What do you think is the longest you've ever gone as an adult without buying clothes of any kind, including shoes? 3 of the 9 magazines I subscribe to are In Style, Elle, and Glamour, so you would think I would have the impression that any woman caught in the same outfit more than once is doomed. But nah. I used to buy clothes probably too much, partly because I worked in a dept store and I got a discount, but I just realized I've probably bought 1 thing for $20 in the last 6 months plus a $50 bathing suit. Have you ever gone a year or more without buying clothes? I may have gone 6 months, probably not a year. Unfortunately shopping is my default activity, as in what I do when I have nothing better to do, which is bad.
With The Devil Wears Prada out, I was wondering how much normal regular non-celebrity non-filthy rich people really spend on clothes in a year/month/whatever and how many things they actually get. I was curious if people are more likely to buy more inexpensive things or fewer more expensive things or what. I kept thinking I was spending a bigger % of my income on clothes than most people, but now I'm thinking probably not. I suspect a lot of people buy stuff because it's there, it fits, it's pretty, rather than because they need it or will actually have occasion to wear it. (this is for men too--I'm wondering if most men go a year without buying clothes routinely or if it is just a stereotype.) ------------------------ Yahoo!
