I don't watch as much now in part because of the repetition. Also I have purchased well made products that last a long time. I don't need/want more shoes or purses in red, black, brown, yellow, etc and shades of the same. The same can be said of the clothing. I don't need more of the same styles, colors, fabrics. Any purchase has to be different and really catch my eye to buy. At my age and my full closets I have no real need to shop except in 1 of my own closets. Not trying to done size I was shocked to see how much I had collected.
I laugh when I read my fashion magazines. These magazines were a good investment. What's old is new again. The style and color are probably already in my closet. I just found my wedding shoes from 1962. Pointed toes, skinny high heels still wrapped in their box. My DIL suggested I take them to 1 of several used clothing stores in the area. The used clothing store was delighted to get them and wants more. The college girls love the "older" style clothes. I was amazed at the price older clothes sell for. The store will buy more pre-2010 if I want to sell to them. I will continue to donate basics elsewhere but just might sell my other pieces. I did not realize how big a business good used clothing was.

I agree.......and no matter what the QVC line---they all look the same now.......talk about repetition.........I guess if you dont like the cold shoulder, uneven hem, trapeze hem, or lace in various forms, you are out of luck........Well made, classic styles, with good quality fabric are hard to find these days.........
So true....it seems that designers these days are just retreading old styles and fabric patterns.......... Glad to see you can get some extra cash as the millenials go wild for the "retro" clothing....although they probably think these designs are original and fresh---LOL!!!
