For example, something which looks very good in the store will randomly look very bad at home when observed in the mirror. This then results in the purchase of another item of clothing similar in almost every way to the now-abhorrent item of clothing except one crucial and almost imperceptible detail. Repeat this sequence as unneccesary and you've got something which has a physics/quantam parallel, which I'm still trying to work out. I do know that it leads to more space in the wallet and less in the closet. By the way, I'm not sure if you wearing many items of skimpy foundationware will have a positive impact on Mrs H's emotional wellbeing.
