Excessive Clothes and Food

Answer:

Yes, women are also commanded in the mitzvah of Kedoshim Tiyhu, not to over indulge in the physical world and not to obsess over food and clothing. Due to their unique role they have the opportunity to sanctify these two areas in particular, by dressing modestly and befitting of a Bas Yisrael, and to use food as a way to enhance Shabbos and Yom Tov.
