[quote=Anonymous]Yes. But I would not describe it as falling prey to marketing. Do you make the same rotation of recipes year after year and never change or add anything new?

I buy 1-2 tops per season - including sweaters in the winter. Each year I probably 2-3 dresses, 3-4 bottoms, and 3-4 pairs of shoes. Less about the season and more about specific needs or new styles I like. Over time, I weed out old styles so my wardrobe slowly evolves over time.

I am far from a fashion plate, but I have a coworker who is beautiful and slim. We are in our 40s and I know she is the same weight and size as she was in her 20s because her wardrobe looks like she went to Talbots and Brooks Brothers when she graduated from college in 2002 and bought 5-6 pant suits along with 3 pairs of “sensible” shoes and she has been wearing the exact same outfits on repeat since I met her in 2009. I think she may have switched out the shell styles sleeveless tops she wears under the suit. She is very frugal - but pants and shoe styles have changed so much! She looked like a pretty young woman dressing like a 40 yr old when we were in our 20s. She looks like a 45 yr old dressing from her mom’s closet or the thrift store now. I saw her dressed up for a black tie event once, in a rented dress, and she looked so stunning. I get it that she just doesn’t care - but she is the perfect example of someone who should buy a new outfit 3-4 times a year to keep things fresh. [/quote]
