What woman wears only one outfit for 60-plus years?*

When I need a fashion freshen and money is tight, I buy a lipstick.  If I can spare a little cash, a couple of new t-shirts can make a difference. But  if I’m feeling flush, the best single item to update last year’s clothes, is an awesome pair of boots. Wonder Woman, who appeared in this mod look, in 1968, doesn’t have to choose. She’s getting a complete re-d0. Check out her before and after –
