Isn't it funny that in a day and age when "do your own thing" is still being touted that the fashion industry wants everyone to fit a mold - the one they decide!! What happened to individuality and creativity? Or are the only creative people those who decide what shade of blue will be in in any given year. Off with their heads! I could go on and on, but I won't. They do more damage than they are worth. Good luck with your projects in 2008. Keep up the great thinking, my dear!

You? But you are so lovely! Don't be silly. I agree with you- most mass produced things are subpar to the things that can be obtained by simply making them yourself. If I had enough time, I would sew everything I wear, but as it is I can only manage an average of one dress every three weeks. “Low self image”? You? But you are so lovely! Don’t be silly.

I'd like to use ebay for clothes but I do really like to be able to see the clothes before I buy them, not necessarily try them on because most of the time you just know if they'll fit! I like to be able to smell them too, lol is that wierd?! I think for thrifted clothes its something you need to do though! It's just so depressing when you walk into retail shops and theres just so much junk with absolutely nothing you like or would ever consider buying, and like you said, the nice stuff is entirely overpriced which is ridiculous and unfair!

By the way, you are lovely and so beautiful...you have a striking beauty. : ) I also agree about Anthropologie.....I love to look at all the pretties...but I cannot afford them....the drool worthy catalogues give me ideas about combining accessories and patterns into my wardrobe. :) E-bay is hard....I always seem to get out bid....but sometimes you can find treats, too! : ) oh, I agree wholeheartedly!! : ) I have never cared a stitch about what is in fashion.
