Looking Fabulous is a requirement. Look good, feel good.
Fashion is important. Styles define us. Express us.
Looking fabulous is a great way of feeling confident.
It can be a tricky area tho.
Mass produced brand names slathered in logos and ads, produced by child slaves, or poverty conditions while the companies profit, bad environmental practices producing the fabrics, over pricing. crappy design, lack of quality.
But there is a Green solution.
Buy Second Hand.
Rummage second hand stores. The advantages are huge.
Uniqueness, price, a whole lot more environmentally friendly, socially conscious and locally supportive of charity/ business.
And its Stupendously Fun.
I find awesome clothing at incredible cheap prices, often classic labels.
for example, a st. Lawrence store on Chapel st, Melb, had a sale on, all jeans $3, and inside had a dollar rack. You cant go wrong. I found a brand new pair of jeans with a broken zipper. To get a zipper replaced cost $10. the jeans had a tag attached from the store they were donated from, and the original cost was $125. I saved $114.
Sizing is usually not a big issue, they do tend to have a huge range of clothing.
Always try on before buying. sometimes clothing is prestreched etc.
Do remember to Always thoroughly check clothing etc before purchase. most places wont refund, and sometimes shadowing is present, so get a look in decent lighting.
Ask if you can see anything out the back - it doesnt hurt to ask, and you'll get first dibs.
Oh, and don't forget to wash before wearing, or you'll smell like the store, and ALWAYS treat shoes and leather items for bacteria etc - even if they look new.
