I share your sentiments about fabrics, wearing kids' clothes and furthering beauty in our world and our several lives. Having been a prodigal op-shopper throughout my adult years I have accrued a remarkable wardrobe which is quite orthogonal to fashion.
Today on my grocery shopping trip I wore: a white mink hat a lime green cashmere scarf a camel coloured cashmere turtleneck a cream leather overcoat white cotton flanelette pyjama pants with a floral print and camel coloured handmade (not by me) mediaeval style leather calf high boots. The obligatory mask ruined the whole outfit.
Thrift shop and secondhand items seem to be diminishing in quality along with the average commercial clothing product. If well made vintage comes along I now pay more for it happily. Designer is another matter... one sees increasingly less of that now ebay has such a large market presence. My last score in that area was in March '20 at the final local primary school secondhand market before the recurring lockdowns.
