I have been a personal stylist for several decades [yikes] and am so often amazed how our most of my clients want everything immediately. Find the 'right' pieces takes time, alterations take time [quality alterations] and building the looks takes even more time. In the end, they're fortunately very happy but the 'conversation' about how quality wardrobes require some time is, well, trying. :) kudos to you shannon. <br />Esp because my personal favorite is #2!<br />best wishes for your continued success ~tashia maitland-rahlhttp://www.thehlncompany.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6310399481533841878.post-73433575289711335252013-03-19T19:17:59.740-07:002013-03-19T19:17:59.740-07:00Great post!

I've been doing that since I was at the tail end of my twenties. And I'm in my mid-forties now. <br /><br />Your list (and explanations) is great; I'm not knocking it at all. But in the last few years it seems like the rest of the world has started to catch on to some of those things. To me, it just makes good sense. <br /><br />I don't buy a lot, but when I do purchase I spend a fair amount of money on my items and expect (hope!) that they will last for years. I have been buying signature jewelry pieces / shoes / bags / scarves for years and years, because I love them. I don't worry about what's currently "in fashion" - unless it's something like a color I love, or a specialty item that is hard to find....and then I shop like crazy while it's "in style" and wear it for years after. <br /><br />It sounds like you and I are quite on the same page! Thanks for such a great blog - been enjoying it regularly since I found it a few months ago. Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10158062070312010146noreply@blogger.com
