LOL<BR/><BR/>I window shop weekly, but I really shop about once every other month. I don't have a ton of clothes bulging out of my closets but I do try to buy timeless pieces that I can mix and match.

Trouble starts when you hoard tons and tons of stuff and it over takes your home ala some of the families highlighted on Mission Organization on HGTV.<BR/><BR/>Since you don't have a tv, you might not know that show. They take a family who is overrun by their stuff and force them to ditch it all. It's awesome..https://www.blogger.com/profile/13595367207712520382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-1143658736547981962006-03-29T13:58:00.000-05:002006-03-29T13:58:00.000-05:00I shope probably once a month, at least.

But they're there in case I need them. I tend to buy the classics, so it's quite possible that I won't wear a dress for an entire year, only to wear it at a wedding the following year (when people have hopefully forgotten that I've already worn it before). But that's the exception rather than the rule.IRAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01088005060867682838noreply@blogger.com
