And FTR, I can see the value in investing in a few high quality classic pieces that will see you through many years. Most people just can't afford to do that for their entire wardrobe and/or don't want to be stuck wearing those same pieces ad infinitum. You can get tired of a $300 shirt just as easily as a $20 one.

I have a female family member who was well revered in terms of beauty in high school, and also won best dressed or something along those lines for her class. She makes very good money now, and still maintains a sense of fashion, and she has always shopped with money in mind. This isn't to say she goes out and buys a bunch of crap, she realizes that companies have their "cycles" of clothing, and if you buy them once they aren't "in-season", they are much cheaper, as well as looking out for good sales. One of the biggest issues with women, is that most of them aren't going to wear an outfit more than a handful of times. They might get one item they are attached to for a bit, but then it never gets worn again. I compare this to myself; I will spend a few hundred on a nice jacket, knowing damn well I am going to run that thing into the ground. All this "ironic" hipster-tier clothing absolutely baffles my mind. Expensive =/= quality. |

Models look the way they do because the designer wants you to look at their clothes not the models. No make-up hair pulled back, no tan, homogenous people - helps you to not see them and focus on the clothes.

I've just sent a text to my sweetie asking for her to please explain this fashion. I'll post her expert opinion on why this is somehow good in the morning.
To be clear,she doesn't design or make expressly functional clothes and her stuff is not cheap. A pair of jeans from her is around €300 but are fitted and made by hand in Eesti rather than cranked out in Turkey or Indonesia. I'll post a couple of her things in a second Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
