195 | Fabrics 101: How to Test Quality and Know Which Materials Will Stand the Test of Time

If you've been striving to invest in fewer but better pieces in your wardrobe, then today's Q&A Thursday episode is one you do not want to skip. Thanks to a handful of questions sent in by our friend, Claudia, I'm covering everything you need to know about selecting high-quality fabrics, avoiding sweaters that pill at the very first wear, and why some pieces cost significantly more than others even when they're made from the exact same materials!   I know the challenges of trying to read fabric labels, evaluating which brands are best, trying things on, and still struggling to find clothing items that stand the test of time. Let's solve as many of these struggles as we can today.   But first, before we get into this episode, I want to let you know that I have just 3 Q&A Thursday spots left in 2024!
