[quote=Anonymous]I now realize the wisdom of, and can afford, high quality expensive items that I don't donate after one season.  I've collected enough timeless jewelry by now that I have no interest in picking up several pairs of $30 earrings each year or a new statement ring that I'll wear a couple of times.  Virtually all of my jewelry from the past 10 years has been gifts from DH or family heirlooms.  When I buy clothes or a purse I make sure the quality is good and that I will still want to wear it next season.

It astounds me to think of all the fast fashion I cycled through in my 20's.

Most women over 40 also find that what you see in fashion magazines is not designed for them.  All those exciting new spring fashions?  Look at them and see how many are appropriate or desirable for a 50 yo.

Another thought- when you're buying for kids (especially teenagers) there's either less of the pie left for you or you shoot your shopping wad on them and are less enthusiastic about shopping for yourself.[/quote]
