nice.  ;)

    Ask my DH and he would say that I absolutely do. He is always pointing out that the new top I just bought or the new jeans I just bought are exactly the same as what's in my closet.

    With jeans, though, I would totally do what you're doing. Jeans are really hard to shop for.
