A Point of Clarification

Glancing Girl here …

I thought I might clarify just one little thing.

Although I post images of clothing, jewelry, handbags, shoes, etc. from all across the internet and from a wide variety of places {department stores, couture designers, etsy shops, etc.}, I still find most of my true loves in resale shops.

{of course, this is a practice I highly endorse}

I often spot a piece that I love but has a price tag out of my reach, or I just feel like obtaining it in a more sustainable way. I’ll keep an image of that item in my memory and search for either something very like it {or even the very item itself} gently*loved in a resale shop.

{i cannot tell you how often this has worked for me}

But I do admit to enjoying supporting independent boutiques, etsy shops, and local designers.

{especially local designers}

And, of course, who can resist a posh department store from time to time?

I just try to remember the values I hold – shopping locally, shopping sustainably, and committing myself to recycling what no longer works for me!
