I can always find great...fast fashionish clothes for $5-$6! I won't shop from retail outlets myself. The human and environmental cost is too great. Fast fashion causes really fast turnover - people want the newest style or color. I also think stuff shrinks more and we change size, causing even more stuff to end up at thrift stores.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’m not sure how long clothes will last with the quality of duds dropping so I hesitate to call them vintage, but thrift stores seem to be thriving!

Shopping in person! I think it's way too hard to try and do it online. But if you absolutely had to, I'd measure a pair of your favorite jeans, and then ask the seller to provide measurements of the jeans you're looking at and see how the two compare. Between vanity sizing and years of washing and drying, the tag size is almost pointless!]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://seasons-and-salt.com/2017/02/28/vintage/#comment-6198">Andrea</a>.</p> <p>Shopping in person!

It is definitely on the warm side! That is so cool that you remember them from the 90's. I remember a lot of 90's fashion but not these. I love the quality of it, and of course the texture.

Minimalist fashion is such a small world! Also, I'm with you on the pilling issue...I wonder what it is about newer manufacturing that even more expensive things pill, it's not just the fast fashion that seems to do it.

I completely agree about piling on vintage sweaters. It's virtually nonexistent. I don't understand why I have decades old cashmere that looks terrific while my newer sweaters look worn and pill terribly. If anyone knows what he answer, please share. Regarding the saddle bag, do you think it would fit an iPad? I've been looking for a structured messenger bag that isn't too heavy and this might do the trick. Thanks so much!]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Great outfit, Andrea! I completely agree about piling on vintage sweaters. It’s virtually nonexistent.

I know that there are genuine skin irritation concerns for some people, but overall I think we've convinced ourselves that we need the softest fibers at all times for all garments, when really we just need our next to skin layers to be soft, and we can stand for our outer layers to be made of more coarse wool. Cashmere cardigans are lovely (and super low micron) but they just don't wear as long and well as cardigans made from mid-grade or high micron wool, like those classic "fisherman" style cardigans. Yours is gorgeous, by the way :)]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Note on pilling from a wool / textile history nerd: softer wool has a lower micron count (basically a measurement of fiber diameter) and shorter fibers, so it pills more easily.
