Update

I'm still here.  So far, so good.  Soon I'll have a report on quality.  In the meantime I wanted to drop a few notes here.

First, I'm a bit disappointed that one of my fair trade organic cotton socks that I've owed for about 6 weeks already has a hole in the bottom. I didn't wear this pair of socks excessively.  I would guess I've worn them about a dozen times.  I doubt I snagged it on anything.  It's just worn. 

Second, and this is totally on me, I have a stain on one of my new tunics.  This has been a frequent problem of mine.  Doesn't matter when you are spending only a few bucks on a shirt.  But, when your spending $40.00+ it hurts.  I've worn the shirt only a few times and now I can't wear it anymore.  I guess I should start bringing a stain remover with me wherever I go.  The thing is I didn't know I had a stain until I washed it.  It was a really small stain.  Don't even know how I did it.  If this keeps up it's going to get rather expensive.

Third, as I've already discussed in the previous post there is an unintended consequence - I have discovered I don't need as many clothes.  I've slashed the amount of clothes in my closet.  My hope is to slash some more.  It's not just the wanting to have fair trade/living wages, etc. clothing.  I've also been loosing weight so I've been getting rid of a lot of my clothing naturally.   I want to keep the number of clothes down even after I loose weight.  I'll keep a limited amount of clothes of quality.  However, what I don't know is come fall I might have to buy clothes that are second hand/not fair trade, etc. because it just might be too expensive otherwise.  (I did allot for this in my very first post- if I loose more than 10% of my body weight I'm allowed to...and I've already exceed 10%.  Another unintended consequence?  Maybe.)

Soon I'll post on how to identify quality, etc.
