To me, the most important question when it comes to deciding whether or not to buy an article of clothing is do I like it? If I like something, I'll wear it, whether it is the latest style, or completely unfashionable. Of course, these days just about anything goes! One can develop a personal style.
Next: Is it modest, or would I be ashamed to have my Guardian Angel see me in it?
If it isn't modest, can it be worn OVER something that IS modest? Quite often, the answer is "yes."
Can I afford it? I usually can, because I get my clothes second-hand. I have several reasons for this. Yes, my budget has a great deal to do with it, but there are other considerations as well. For one thing, it is better for the environment. For another, I don't have to worry about where the item was manufactured.
There used to be a stigma attached to buying and wearing second-hand clothes; thank God that's no longer the case! Now, one can sing with confidence:
"I'm wearing second hand clothes, second hand clothes."
