I have a lot of clothes that fit me from years gone by and I still enjoy pulling things out occasionally and wearing regardless of what’s trending. If they look new and still fit nicely I have no qualms about putting them on. Even if I spent a little or a lot( not too much, I don’t buy designer clothes- but nicer brands yes). So for example I’m traveling later this summer and have been thinking about what I’m packing and I have skirts I just tried on that zi had bought on the Q last year and Others I got a Anne Klein and even Amazon that I’m thinking I may pack.. Do you ladies do the same thing or are you wearing only what’s new this season?

I don't know anyone who ONLY wears new clothes.

My style is traditional.  I don't buy trendy clothes.  Which means I wear the same style clothes all year round.  I have summer and winter traditional clothes.

Most of my clothes are 'classic' styles where they don't go out of style. Plus I buy clothes that can be worn year-round so that way I'm always rotating through most of my closet from season to season. About the only thing that changes are the colors I choose wear to make it more appropriate for one season or another. No need to buy new clothes until something wears out, gets stained or I am simply tired of it and it gets donated.

That’s good to know. I have a combination of classic and boho, and sporty clothing and regardless if it’s either I still feel comfortable wearing them. I try to tailor my outfit to what I think is appropriate for the occasion but regardless I love having fun with my clothing..and enjoy wearing things I may have for a year or many..

I'm like you. Nice clothes but not expensive, comfortable classics, most styles in my closet are sort of timeles.

I too am traveling this summer. Bought a new dress from LL Bean to take- a stretch knit fit n flare style. But will also be packing some things that I've had for years that still look current.

April of NY pack what you have and enjoy your trip,no one will know if it's New or Old.

I really wonder how families do it with the prices I am seeing  or is it just these shopping channels prices that  have become RIDICULOUS.

Have a box full of clothes right now  to donate somewhere ,not because I don't like but just that they gotten too big on me over the years but know someone will be happy to get them.

I've kicked around long enough and tried many clothes over the years so know what I like and what works for me. Occasionally, if it's appealing to me, I might try a trend, but more times than not, I stick with the tried and true.
