I think it is very normal that our focus, interests and priorities shifts. And you probably have other things in your life right now that are occupying and interest you more than shopping for clothes.

You have so many things going on now that require planning and choices, and as you said, you have really been working your wardrobe with challenges.
Perhaps the home and garden are providing enough of a creative outlet right now. As meditators might say, stay curious about it and watch what happens.

I think there is a normal ebb and flow at work here, at least that’s been my experience.

I think it’s a very normal feeling too, Jenni! A good thing.

I shop and refresh early in the season so that I can forget about shopping for myself for several months. It’s liberating and satisfying. I am just about done for Autumn and Winter. Of course, I continue to shop for and with other people for their wardrobes because it’s my job. But I stop for myself. It’s a good feeling. Quite calming.

You don’t need to continually shop to enjoy fashion and style. If your wardrobe is fab-for-you, the urge will subside because you’re in a zen state with your style. So go and enjoy your clothes, footwear and accessories! That’s what they are there for.

I bet it's the other things going on in your life that are taking up the shopping space. Planning your daughter's wedding and the expenses that follow can certainly be distracting, especially when you are content with the current state of your wardrobe AND when there's nothing at retail that wows you.

It's normal for people to go through cycles or phases or whatever you want to call it. A lot of clothing has just been so uninspiring to me lately, so that may be part of what is happening with you as well?

I was like that this spring, nothing really appealed to me, and all seemed very chaotic. So much was "been there done that" or "I already have similar." Meh. Plus there's just so much clothing out there-like looking at a buffet when you already feel stuffed. There may be a desire to not want to contribute to more production/ more discards.

Yes Suntiger thank you, you have a good point. I feel like not just me but maybe the whole world is drowning in clothes!

I too have been shopping very little .. Money, the world, body changes ( in a good way lots of exercise!), my desire for less stuff...
It is all good.. I also am loving the thrift shops when I want just a little something new..
