Buyer Beware!
Fads and trends that go out of date quicker than milk, make you broke and become filler for the clothes cupboard.
That cute bubble skirt, harem pant or catsuit today, can be a source of shame and debt, no matter what the 'Label or "Brand'.
Just cos it's designer, doesn't mean it'll stay "IN" indefinitely.
If you got it on sale, chances are, you'd better wear it to bed because it was already on it's way out.
A bargain is only a bargain if you'll actually wear it!
Don't get me wrong, deals can be found, all I'm saying is that the faddy-label stuff is best left on the rack.If you must have that bubble skirt, get the 'Supre' knock off version, so when you're done, you can chuck it!
I have that many clothes it is embarrassing. I have hung onto clothes I have loved, frocks that don't fit, jeans that have dated and shoes that are squashed and have a funny tongue thingy going!
Stuff that has cost me way too much to get rid of!
Sad isn't it!
The tiny stuff I have managed to pass on or even ebay, but some things I just cannot part with.
If I have forked out a pay packet for it, I just can't let it go.
It may come 'IN' again, right?
If, down the track, these things do come back into fashion and I have had a superb 'pair of' or
'colour in' that item, and got rid of it, I stew.
As a result, I have a vault of what can only be described as 'Costume Clothing'.
All my friends know where to come if they have a fancy dress or bad taste party. I have it all..
Boas, Platforms ( still very cool), vests, jackets, tassels, leathers, low waists, high waists, pantsuits, jumpsuits, catsuits... you get the picture.
The thing is, you have to work out your purchase cost per wear ratio.
If you have paid a bomb for something and only wear it once then it cost you that entire amount to wear it. BUT, if you paid top shop for it and wore it everyday and then to bed , then it really was worth the grocery sacrifice.
The sizes....
Well that really is another matter...
