Also, buying multiples of something that works is an approach I'm using more often these days, but that probably has to do with not doing quite as much thrift store shopping as I used to. It is turning out to be very comforting to have something that works, and to have more than one of it, though I am finding that color turns out to be an even bigger deal to me than I thought, which given the whole artist thing is saying something.
I still love thrift store / secondhand store shopping, though. And buying stuff directly from people who make it, when that's possible (affordable, findable, not a hassle) to do, is great, because every time I wear the stuff I'm made happy by that thing of "I met a person who made this!"
