What would you recommend for basics? :) <br /><br />Love your blog by the way!

I actually just told myself that I would stop buying clothes for myself at a very popular American "big-box" store because they are NEVER consistent in sizing, quality, etc. I actually find my favorite articles of clothing at the thrift stores (charity shops). Maybe it's because they are pre-shrunk, already loved, and stay out of the landfill!<br />That's for the words of wisdom as always,<br />Anna in California;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980463062804807807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147624999381821137.post-64816337862328931722013-09-16T12:26:22.096-07:002013-09-16T12:26:22.096-07:00"Too much of anything is when it's not be..."Too much of anything is when it's not being used or worn or appreciated, or when it is rather a hindrance than a blessing.<br /><br />A minimum is an amount that is helpful to your life, not limiting it for a lack that is consuming your time and thoughts."<br /><br />Perfectly put...because what's right for one person may not be for another. I too have pieces (jewelry, and other "artifacts") that are of historical value to my family, each carrying a story that I love to remember and tell to my children. I remember the stories being told to me, holding the items in my hand, and almost feeling like I was going back to that place and time. These things have value beyond decoration and status. In contrast, the latest pattern for curtains that only have use for a season or two...that's just consumption. <br /><br />I have similar ideas to yours when it comes to clothes...just enough so one has something to wear that is practical or professional...but not endless excess driven by fads or the need to be perceived certain way...It was such a relief to come to this point! Why did I waste so much time and money shopping, only to be left with the feeling of needing more? This is something I am trying to pass to my kids, as well.<br /><br />Thank you so much for posting.
