Do you ever feel guilty for spending too much money on clothes?

When I got married, I curbed down a bit buying so many clothes. Mainly, because I started developing a guilty conscience. I had quite a few outfits, and my husband was perfectly happy in his clothes which didn't seem to be much. So, I started buying clothes for him! now, I do not think I have bought a decent outfit in four years, due to the fact I just can't do it anymore. I grew out of it. anyone have this problem?

I have alot of clothes that are just sitting in my closet. I realized I had enough pairs of pants, and shirts to last a month! well, I decided not to do laundry for a month. interestingly enough, I was discovering outfits I had never worn in my wardrobe! I also found a few undesirables that are going to charity.

When I was young I wasn't in to clothes all that much but now that I am older I am obseesed with the beautiful clothes of today, I don't go for expensive clothes but I am good at matching things up and for the first time in my life I love shopping for clothes and I don't feel guilty at all, I look at it that I only live once and that is what I enjoy.

I make it a point not to feel guilty about anything. Guilt and worry are wasted emotions, in my book.

I feel guilty for spending too much money on clothes even when I haven't really spent all that much money at all. I always shop sales and if I buy something that is $20, I still feel as if I have paid way too much.
