I'll go with the others that said who cares? I have a lot of cute things from hot topic I got on sale, when they do that 50% off already clearance items its too much of a steal not to stock up. Besides, in a few months when this blows over all the things in stores will be on sale because its not in style anymore, and then the likes of us can go to town
As much as I love DIY, I'm not going to be a prat and claim that I made every last scrap of clothing, buying new and ready made things is a luxury and why not take advantage of it? I don't have the time to sit around and sew for hours to look good, but I do enjoy it when I have the time and resources.
