Shopping justification

An expensive clothing purchase - every time you wear it it halves in price. We all have the odd almost full price object hanging in our wardrobe but I have a blue velvet Carla Zampatti outfit that is as old as my oldest granddaughter - 18. These days it probably only gets an outing once a year to the Opera Dinner but it owes me nothing! I also have a pair of Armani trousers - at least 15 years old and they are still full price. Helen
