[quote=Anonymous]This is the first year where we didn't buy new clothes. I'm down to only one kid left at home, and I'll be honest, she dresses like a half-naked hobo most of the time. She and her friends a very much into turning their noses up at "fast fashion" and are all about thrift shopping and swapping clothes.

She's been living in flipflops and Birkenstocks this summer, so we did buy a new pair of sneakers that are needed for PE.

She bought jeans last year and they all still have the tags on them. She lived in leggings and PJ pants all last year. I can't stand the PJ pants trend, but pick your battles and all that...

My adult kids in college bought some new clothes, but again, I think it's just this younger generation, they don't place a big emphasis on new things to go back to college. They probably spent less than $100 each on new clothes and shoes. One of my sons used to be a huge sneakerhead with a big collection, but he chose to sell his collection while a senior in HS because he realized he'd fallen victim to "the system" and was wasting money on shoes that mostly sat on display in his room. He took a finance & econ class that year in HS and learned all about assets and liquid vs illiquid assets.    [/quote]
