So I'm new here and relatively new to caring about the way I dress to the point of paying premiums for better clothes. A little over a year ago, I started shopping at Barneys and knowing about companies like Rag and Bone and Common Projects.
So, now I'm a full-blown fashion-addict GQ subscriber Gilt shopper and general trendster (flame me for my language if you must). I'm wondering about keeping new clothes looking nice and how OCD one can get.
Take those lovely Common Projects Achilles low tops in white. How can you ever expect to keep them looking like that? And how can you ever go to a party where people are drinking wine without worrying about someone spilling or stepping on your toe?
Luckily, I kind of like distressed stuff like Levi's Vintage Clothing, so there I'm covered. But for things like my APC New Standard jeans or Shoto boots, I really find myself worrying in an annoying kind of way about my clothes.
Bottom line: I want to own my clothes; I don't want my clothes to own me. Any thoughts sartorial gurus?
