[quote=Anonymous]Do you fall prey to marketing and the changing of the seasons and add items to your wardrobe every couple of months? If so, how many? Does your wardrobe just perpetually increase? I'm in my late 30s, have plenty of clothes but am not a maximalist/excessive shopper like some friends. My wardrobe is at a point where I rarely "need" anything. I have acquired enough luxury-use-for-life items in my late 20s and early 30s (the MaxMara coat, the high quality cashmere sweaters, the perfect white shirt, a couple of nice handbags, etc). Yet I still get that urge to buy new items, especially when the seasons change. It's harder now with social media and being bombarded with super targeted marketing. I have no financial reason to never buy, and new items do add some joy to daily life especially when things are stressful/highly routinized. At the same time I'm old enough that I'm picky about quality and so many things seem trendy to me. Now with kids I also no longer have the time to buy things just to try on/scratch the itch and then return them. But it feels impossible and too harsh on myself to ... never buy anything again? I still love browsing clothes/fashion online. What are your shopping habits like if you are in this life stage? What prompts a new purchase when nothing is needed? [/quote]
