“Most women”-maybe-but not this woman-my jeans and flannel shirts for work/everyday come from the online cheap clothing places-$8 to $15 per item-same for skirts/dresses and sweaters to wear out to dinner. I do spend more on boots-both for work and nicer wear, but I would never spend my hard-earned money on “designer” brands even if I had the money to spend-country people aren’t impressed by that crap anyway...
Wise to spend extra on good footwear. I do - it makes my wife wince occasionally - but cheap shoes hurt my feet. Name brand? I guess so, but it’s not vanity, it’s practicality.
I plan on using my feet for a long time and they need to last!
Key to fashion is having it fit your frame well.....and knowing what suites your particular frame. Far too many woman haven’t a clue. A gal can look outstanding in less expensive clothing if she knows these facts.
A seamstress is worth their weight in gold.
