Do You Know What You're Wearing?...

I get very frustrated when things are overpriced or overrated in retail.  To me everything has a value and there are many contributions that go along with this value such as: Material-Raw Goods. What is the item made of? whats its care? Does it shrink, bleed easy, shred, peel, etc.  You always should know the basics of something before you decide to put it on.  Not many people understand these things.  Working for Nordstrom I see alot of different things throughout the day that are sold for $200 but the worth of it may be only $25 and that's because it is not made here in america. Why do we get so consumed in the NAME of items. I do admit however I am a "label whore" BUT I will not spend my money knowing that it is not good quality.  Never in your life should a women pay $100 for a polyester shirt!!!!!! PLEASE learn the difference between polyester and silk. I mean come on really. It feels different. Silk feels like soft butter and polyester feels like "not soft butter". Silk has a luxurious shine that stands out but polyester screams at you. Although many people can not tell the difference when you wear it; you will be upset when it starts to look like crap after a one time wear.  Please for your self go read on textiles and learn the different textiles and the way they feel. Learn and understand their characteristics and care. You Will be very happy you did!





Not Looking at the color... If you can not tell the difference between these two fabrics then GO LEARN. And yes this a blend with satin.
