ARTISAN LIFESTYLE , NOT American made, poor quality, something is horribly wrong here!
Its a sad day in America when a woman with a pocket full of credit cards can go to a mall spend four hours desperately shopping and come home empty handed. I WANT to shop.I WANT to give them my money But they must not want it. The clothing in my size is all made for muffin topped tank shirt wearing teenagers or little old ladies who love stretch wastebands. And the quality is so poor at every single store I was amazed. I found a suit at Macys that was cute.... I put it on and it fit... I buckled the belt and the belt loop fell off? Then on to JC penney where I found a pair of pants I liked...... The zipper popped as I was taking them off.... and no they were not too tight. Then I found a pair of suede boots, put them on and stood up and the heel broke. What is this when the quality of merchandise available to american shoppers is so poor that the stuff cant even make to the cash register before it breaks? Oh and did I mention.... Not one single item did I find in the whole mall made in the USA. Even grand patriotic names like American Eagle Outfitters.... It was all made in china. There is something horribly wrong here! Am I the only one who is noticing?.... And what am I supposed to wear?

You and I are both in that weird moment in life - we don't want to look like pre-teen hookers OR like Martha Stewart's grandmother. I rarely find anything when I shop, and I'm not even looking for the Made in USA label. But speaking of that, I will be very interested in how this search goes - do share your findings. I mostly buy used, but when I buy new I don't want disposable clothes.
ReplyDeleteFound some decent casual ladies boots at Red Wing. I tried American Apparel, but I'm not a 19 year old unisex college student. Yeah there are some online places to buy quality American made clothing, but I NEED to try clothes on before I drop $75 on a pair of jeans. I will keep searching for quality products ... but it aint lookin' good right now. Thanks for the comment ... Its nice to know I'm not alone in this quest.
ReplyDeleteI purchased a book awhile back on how to sew medieval peasant clothing - I'm seriously considering simply dressing like a medieval peasant. No point in continuing to pretend I'm middle class when I'm living on the dole ;-)
ReplyDeleteI found a site that carries Edwardian patterns..... I might just go all 'titanic' .... since everything seems to be sinking anyway!
