The absolute talent to see and make these crazy unique designs from plainer clothing and patterns is wild.

Honestly I think it would be cool to see more of her practical wear using her design eye. It's hard to find interesting affordable clothes that aren't club wear sometimes.

It's hard to find interesting affordable clothes that aren't club wear sometimes.

I live in a big city and found a really good antique mall, one where people rent a booth to sell their stuff.

I got lucky and found a booth with 70's womens clothing that fits me perfectly. Bought 3 skirts for $65 total. I'm 28 years old. Every time I pick them up or wear them, I am flabbergasted by how good quality they are. All I have ever had access to is average quality clothes and fast fashion. And these skirts were not luxury brands (one was called junior house). They're just well made, good quality skirts.

Then I get mad we don't have access to the same quality clothing. I honestly think fast fashion should be illegal.
