Capsuling has made me reconsider the way I buy clothes- both the quantity and the quality. I want quality, well-made clothing that comes from people being treated right, but I also love getting quality well-made things on the cheap. I think I'll have to do some more soul-searching on this one, because my budget is low and my needs are high. Thanks for your thoughts!

Oh how I hate waiting, but that is such a great point Maggie! I think waiting it character building though, and it allows for less buyers' remorse, and it allows me to save longer and have more buying power when trying to buy ethically. Speaking of your black skinnies, have you tried <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/paige-denim-transcend-skyline-skinny-jeans-black-shadow/3756383?origin=category-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=&resultback=1374" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Paige</a>? I have a pair by them that are absolutely amazing. They are spendy, but they don't stretch out as much as other denim, and they are made in the USA! They make ultra skinny ones too.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://seasons-and-salt.com/2015/07/17/slow-fashion-crossroads/#comment-285">Maggie</a>.</p> <p>Oh how I hate waiting, but that is such a great point Maggie!

Great points Leah. I have definitely cut out certain retailers, but then there are others that I am unsure of their ethical standards. Perhaps this is where you can help me!]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://seasons-and-salt.com/2015/07/17/slow-fashion-crossroads/#comment-286">Leah</a>.</p> <p>Great points Leah.

I have two thoughts and the first is probably the more painful - patience. I think that waiting (and waiting and waiting and...) will often net the perfect piece on all counts. However, sometimes you won't or can't wait. Honestly? I'm not waiting to replace my black skinnies. I fought the hole but it won, and as soon as I can get out to find a replacement, done deal. They're just too essential for my wardrobe. So I may not buy the most perfectly conscious pair out there, but here's why I think that's...not the worst, maybe? Because I'm going to buy a pair that I LOVE. That fit like a dream. That will last. That I'll wear for days, weeks, months and years - until they're ready to become insulation - and that's not a bad baby step toward conscious consumerism. I hope!]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Part of the balance, agreed. I have two thoughts and the first is probably the more painful – patience.
