Cycle through for new

“Is that a new jacket?” “nope”. “Is that a new bag?” “this old thing?” “Look at your new shoes!” “oh, they’re not new.”

It’s not being humble, it’s being honest. I have a few things I enjoy about clothing. I enjoy a jacket/shrug/sweatery type thing. I enjoy purses. I enjoy a certain type of shoe. However, I don’t want to buy a million of these items. So I cycle through.
I have a staple. About 4 pairs of shoes, about 4 jackets, and about 6 purses. I then cycle through my staples.

Example, my purse. This is the most obvious of my cycles. I use a particular purse for anywhere from a month to three months. Then, when I get tired of it, I pick out another bag from my stash. It feels like a new purse, b/c I haven’t used it in who knows how long. And people have forgotten that I have it, and so it looks new to them as well. I do this with shoes (like I said, I have about 4 that I enjoy and will cycle through, all black so they go with everything), and jacket type things. It’s an easy way to indulge in a ‘new’ item, without actually buying one. ;) Just thought I’d share.
