Fibers

Cardigan: Target. Shirt: TJ Maxx. Jeans: Charlotte Russe. Earrings: craft fair.

I like clothing longevity. It's not great when an article of clothing after six months or less no longer looks unwearable.  What I learned over the past year was to pick out either a blend of natural and synthetic fibers with a higher content of natural fibers or natural fibers. Natural fibers are cotton, wool, linen, etc. Synthetic fibers are polyester, spandex, rayon, etc. Synthetic fibers pill after a couple of months or year if your lucky (I'm not lucky.). Then pilling just gets so bad that it's time to retire that favorite shirt or else.  I have had success with some synthetic fabrics such as polyester.

This knowledge has had me searching for the tags and looking carefully at the fabrics used to make clothes.  I know I'm late, but I do like the color mustard now.
