I too do not pay to advertise goods for something I paid for :). On another topic, I have invested in several types of Woolite (dark & color versions) and wash my "Dry Clean Only" flight attendant uniforms (rayon, and wool blends) in the washing machine in warm/cold cycle and hang to dry. They look great after years of wear. Thank you for your insight. I too do not pay to advertise goods for something I paid for :) .

I go for the quality of the material, whether it will wash or not and by purses as to whether they are well made, big enough, have at least one outside compartment as well as other compartments. I'm with you on the tags. Loved the part where someone came up to you and asked if it was a certain designer and your answer was nope thrift store and there the conversation abruptly ended. I shop at local thrift stores all the time (have to now financially) but did so even before now....Not a problem to me to get something at the thrift store for even sometimes as low as 99 cents compared to what it cost the snob at the regular price in the Mall. I always look at it this way I am not ashamed to shop at the thrift store nor wear my great finds, if someone else has a problem with me wearing clothing from the thrift store I very much see that as an issue and problem for them and not me and they can always go the other direction and I would much prefer if they did so..... Good for you. Darci Loved this very much.

This is due to the fact the majority, (excluding myself, my mum and you of course! lol) have been suckered into a career of advertising for numerous fashion designers, without ever being paid to do so! In fact, as you know, they pay the designers first! I just love this post, you had me going especially when you wrote that they should just enlarge the price tags, laminate them and pin them to their collar- that was perfect! I'm with you on this one. I believe this all began in the 1980's when designer jeans hit the stores, fancy labels prominently, elegantly, stitched into the materials back-side, front-side you name it side! -Thank you so much, for reminding those who have never known- there was a time when, we did not! and would not! ever! wear/advertise a fashion label!! ~ great post Annie! :) Annie, I suppose I am not too surprised no one has commented on this post.
