DIDEROT EFFECT

”The Diderot Effect states that obtaining a new possession often creates a spiral of consumption that leads to additional purchases. “

You can spot this pattern everywhere. You buy a dress and have to get new shoes and earrings to match. You buy a couch and suddenly question the layout of your entire living room.
