I was talking to a friend today about our upcoming trip next month. She kept saying how she thought it was odd that we don’t buy new clothes for everyone for every trip we take. For context, it’s a UK break we are going to- visiting a seaside resort for a week and a day Alton Towers before we head home. I feel like weather wise it will be the exact same climate as we have in sunny Scotland, so other than a few bits like swimming gear for the kids who have outgrown things- we really don’t need much. My friend says that she buys all new clothes for every trip she takes.
I came away wondering if I’m being a bit miserable but I just don’t see the need for a whole new wardrobe for each of us for a sake of a trip that’s a4 hour drive along the road.
