I'm trying to stop shopping cheap and start buying quality. I have a few leather bags (black, brown, grey, light red, turquoise) - I'm set for life. Shoes I'm limiting to 2 leather pairs annually. Clothes is a huge problem...
Trends and trash, how we are reckless and irresponsible. Everyone would read this by the way: http://www.etsy.com/blog/en/2011/the-tyranny-of-trends/ Esp ctrl-F "LNBjams" for his/her comment because plenty of truth in it. |

Yer lucky! I always wanted to wear Birkenstocks but my foot is too wide. I don't fit into the side curve of the footbed well enough. Stitchawl |

I have the wide one, and it was comfortable. The usual one hurt me like mad. |

Most folks in our commune wore Mexican huarache sandals or rubber flip-flops. They were a lot cheaper than Birkenstocks. Truth be told, I wore the rubber flip-flops or home-made moccasins. I'm really too much of a wuss to go barefoot on anything harder than carpet. Deep carpet. Stitchawl |

My favourite accessory is a compass necklace (brand new with Outfitters Girls tag) that I bought second-hand at Oxfam in London for 1/4 of the price. I feel proud being cheap! Students always ask if I have a tendency to lose my way around ![]() |

Well people, after all that politically correct stuff I said earlier, I went to a Club 21 bazaar and got shoes and clothes. It's quite a nightmare.

OK, I promised a photo when I was next in my kilt. Apologies for the poor quality - an iPhone 3G doesn't do too well with indoor lighting. The kilt is in a tartan known as Roxburgh Muted Red.
