i have issues with socks, especially those thin cotton ones, I bought black ones for work, they last a few weeks before my big toe goes through them and i put them on the other foot until it annoys me , then in the garbage they go.
As for purses, well I buy purses when I am in a bad mood. One grumpy day and a trip to the coach outlet cost me $700. I have a rubbermaid bin full of them. I have NEVER worn out a purse.
