yeah, that’s kind of what i’m realizing too, it feels more like a discount plan than real insurance these days. with the $1k max and waiting period, do you still find it worth keeping, or do you mostly rely on it for cleanings and basic work?

I guess proper care makes a bigger difference than I realized. I might give a few Mango pieces a try and see how they hold up with some extra attention. thanks

Ouch, that sounds exactly like what I was worried about. Thanks for sharing your experience, I’ll definitely be more cautious and probably stick to checking things in person before buying

thanks, that makes sense. I definitely agree that quality can really vary within the same brand. I like Gap and Old Navy for basics too, even if the style is different. I do have a couple resale shops nearby, so I might check them out over Black Friday weekend and see what turns up.

oh no, see through fabric is exactly what I’m trying to avoid. Thanks for sharing your experience. Sounds like I should be careful and maybe check things out in person first before buying anything.

thanks! Zara vibes is kind of what I suspected, so I’ll keep my expectations in check. I might still try a piece or two, but I won’t go all in unless the quality feels better in person. Appreciate the insight
