Since the market crash of 2006 incomes have mostly stayed the same or decreased for a lot of people simply due to a lack of demand. Sure there are those making more $$ than ever before as well. But for those of us making less (and in my case I changed to a career where you make less $$$ for at least the first 5 yrs) are you also spending less on clothes? It's clear retails stores are not doing as well as they once were. I used to always spend $ on clothes at least a couple times a year, but lately I haven't been, and I can't say I'm any less happy either. I do have a fair amount of nice and some expensive clothes ([URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=804"]hugo[/URL] boss suits, etc) from when I was making good $$$.
Styles also seem to have changed a lot. What does everyone make of today's trends? Seems like a lot of people are wearing high top nike trainers, and 90's styles are back. I will never wear that stuff :lol:, as I think it looks clownish, but I'm curious to hear everyones input on today's styles. :roll:
Do you wear whatever you want regardless of style/fashion or how it looks? Or do you try to buy new clothes often that are stylish? I really stopped caring right around the time we had our baby, but I was pretty much over it after college honestly. At that point I had to buy nice clothes for the business I was in, as it was the standard.
