My closet is heavily weighted towards the good-quality foundation garments as well. I'd estimate that only about 10% could be considered "disposable." And that 10% is mostly questionably constructed (but cute) tops from Forever21 and the like. I'm all with you on the cropped jacket--I have a small frame, and regulaly proportioned jackets just don't work for me :) How do you deal with the storage problem? I left a bunch of clothes at my parents' house and took over my sister's extra closet space, my hall closet, the closet in the spare bedroom at my grandmother's house, and I still run out of room in my own closet...

How do you deal with the storage problem? I left a bunch of clothes at my parents’ house and took over my sister’s extra closet space, my hall closet, the closet in the spare bedroom at my grandmother’s house, and I still run out of room in my own closet…

Am I one of the few who expects what she buys to last as close to forever as possible, and wears it that long? Regardless of whether I pay a lot or a little for something, I expect it to last, um, for <i>years.</i> I take care of it, I mend it, as needed, or get it relined, altered, etc., and wear it either in a new configuration or with an old favorite. I want to wear that cropped jacket next year, too - it suits my figure. I want to be able to wear it when no one is selling cropped jackets. Is that so unusual? Mind you, storage does get to be a bit of a problem ... Hmmm. Am I one of the few who expects what she buys to last as close to forever as possible, and wears it that long?
