Fashion has been on my mind a lot lately but
not so much in questioning what I was wearing any given day.
I had been feeling things about the whole rigmarole of
fashion and trends and economic side effects
but I kept telling myself I was becoming the old fart
swore I'd never be.

But then like some of you I presume,
I watched "The True Cost" which is still on Netflix
in the UK and it solidified exactly what I'd been feeling.
If you haven't watched, it really is a must watch film.
I know that there are many crazy things happening in the world right now but this is one that actually affects our daily lives.

Clothes are a necessity still.
That trend will never change.
But it seems without exaggeration that a purchase of an item
of clothing is as political as casting a vote for the next leader
your respective country.

But what can a civilian do?
Shares on Facebook feeds and a feeling of deflation right before you bite into a donut or drink.
I have been reviewing long term my relationship with items and physical objects.
It's a mid life thing I suppose.
I'm torn between "collecting" and a genuine attempt of collecting.
But during my last renovation,
I felt embarassed by the things I had.
I was never a frequent shopper to begin with but the forced move out of my house slowed that even further.

In the spirit of buying fewer but better,
I thought I would do an ongoing series of short posts to share with you some items that have lasted at least 5 years but
I will aim for at least a decade or so.

It would be fun to see what readers who blog have as well that have survived a decade or so. It might help us all when we go shopping not to waste money, time and resources?
So let's get down to business.
The shoes that have survived moves to Australia, New York, London, and Asia / renovations / wardrobe swaps are the following pair of Chanel flat two textured half patent half leather slingbacks.
These shoes were bought in.
Drumroll please........
20 years ago.
They were bought because I had my first serious job interview and I thought I'd be having a few more of those so would be used regularly.
The cost was justified because feet usually stay the same size unlike jeans.
