[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is like this, and I'm frugal, so I get your pain. But with her peer group constantly wearing new things, I understood her feelings. We found a couple ways to make us both happy. First, she has a few cute tops and skirts that she can mix and match to make a "new" outfit from the same clothes. She also shares clothes with friends which also makes something seem new (again) when the friend returns it. She's good about scouring sales and Amazon for inexpensive dresses. Finally, she works and relatives often give her $ gifts, so she can use her own money.[/quote]

+1, especially to the tops and skirts, but really all of it.

Also I think it depends on what you mean by "nice occasion." Wanting a different dress for each school dance, pretty normal. Wanting a different dress every time you've ever posted something isn't. Even social media influencers with tens of thousands or even millions of followers who get gifted clothes all the time will post re-wears.[/quote]
