What do you wear?

For years I had things I kept for best and then these items ended up not being worn much, so now I tend to have clothes for working in the house and doing dirty jobs and things to go out with very few items only worn occasionally. I have found that wearing a pinafore when cooking has meant less grease spots on my tops.. For years I had a dress which was a really good 'wear it when you don't know what to wear ' sort of thing. It washed a dream and did not need ironing - how I missed that dress when it finally bit the dust!

I do that saving thing too Tanith.
I had a lovely pink lace shift dress when I was aboout 20 that I only wore twice
One way to think yourself out of the tendency is to consider cost per wear.
That means that if you buy something expensive, the more you wear it, the cheaper it becomes

I dress in what I find comfy which is mostly jeans and t-shirt/sweater , trainers or sandals . I have a tendency to buy nice things but then 'keep' them for a nice outing , then end up wearing a comfy 'old' outfit, I've often found that things I've bought that I really really like but then hardly wear as I'm always 'saving' them. My daughters buy things and then wear them to death, donate them and buy new. Maybe its our thriftiness that gets in the way.

Yes; I've got a wardrobe full of nice clothes that never get worn. Even if I go out I end up choosing something that I go shopping in. I've got a Phase Eight sweater that I wear when I go out; I feel so happy in it. I looked on the internet to see if I could still buy it but, alas they don't have any more. It was quite expensive but I've had so much use out of it. Has a bit of cashmere in it, though and I'm terrified of finding moth holes in it one day. I think a lot of my 'nice clothes in the wardrobe' don't fit me now, though, which is why I need to lose a bit of weight as I can't afford to replace them. Mind you, I did some gardening the other day wearing slightly smarter clothes than usual and found I didn't get in such a mess [that decorating guy used to say the same in the changing rooms programme] as I didn't wipe my hands on my jeans etc.
