All to often, some fashionistas refuse to divulge the sources of their clothing or their methods because of fear of assimilation. Your openness is refreshing. :) Ariel, thank you for your generous fashion advice and suggestions.

treasure troves still exist in some places, but they’re getting harder and harder to find, so i find myself withering away in denial in new clothing stores, recoiling at 70$ for a pair of pants and leaving with nothing until the straits get really dire. :)

i think i actually need to go more in the other direction and have more basic, comfortable stuff that’s more versatile

I love them, but it's almost impossible to find their clothes online — although you can email them and ask which shops are carrying their stuff: http://www.3freenyc.com/where-to-buy/ Oh and Kate, those dresses are from 3 Free NYC, who are linked in the post.
