I totally wear things more if I love them and know they are replaceable. Aside from comfort dressing, "saving" certain pieces was also one of my habits that I am trying to break.T.

I think I'm fairly confident about my personal style so I don't think it's a book for me, but it was fun reading about it. Maybe it's an age thing, but now I'm in my mid-40s most of what Tim writes seems to be just common sense to me - but it probably wouldn't be/wasn't as obvious in my 20s and early-30s.<br /><br />I also think, as you have said, that a lot of it doesn't really apply when you are sewing for yourself. One of the best things I have found since starting sewing is that I no longer save things "for best" (soul-stirring items as Tim puts it), because if I really, really love something I've made I can wear it as much as I want and then sew another one if it wears out, gets stained, etc. <br /><br />I've also, over the past few years, fallen into and then climbed out of the comfort trap. I feel a lot better out of it.ReadyThreadSewhttp://readythreadsew.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
