[quote=Anonymous]We make way less than you, OP, and have always shopped at second-hand stores, brick and mortar or online. I prefer it, because I usually don't like current trends. Some essentials we buy new, and the rest are curated from old collections that make their way into consignment shops. It gives my outfits a little flair, because they're not the usual suburban mom uniform. Same thing for our furniture - it's a mix of lovely estate sale finds, and some IKEA solid wood stalwarts that go well together, because I have an eye for decor. Same thing for the garden - I like to source plants online that aren't the usual things people pick up at Home Depot, and I don't make the average landscaper's mistake of mulching away half my yard. The end result looks interesting, and not a copycat version of the neighbor's. "Style" means that you add a little thoughtful originality to your life. It doesn't mean paying more. Your mistake is that you're not putting thought into it. [/quote]
