Wendy and her awful taste

Voterperson, just as people have different tastes in music or literature, they can have different tastes in clothes.

Because your taste is different than Wendy's is no reason to run her down, is it? Be grateful her tastes are not the same as yours, that means that each of you can shop 'til you drop and not end up fighting over the same item.

"One man's trash is another man's treasure."

Wendy likes what she likes. There may not always be a reason anyone else can understand. And at thrift store prices, it doesn't really matter if she buys stuff that won't last more than a few wearings. She can always go back and buy something else.

Maybe that's what Wendy likes best. In addition to the comfortable styles she chooses and the thrift store bargain prices, maybe she likes the fact that the clothes won't last long enough for her to tire of them.

You should stick to buying your classics and let Wendy enjoy the temporary status of her selections.

Voterperson,  Not every woman has the same taste in clothes, just like not every woman has the same taste in men.  Some pick the classy ones and some pick the crappy ones.  Wendy is your friend.  If she asks for your advise about her clothes, give it.  It she doesn't ask, then don't say anything.  Unless she looks totally ridiculous.  Just enjoy your friendship together.

After reading your lengthy question and giving it some thot, I came to one possible conclusion. I will phrase it as a question. Does running Wendy down help your self image?

I see no reason for you to be angry about the way another dresses. Unless it is your minor child.
