Being a part of this younger generation so into the fashion and material scene can be a little costly as I've come to discover, as a member myself. While I love the thrill of a good, fashion-filled shopping spree, it can't compare to the feeling of having spent $90 bucks less on a silk caftam (made it myself) than if I had bought it off of the internet for $150-$400 from some pakistani website. I can be up in the newest trends, but I won't be broke doing it!

I think a lot of the time when we buy things like clothes, and jewelry, or accessories, we pay for the labor put into actually making it and designing it. So I like think of it as if I'm buying the materials and saving some money by not paying someone else to use them.

My craft is sewing, mostly, and beading (ANYTHING), so buying things that I can use over and over again is a plus.
