I didn't make it all the way through the post. Too many exclamation marks - after every sentence, it seems - and quoting Miley Cyrus was the breaking point for me.

But seriously, do people really buy new watches to match their new cars? New wardrobes to match a new pair of jeans? I never even knew this was a phenomenon. Definitely first-world problems.

Don't know about watches, but my wife has needed a new pair of shoes just because she had nothing that matched a new dress, and then a new purse and belt to go with the shoes, and then a jacket or a coat...
