Once you start on that route, it is also very difficult to disembark - we are mollified with talk of 'investment pieces' and 'staple wardrobes' while being manipulated by the turnover of fashion.Reddest Roarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01888389614407515461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679680415704254815.post-71421167812253020192011-01-08T02:51:41.472-08:002011-01-08T02:51:41.472-08:00Great belt...

I am with you on the loathing of fast fashion. Almost everything I buy lasts five years or more before I pass it along (and it is of a quality that it is still in great shape by then). My wardrobe is 10 per cent trendy and 90% timeless. That's the best way to be eco-friendly in my opinion: investment dressing.<br />www.forthoseabouttoshop.caAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04017169723889529653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679680415704254815.post-77780185116031948962011-01-06T19:06:05.943-08:002011-01-06T19:06:05.943-08:00Women have always cared about how they look.

I never have. A salesperson came up to me in the mall a while back and complimented me on my necklace which happen to be turquoise and said that's in now. I laughed because I had bought that necklace two years prior.<br /> I have always had to make my pieces work and remix them. <br /> <br />Your mom has great taste the jacket is beautiful.JTWisdomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12440093765425738170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679680415704254815.post-5169816109057910672010-12-30T17:47:27.219-08:002010-12-30T17:47:27.219-08:00Shy...Thanks so much!

I also hope to find a way to draw those types of women to the blogosphere so they can see how much fun and confidence-building fashion can be.<br />You look so great in this outfit!Pam @ over50feeling40https://www.blogger.com/profile/15271159201006142602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679680415704254815.post-91959033855163353872010-12-29T05:55:53.094-08:002010-12-29T05:55:53.094-08:00The cape is so cool and it looks really warm!!

And you're...Fabulous outfit. Bold and pretty.<br /><br />And you're right -- of course women cared about how they looked back then. The advent of cheap clothing came when we started to send manufacturing overseas (mostly to China). Even though women in the early part of the last century had to get more use out of their clothes, they still tried to look their best -- and usually did.Shybikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263331247319768989noreply@blogger.com
