I've stopped purchasing any new clothing. June, July and August and then fall clothes again. NC still in Phase 2. I still have nowhere to go to wear new things I purchased.
Hate to sound like a pessimist, but this pandemic will still be around for quite awhile.
Are you still purchasing summer clothes?

Just replacing some polos and tees. I started last year replacing all my cottons with polyester tops.
Mostly, I’m altering and embellishing.
I see very few summer things on Q that work for me style-wise.
@ALRATIBA I've ordered hardly anything from Q. The return rate because of quality/fit became ridiculous. I realized ordering more clothing either 50% off from my favorite sites is a waste of money at this time.
Altering/embellishing? Sounds interesting. What are you doing?

My closets are filled and with no church Sunday--haven't worn anything dressy in a while. If I see something I really REALLY need I might buy it anyways.

While I love learning about fashion and reading up on what is going on in the fashion forum, I am not someone who buys something every season. Mostly because I am retired. So I can wear the same type of outfit every day of the week and go to different places and nobody will care.
I rarely order any clothing online. Last thing I ordered were a pair of Iman jeans. They looked horrible on me, so I sent them back. That's how it has been with other items from online retailers. So I just play it safe and order skincare.
If I need to replace something, I will go to a local retailer. The pandemic really hasn't changed the way that I shop for clothing.

I am ordering summer weight bottoms because I really need them. One thing the pandemic changed was my hip size, unfortunately. I am up one size from last year. Uggh. My shopping habits have changed. More $$ applied to getting some food items shipped to my home; my husband is very high risk and could definitely not survive a bout with the virus. I have a work from home job so that has not changed much. But if I was going on mini trips etc I would be buying some cute outfits but saving my money for now. I live in upstate NY; we are slowing opening up, but due to my age and my husband's risk I will probably be isolating for the summer and fall. I try not to think about it. One day at a time.

@Shanus Hi Everyone. I love to shop in clothing stores and this virus has put a screeching halt to that. On the plus side, I have saved lots of money and lost about 5 lbs. (Less snacking these days). I have tried on all my crop and Capri pants recently. I had a total of 30 (yikes!) pair so no need to shop. I am donating 9 crop pants and three of my old favorites fit me again. If I see something that I reallly really like, I will buy it. But like everyone else, I have nowhere to go. Stay safe and healthy!

I haven't bought anything but food and toiletries since late January. I'm saving myself a ton of money!

I have only bought a few items this spring. A couple pairs of Sketchers, which I like for around the house. And a few items from Talbot’s, extra wardrobe essentials, bought for a song on one of their constant sales. Things are starting to open up in limited ways in CT, but I won’t be rushing out anytime soon.
