Good answer, mommyof4. Yes, our clothing definitely shows our frugality. I have dress shirts in my closet that I've had for 15 years. I have casual shirts that I've had for over 20 years.
Jewelry is another area. I've had my watch for about 21 years. When I stop into the jewelry store that we use (because we're friends with the owners), he always harasses me about still having the same watch. Why should I replace it? I like it and it works. I put a new band on every couple of years and I'm good to go.
