I couldn't remember what prompted me to request it from my local library. It is excellent and I highly recommend. It would make a great gift for Christmas or anytime! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-good-book#post-818139 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 18:53:55 +0000 Inge 818139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't had a chance yet to read it either, Karie, but I put it in the December Fashion-Flavoured Holiday Gift Guide because the book and topic really interest me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-good-book#post-817451 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 22:39:10 +0000 Karie 817451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Kari, I wasn't here on YLF when that post was started. It'll be interesting to read all the responses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-good-book#post-817429 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 21:53:00 +0000 Caro in Oz 817429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karie - I have it on order from our library. It looks really interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-good-book#post-817252 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:31:33 +0000 Kari 817252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had to look it up, but here's a post I made on the subject a while back (too long to copy in this thread as a comment.). </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spice-it-up---and-some-musings-on-sustainable-fashion" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....le-fashion</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-good-book#post-817249 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:29:33 +0000 Kari 817249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karie, I've only read excerpts but need to read the book. I've found what I did read incredibly thought provoking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-good-book#post-817242 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:24:19 +0000 Karie 817242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Doing a little reading on this rainy, cool afternoon. Has anyone read "Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion?" by Elizabeth Cline? It's a very good read! </p> <p>When I was a child, I remember the huge department stores, Strawbridge &amp; Clothier, and John Wanamaker's in Phila., and while we only shopped there a few times a year, the clothes were so well made! </p> <p>What are your thoughts on cheap/fast fashion? Its impact on our closets / environment / economy? </p>
