Girl, you are too kind!

I’m anti-cardboard for sure. Bad feeling fabrics make my skin crawl!

How you could worry about a skirt being to short at 45 as you currently look like a 20 year old is beyond me!! Seriously, you must have some scary, wrinkling painting in a closet somewhere. The fast fashion really is scary. I’m over buying things that will feel like cardboard 5 wearings in.

You make a really good point (points actually), fashion is a very strong weapon but it is easier to ignore that fact than to actually put some thought into all a simple piece entails.
And also all my clothes seem to last forever without regard to where I bought them mainly because of lots of luv.

What a great post to read!

I look back now and realize that I have so much clothes already at 24, but that a lot of it, I have had for years and years. Even the H&M stuff I bought five years ago is still with me.

I think it is more a matter of how you take care of your clothes. Also because any clothes,expensive or not will have some wear and tear. I've used my sewing skills to mend everything, my clothes lasts five times as long. Where as another person might not be able to use something because the seams are coming apart, buttons falling off, etc..

Ive bought enough good vintage and crap vintage to realize this. Shoot, even Kate Moss couldnt save her vintage Dior dress, it ripped to shreds by the end of the night.

But I also think some people just have bad luck with clothes. Not all retail is equal, if it's falling apart when you wear it, it probably was falling apart when you bought it. A small inspection would have told you which top you should have gotten instead.
