Yes, I can wear clothes that I wore 10 years ago, because almost 40 years ago, I decided that I would not buy pants beyond a certain waist size. When things get tight, I concentrate on losing the weight. I am presently working at losing a few pounds, and it is happening!

I try to buy decent quality clothing, BECAUSE THAT"S WHAT I LIKE! That said, my tastes and needs change, and, aside from some dress clothes, there are few articles of clothing that I want to wear after 10 years. Since retiring, I have been constantly weeding my wardrobe, donating serviceable pieces, particularly suites, to charities while they are still worth wearing. Now that I don't wear a suite every day, it kills me to see the constant buy-one-get-one-free sales.
