It’s getting easier to find designer knockoffs nowadays with stores like H&M creating facsimiles within weeks of a new look’s debut, and high-profile designers making low-cost offerings for Target. But Fashionista.com points out you can still buy high-end designer apparel for at or near the cost of knockoffs if you’re willing to shop around some and wait for sales.
Words to live by, I say.
I love your blog! I love clothing but hate cosumerism and right now I’m trying to buy less and better. So it’s a good read 🙂
Thanks!
That’s real cotton chenille in my dress. I got the spread in some things that were being thrown away. My CPW is already in the negative region!
I meant to ask to which incident you were referring…
We got a chenille throw as a wedding gift. I failed to look at the tag before putting it in the washer and then the dryer. It absolutely disintegrated in the dryer and sent huge clouds of beige polyester fluff floating all over the balcony of our apartment (where the dryer vented).
ooooooohhhhh. That dryer incident of 2001!
