When I shop, I am adding to my wardrobe.Right now, I only have 3 pairs of pants - I just can't find any that fit properly. I do have places that carry a lot of basic styles that I like so I will fill in with those. If it is trendy and I like how it looks , I will wear it for ten years. the years of pastel - I don't buy clothes.

I can usually manage to find boot-cut jeans despite the skinny jeans trend
I have been looking for a decent pair of boot cut jeans that fit well and flatter and don't cost $200 for 3 years now. Fucking skinny jeans can bite me.
(Note, I could try going shopping for jeans more often than once a year, but given how rotten my luck is, I don't have the heart to go more often.)

ita, do you know Alan Emtage? He went to McGill. A bit before you, I guess?

Burrell, have you tried thrift stores? They're lousy with boot cuts right now. What I'd like is some pants that have a decent rise on them. I feel like most of the ones I own are an inch or two too short and I kept trying to hike them up. Not a good look.

I have a fashion question: How much does a given "look" for a season affect what you buy and wear?
When Victorian/ "romantic" styles are in fashion, I take advantage of sales and wait for post-season clearances. All the velvet skirts and lace blouses will be MINE!
Do you find it so difficult to find the stuff you like that you don't shop or you give up and buy what's in stores?
I hit thrift stores. And I buy items from places like Fan + Friend and ChicStar, which are specialty places that cater to fans of eccentric clothing.

Yeah, I was just going to say: thrift stores. The Good Will a quarter-mile from my house has a ton of jeans, almost all boot-cut, for about $10. Some of them are over $100 new.

Yes, you do want that jacket!
I keep hoping I'll find a specific dress from Newport News/ShapeFX while thrift shopping, but no such luck. Of course, the dress was originally from 2004-ish, so I'm not entirely surprised I haven't found one.

This is the dress. Such a good layering piece! [link]
