Keeping things for "best", holding on to things

I just wondered whether anyone can relate to this.

You know how some people get a great dress or jacket and wear them to death?
Well, I am not one of those people!!!

I have always loves clothes. In recent years I have had enough money to buy nice things and have a wadrobe I am happy with. BUT I always feel that I have to save stuff in case I have no money in the future to buy new things. I am getting better at this, and tell myself that this is silly, and that in any case I might as wear things now as in 10 years time or whatever they will look dated. I am not a hoarder by any means - I hate clutter - and regularly get rid of clothes I don't wear. But there is always this little voice saying - don't wear those nice boots today, you are not going anywhere special, and you may never be able to afford a pair like that again...

I have analysed this, and I think I have this fear of being poor, which is reflected in my reluctance to "use up" clothes... Grin

Good point about the dry cleaning. But I have found that clothes that I have put away after dry-cleaning, and then get out two summers later Grin often have tiny beige stains (champagne.../mould....?)
