Sorry about thread title, I really couldn't think how to word it!
I love clothes, and have a lot of them. I don't spend a fortune and do buy and sell a lot on Ebay and also buy from places like Primark and NewLook a fair bit too. I just love putting outfits together, looking nice, and taking a pride in my appearance.
I get totally fed up with getting comments from people about how many clothes I have. It's always in a sort of put down way rather than an 'I love your top/dress/coat' kind of way.
There is a mum at my DCs school who comments again and again, always things like "Oh gosh, ANOTHER top, HOW many tops do you need?" and "Exactly HOW many coats do you have, Elephant?"
Work colleagues comment too in the vein of oh god not more new clothes eh, Elephant.
And my mum is the absolute worst. She thinks that looking nice is pure vanity and is something to be ashamed of, and makes comments in front of my kids with an eye roll, things like "Mum must have a lot of money to waste, buying new things again", if I'm wearing something new or that she hasn't seen before. Or "If only you put the money you spend into tarting yourself up into doing more worthwhile things".
I don't mean this to come across as a brag. As I said before, I do not spent a fortune by any means, I just love clothes.
Does anyone else get constant snipey comments from others about choosing to look nice and have lots of clothes?
