That's why I always pick something from the bottom of the pile or back of the rack, and smell it first- on the rare occasion I buy retail! I saw that window myself last week, I was outraged. Make do and mend represents the polar opposite of everything Sportsgirl (indeed any fashion franchise) stands for. I was left wondering if they sell sewing kits now and will give you free classes on how to mend the clothes you buy from them. Until next year when they're out of fashion.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00552220520085713818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053562711351336005.post-40594993627909439002011-04-13T16:03:40.496+09:302011-04-13T16:03:40.496+09:30I recently started collecting some of my long grey...I recently started collecting some of my long grey hairs....would like to stitch with it on dark coloured linen...<br />I reckon that there are are lot of very special stories around hair...Ursula Achtenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12978137253135755217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053562711351336005.post-62807936238986494322011-04-12T22:26:41.986+09:302011-04-12T22:26:41.986+09:30gross and unethical surely to sell brand new cloth...gross and unethical surely to sell brand new clothes and that once worn are actually used secondhand clothes. should at least say that they have been worn. i suspect a lot of shops do this practice. should give staff radical discounts and freebie sales incentives so that they wear their own clothes. and the hair. do u know that mine is now ALL GONE too. just a bit left on top. there's something in the water me thinks. xAhipara Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08379542516074480446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053562711351336005.post-61537997436988617292011-04-11T18:53:18.429+09:302011-04-11T18:53:18.429+09:30I want that hair!
