I used to have a ton of clothes, shoes, purses, etc. and I do love clothes. But in the past several years, I have paired down my wardrobe significantly. I noticed that I was spending a lot of money of clothes, when I really did not need to, and it bothered me. So to save money, I stopped buying retial unless it was a super duper sale. I buy a lot of things at thrift stores also. Now I may not be the most stylish person in town, but I think fashion wise I looks more or less like anyone else. It is nice because not so much of my money is being spent on clothes anymore. Another bonus is that now that my wardrobe is simpler, I also am doing fewer loads of laundry, too, and this also saves moeny on electricity, water, detergent etc. Have you experienced anything like this?

To say I have a lot of clothes would be an understatement, if you even get to see my closet you would probably say I had enough clothes in there to open a small boutique for men. At least that is what everyone else says even my sons.

Ha ha! Thanks for posting that, it made me laugh. I would like to see your closet! maybe you should post a "panoramic view" type shot of your closet!! You would probably need that setting to take in all the clothes, heh heh, right?

I have the same experiences as you.May be girls and lady both like going shoppping and buying some clothes.It seems that i never feel satisfied with my current clothes.Actually appearance is important to girls and lady.The person who are dressing modern and beautiful attracked others more easily and give them good impression.plus fashion changed constantly,so we can't help ourselves buying many clothes to get hold of the fashion.In addition it's very possible that we put them away quickly because we think them out of fashion.As you said,i also spent much money on buying clothes every month.In fact,I really want to save my money.but i still expect to get something new.I want to become a beautiful lady.lol.

I have way way way too many clothes, but the interesting thing is that I can still never find anything to wear! I guess style is kind of an addiction! You have to be careful though, buying cheap clothes. I like bargains too, but the clothes don't tend to last as long or look nice for as long as the more expensive better made clothes. If they last longer you might save more money than buying more cheaper clothes!
