I get fixated on buying particular kinds of clothes. I just got through a polo shirt phase.

I'm starting to lose interest in buying clothes. All I'll do is buy moar if I get something.

^ I'm kinda the same way. I don't feel good if I don't feel good about what I'm wearing.

I actually kind of lost interest in clothing lately and by extension, SF. Now I just buy what's necessary, like winter coats interview suits etc.
