I love cheap clothes and I cannot lie! I feel like my reasons are pretty valid. First, I have committed to owning my first home in the next 5 years and therefore have also committed to seriously curbing my spending during that time. Also, running around showing apartments all day is a sweaty business (and nothing impresses clients less than a pit-stained $1500 Chanel blouse), so washable/disposable clothes are more valuable to me than expensive clothes. Finally, I am heavier today than I plan to be in 2-3 years, so 'investment pieces' aren't logical for me.

Cheap, cheap clothes with comfy flats, a good piece of jewelry and a beautiful status bag or accessory are my uniform.

I'm not trying to be fashionable per se, I'm just trying to do the best I can on a very tight budget. I totally get the problems involved with fast fashion, and I sympathize with it. I buy cheap clothes and wear them until I literally can't anymore (as in, splitting the thighs on jeans), I don't buy new cheap clothes every week.

I like shopping H&M in person, and then ordering online. The sales inventory is better online, there's frequently a 20% off discount code as well, shipping is fast and reliable, and returns can be made in-store. Plus, I like trying on clothes in the privacy of my home: those halogen lit dressing rooms really push any small level of self-esteem I have right through the floor.
