Eva Mendes Wore Hand Me Down Clothing For 10 Years

Isn't this the way it is when you have siblings? I mean, you can't help but reuse clothing when there are several children in the family. It just makes sense.

Eva Mendes has admitted she wore her sisters’ old clothes for 10 years.
The ‘Hitch’ actress says money was tight when she was growing up so whenever
she needed new outfits she was always given hand-me-downs meaning she was
never fashionable.

“I have two sisters and a brother, although I’m the baby by 10
years. Growing up, it was like having two sets of parents; my siblings were
so protective, they were on me like hawks. I know all about having
hand-me-downs too.

Until I was 10 or 11, all I wore were my sisters’ old
clothes. My mother kept everything and re-dressed me. It didn’t matter that
a whole decade had passed and I was totally out of style!”

Eva, 35, is pleased she didn’t come from a rich family as it has made her
appreciate the money she has now.
She said in an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine:

“I wouldn’t change my
upbringing. It’s given me great values towards money and has made me really
appreciate everything I have. I’m not a spender or a shopper. I don’t find
pleasure in being frivolous with money.”

I wish I could say the same thing. I have a hard time with wanting... :) What's your vice? What can't you walk away from while shopping? So many things to choose from! LOL!
