Read this passage from The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton.

All her life Lily had seen money go out as quickly as it came in, and whatever theories she cultivated as to the prudence of setting aside a
part of her gains, she had unhappily no saving vision of the risks of the opposite course. It was a keen satisfaction to feel that, for a few months at
least she would be independent of her friends' bounty, that she could show herself abroad without wondering whether some penetrating eye
would detect in her dress the traces of Judy Trenor's refurbished splendour. The fact that the money freed her temporarily from all minor
obligations obscured her sense of the greater one it represented, and having never before known what it was to command so large a sum, she
lingered delectably over the amusement of spending it
The phrase "traces of Judy Trenor's refurbished splendour" refers to
1. clothing purchased in the last two months.
2. clothing of a European style
3 torn clothing
04 used and altered clothing
