I do it for ethical reasons, but also to "retrain" myself into buying more quality pieces and to feel the "pain" associated with a big purchase. It helps me not to impulse buy and to think about how I spend more.Emileigh https://www.blogger.com/profile/13683866769745929646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-57143007971871097102016-04-20T15:06:32.355-05:002016-04-20T15:06:32.355-05:00Excellent questions.

I think that a very sizable amount of the issue (re: your last point) lies in the fact that many (if not most) of us the world over have become extremely accustomed to low priced clothing and do not (often at least) budget for more expensive pieces on a regular basis, often eschewing quality over quantity. Gone are the days when magazines like Seventeen laid out a strict sum and suggested how a person spend it on their wardrobe over the course of a season, year, or sometimes even longer, encouraging items to be bought and invested in one or two at a time. We now have big closets teeming with even larger wardrobes and would need a fairly radical shift in our personal budgeting to return to the way most people clothes shopped even just a few decades ago. Given the already frequently stained pocketbooks of many folks, I don't think that would be an easy thing to - pun not really intended - sell and such may only come about on any kind of large scale if peoples' economic situation truly necessitates it.<br /><br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.com
