Well, that's probably true. But I dress to please myself more than anyone else. When I think I look nice, I feel more confident. And when I feel more confident, I feel happier. What's the sin in that? 

So what has that to do with the comment you were replying to?

I would say it's not really women-centric publications taking a hit, but any form of print media overall. People are moving over to e-subs on their e-readers etc. It is cheaper for the subscriber, and

To be fair it's almost all media that isn't free. There are a few sites that are worth paying for might survive. Since the advent of add blockers, there's no real business model that works.

The comment said that a straight man doesn't care if you wwear the same dress twice, and that it was other women who care. I just said I dress to please myself, not men or other women.

And that is fine but the point was any negative comment is not going to come from straight males.

It may be true that women will say something if an outfit is re-worn - mostly it is those stupid magazine and fashion culture telling us what we have to do to be accepted and pretty that some stupidly listen to. Us ladies not living in the life of luxury certainly see no shame in re-wearing outfits.  As for the BB,CC, and yes.. DD creams... here's some info. https://fashionista.com/2013/04/the-difference-between-bb-cc-dd-creams

So I’m still not sure what BB cream is, but I had an epiphany and realized CC cream is designed to help keep the gun from being noticed!

BB cream stands for "beauty balm" (usually). It's like an oomphed-up tinted moisturizer usually with some other benefits (like pore tightening, or sunscreen, or acne treatment). CC cream is "color correction" and it usually has some extra pigment. DD creams are newer, "daily defense." Apparently there are EE creams but I've never seen one out there.
