Yes, much less. I think it is both, the economy and I just feel like I "need" less at this point in my life.

I really miss the navy/white (A200240) dotted topper, and would pick that one up in a heartbeat if/when I ever find it again.

It's still available in small sizes (not sure what your current size is).

I'm buying less high fashion clothes. Lifestyle change due to retirement from a full time marketing career where appearance meant so much for meeting with clients, and attending conferences, conventions and tradeshows. My retired seasonal career of garden designer and landscaping is a D&C wardrobe gig. Health has curtailed a lot of travel, so my fashion needs are minimal. I still buy a lot of beauty products because I consider those to be personal pampering.

Buying less due to life change and illness right now. Also, have more than enough of most things. QVC has changed so much I don't order as much--only items I really can't get elsewhere (which isn't many any more) and for clothing I only buy Linea. The shipping costs keep me from more QVC shopping. For example, I was going to order the PTR 2 oz. PM retinol which is priced for today only. With the shipping the amount was more than buying two one ounce bottles from Amazon with free shipping. I think I saved over $7.00. I no longer "fall for" every cosmetic TSV, etc.

I am buying less than I used to. I have been only purchasing Linea jackets and sweaters for many years but do not like where that line is headed. I did purchase my first Isaac M knit jean jacket TSV. Good for throwing on to run to the grocery store, etc. but overall do not care for the designs.

I recently needed to purchase some foundation and found it was cheaper at Nordstrom than QVC because of the free shipping!

I am not an "XS" by any stretch of the imagination, but looking at the measurements, it just might work. Thanks, Lola. Who knows, it might be inspiration enough to kick me off the plateau I've been sitting on for months ...

Yes~ my jewelry box and my closet are full~ The economy is tough and I am ""shopping my closet"" these days! As I have matured in life I have come to realize that "" things"" do not have the capability of bringing me happiness on anything other than a temporary level.

I now buy only colors that I know look good on me. No more ""experimenting""......
