24: clothes

"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?"
Matthew 6:28-30

i'm learning to live more into this, but it's really difficult. i like having clothes that are comfortable, fit well, and look good. i also would like to stop purchasing things from companies who don't care very much about the poor. this is very difficult to do, sometimes that i think will be a lifelong process.

at the current point in time, and for a few years now, my favorite place to buy clothes has been gap. their mediums fit me well, and they look good. they're probably my most trusted staple. recently i've been buying a few things here and there at urban outfitters. i love the bdg thermals they carry. they're so soft, and the fabric is sweet because i can wear it for days without it starting to smell. when i dry them, i dry them flat so they don't shrink. i do enjoy clothes.
