Do you invest in the newest fashions or flashbacks? Every 12 months designers come out with clothes for the next season. For some individuals, cleaning out the closet and buying the newest styles is extremely important. The old garments go to a thrift store and replaced with the most recent purchases. So, are you in fashion, living flashbacks, or do you simply need to find something timeless?
I have known a woman who bought new clothes every season. Although I cannot imagine being able to revamp a section of my wardrobe every three months, or even wanting to, other women feel conspicuous and out of step without the world.
Economically speaking, many women are quite content to purchase an occasional new outfit at a local discount store. However, "Jean" has to shop at the high-end stores. Name brands are the only clothing worth her consideration. I am not sure what that says for those of us who cannot afford to swap closet contents or shop at the expensive boutiques. But, it is extremely important to her.
Although "Jean" may always have the newest fashion, I contend she is actually living flashbacks of a bygone decade. Let me explain. Approximately 30 years older than my teenage daughter, I see her wearing some of the same styles I thought were cool in the 70's. For example, she has gone through a stage of loving bell bottom jeans. Surprise! The same types of pants have been the in-thing during my childhood.
Miniskirts and short shorts are also a flashback to my younger years. As much as the idea freaks out my teenage, the styles she likes now are a restyled repeat from decades ago. Once again, girls are wearing skin-tight shorts and little tiny skirts. Déjà view!
