She said,

“I recycle my outfits once in a while; especially the ones I am comfortable with. “I like the outfits that I wear, so I don’t mind repeating them once in a while. In fact, I have a pair of sandals that I particularly like; they match with most things. And, why not? Why should celebrities not be able to repeat or wear stuff they like? she asked, adding, “Why is it that when I wear my favourite outfit twice, it’s circled, zoomed in and runs with an unkind caption like ‘fashion offender’ or `she cannot afford it’; what bullshit. I can afford it, but maybe this is my favourite pair of jeans and I want to wear it three times. It’s cool to repeat outfits and I am going to do it. I repeat my outfits all the time. I hate the fact that people believe that singers and actresses should not repeat clothes. As a woman who loves fashion, there are certain things in my closet that I can’t live without and I wear them over again and again because they make me feel a certain way. I just don’t view fashion in a disposable way.”
