I do not agree with T-Shirts and trainers. You can see the difference in material and cut with a good t-shirt. Not saying designer but middle market. Especially after couple of washes. And trainers, obviously, you do not need designer ones but they should be by a sport brand, especially if you train/run in them. Your feet will thank you.

I was chatting with an assistant about their (high street) jeans and she said sometimes a higher price can just mean the style is popular – no improvement on quality at all. Luckily I have unfashionable taste 😄.

I always love seeing there is a new video to watch! I realize not every place has good thrift stores, but don’t forget that as an option when trying to buy quality items! You would not believe the cashmere, wool, designer items I have found at under $10!
I’d love to see a somewhat elevated lounge wear video that can also be worn out to run errands. No boots. No trousers. Super comfy with sneakers outfits that still look stylish;) Thank you!!!!!!
