I totally agree with the "slow fashion" approach to the over-all wardrobe for all seasons.
New purchases are made on the basis of price per wear. Unless I have an existing wardrobe to compliment the new item, then I cannot justify the expenditure.
I do not understand the "need" to purchase every single item in a new colour.
One can only wear a certain amount of clothing in a season.
I was taught at early age that the display of more three items from a brand overstepped the line from elegance to vulgarity.
Hence the importance of a well thought out wardrobe for all seasons.
Whilst many might disagree, I agree with you that there are gems waiting to be found in the high street to compliment the more expensive items which are already part of our own collections.
The same applies to the Vintage items which are sitting in charity shops and even local table top events.
Pre-loved and pre-worn have a place in a sustainable wardrobe.
Whilst clicking on a purchase is easy, the satisfaction of finding a gem in a place which many feel is below them, is worth both the time and effort.
