Ever rummage through your drawers only to find a button? You raise your arms up in a half shrug, look around, and wonder, where the bleep did this come from? Where does this button go? What coat does it belong to? Does it belong to my BCBG work top? Dammit, it looks like that small button for that cheap cotton tank from Target… And you wonder how a little piece of plastic can get you all undone.
After I am done shopping I make it a big deal to take that extra button (in the ziploc/ or sewn onto a strip of cloth) and I write a little note on either the tag or on a separate piece of paper, stating the button’s rightful owner. My tags would say something like: button for red dress, sample sale 06/08. I will then staple the note to either the cloth or the ziploc that holds the button. I also keep all the buttons/and or zippers I have accumulated in a designated container.
Whenever I am missing a button I can do a 5 second catalog check of my button library before rushing out the door to take the pile of clothes to be cleaned and mended at cleaners.
And all of my tops have their original buttons. =D
Thanks for the awesome shirt!
