Building a wardrobe over time, saving up and investing in fewer well-made pieces, obsessing over the perfect hem, luxuriating in fabrics, and patching up and altering our clothes have become old-fashioned habits. But they’re also deeply satisfying antidotes to the empty uniformity of cheap. If more of us picked up the lost art of sewing or reconnected with the seamstresses and tailors in our communities, we could all be our own fashion designers and constantly reinvent, personalize, and perfect the things we own."<br /> Great for thought, especially for those who are trying to minimalize/cull their wardrobes or "shop their closets."</p> <p>I posted my thoughts, and a really interesting discussion about the sustainability/longevity of fashion ensued (this happened while you were gone over the weekend, and I thought you might be interested in reading the discussion yourself, Angie.)<br /> <a href="http://pencilskirtlife.lookfab.com/post/spice-it-up---and-some-musings-on-sustainable-fashion" rel="nofollow">http://pencilskirtlife.lookfab.....le-fashion</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-33#post-644463 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 20:29:50 +0000 velvetychocolate 644463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really enjoyed an eye-opening infographic at The Big Picture (an economics blog) recently - here's a snippet and a link to the blog posting:</p> <p>"In the U.S., Amazon captures one third of online sales. It's poised to control even more: Amazon's sales are growing four times faster than e-commerce overall. Amazon is doubling in size every 2-3 years, putting it on pace to be bigger than Wal-Mart by decade's end.
