"Clothes should be cherished, re-worn and even passed on to the next generation, Anna Wintour, the influential editor of Vogue magazine said, calling for more sustainability in the fashion world and less of a throwaway culture."   Anna Wintour, Editor in Chief, Vogue Magazine , recently wrote an article about purchasing only quality apparel.  I am in complete agreement and  Forever Chic Style has always adhered to this mantra.  A friend of mine who has a beautiful and fashionable everyday wardrobe of jeans, throws, boots, handbags stated, "We need to be thoughtful about buying clothing."  I agreed with her.   Will you wear the piece a lot?  Or will it sit in your closet for days or even years?   Think of Duchess Kate who adorns herself in the same dress or coat over and over again.  In other words, you need to cherish your clothing, wear it often and walk with ...
