This is what a clothing studio use to look like before everyone sent their work off shore. The almighty buck shouldn't be the thing that influences your decision. "Guess how little I paid" shouldn't be the first thing out of your mouth when someone compliments you on your new purchase. Unfortunately the idea of getting things as cheap as possible has almost been ingrained into our psyche. The store that shall not be named, (I actually don't say it's name and never shop there), has been trying to convince us that we need lots of stuff and because they sell it cheap you better buy lots. The one who dies with the most crap accumulated doesn't necessarily win. The one who helps her neighbour keep her job by shopping local is the one that wins. The person who buys that beautifully tailored dress made by the woman in the little shop downtown wins. Buying fewer, well made, locally made dresses may cost you more money upfront but in the long run it will cost you less. Let's all stop buying into this disposable clothing mentality. Buy one thing you love, wear it, enjoy it and bring it out of your closet as often as possible for as long as possible.
