I was reading a magazine the other day and they recommended a book by Elizabeth L Cline called Overdressed The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion.  It instantly hit a note with me and now I am waiting for it to arrive in the mail.

In the meantime I have been reading some of Elizabeth´s articles and I found these two quite intriguing: What´s Behind Cheap Chic Fabrics? and The History of a Cheap Dress. I am certainly no saint when it comes to cheap fashion but  I believe it is better to be informed when choosing to buy something. Being aware is the first step.
