Sophie - I do...Worm - I'm not even going to ask<br />Sophie - I do the same. There are some things in my cupboard that I actually think are too good for me, they should belong to a person higher up the social hierarchy, really. I am, in fact, in awe of some of my own clothing.<br />Nurse - That special occasion might be just around the corner, as long as you've got them put away safely<br />Brit - My policy is similar but I just avoid mine ever becoming rags, in case I can't replace them (and that's much more of a danger if you're a woman, because manufacturers never ever let you have the thing you liked last year again). So I stock up on my minimum number of clothes and then wear other people's cast-offs instead.zmkchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972549292961948240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905080602885676490.post-47653635602859324142010-05-25T17:08:04.521+02:002010-05-25T17:08:04.521+02:00I'm a man.

I buy the minimum number of clothes and wear them until they become rags, and then replace them with new clothes that are as similar as possible to the old ones before they became rags.Brithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00390560583798960760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905080602885676490.post-15123313633475597182010-05-25T12:27:38.280+02:002010-05-25T12:27:38.280+02:00I have 'special occasion' corsets that hav...I have 'special occasion' corsets that haven't seen the light of day for over two yearsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905080602885676490.post-74161500340319147912010-05-25T11:52:06.927+02:002010-05-25T11:52:06.927+02:00This made me laugh out loud.

I do something similar: if I buy clothes/shoes that I deem too expensive/smart for every day I will wear them once (because they have usually been bought for some 'occasion') and then put them away for a while. After a decent amount of time has elapsed (a year to eighteen months) I tell myself it's OK to wear these things a bit more frequently. In the meantime, I wear my 'gardening' clothes. The good thing about this policy is that I have lots of lovely dresses and jackets in very good condition, some of which are getting on for 20 years old. The bad thing is that some of them have very big shoulder pads....Sophie Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05212037697701712380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905080602885676490.post-12911473266587988312010-05-25T10:12:22.903+02:002010-05-25T10:12:22.903+02:00she should have had him executed
