I've been checking my old photos and noticed I still have the clothes I wore in the pics from as far as 6 years ago!!! 
Oh my goodness, when will I change my wardrobe? I should give away all my clothes and buy new ones!
Oh wait, I think that's what I will do starting this month. Since I'm gonna be moving out soon, it'll be less of a hassle when I do move out. I'll just put all my clothes in big plastic bags and have someone sell it off as thrift items or donate them to the needy.
I don't usually buy clothes. When I do it's only when I need them and only in thrift shops too. If not, I'd find the most affordable and fashionable clothes and purchase whatever I can.
The last time I bought clothes I think was last year? Heck and those were just a few dresses even. No pants at all. Some of my pants are now outdated and yet I still wear them loose straight cut pants. Oh well.

I too have many clothes that are 6 07 even 12 years old and since they are in good condition I still wear them. I have a Silk and gold Saree that is nearly 23 years old and it still looks new. I would like to preserve it forever.I keep buying clothes , one at a time but not too many ..

Long back, I tried ripping off an old jeans (denim) and I was thinking wife would be furious. Instead, she said - Aha, so you are getting into the groove and fashion with those cuts on the jeans!
They even dont let me get rid of those torn ones now

@kiran8 Oh wow, I think because Sarees are made of silk they can last for a long time and still look good.

My figure doesn't have a change as time goes by. Therefore, usually I buy the new clothes because I like them. I am surprised that you haven't bought clothes for such a long time. It is really amazing. Last time I bought new clothes was a few months ago. I saw two clothes which are nice and inexpensive online. And this is why I would buy it.

yeah I know, I'm such a cheapskate when it comes to clothes. But never fear, I shall have a new set of clothes soon!
I've already given my other clothes away on 2 separate occasion and have yet to buy lots of new ones so I feel like all my clothes are very well used these days.

I have bought a few things over the past year. Mostly some t-shirts and tops. Nothing expensive. My husband and I just laugh it off when we see ourselves in multiple photos, but with the same outfit.

I buy sometimes a couple of garments when I´m on vacations, but some of my clothes (in fact most of them) are over 20 years old.

Aw... I still have older clothes in our old house but I don't think I'll be using them anymore.
Cool you keep your clothes for that long. Nowadays I don't feel like wearing the same clothes over and over again.

I only buy new clothes when I need them. I have a closet full so there is nothing I need at the moment. Have fun shopping.

Yeah I have a closet full of them too but I don't want to wear most of them anymore. I'll be getting a whole set of wardrobe soon... Little by little though coz I can't splurge too much.

@poehere it's the same here, that sudden heat and cold that can give you a headache or a cold. i guess the practice there of maintaining just the right temperature means lower electricity bill too. but i probably wouldn't wear too casual clothes or i might feel too relaxed to work.

@hereandthere Yap because it's so hot here and most businesses done't keep it that cool in the office. Why because if you leave from a very cold environment to the heat and back again too many people get sick. So they try to make it the idea temperature so when you go out and come back in it isn't such a shock to your system.

If they still fit and you like them why get rid of them.
I don't follow fashion and am old enough to know what suits me.
I do buy T shirts and trousers, as the latter get tatty and frequently bleach stained !

Yeah they still fit but I grow tired of wearing the same thing. I feel it's time to change my wardrobe. But first I'll need to move somewhere.

Oh I should do that too! Or I'll just dump all my clothes in one go and go on a shopping splurge. Ugh. 
I'll see what I can do. Hopefully I get my brain all sorted out of the love cloud so I can think about other things!!!

@owstalaga I have to do it that way because I'm on a tight budget. It works.
