Refashioning: when should one say stop?

I have been wearing these black leather driving mocs for a good 8 years. They served me well when I had to run to the train station from the office, when I feet were very bloated during the 2 pregnancies, and when I need to run after 2 active kids. So when this pair of well worn, well loved loafers fell apart, I put a lot of effort into 'rescuing' them. But even after all that work they still looked pretty worn out and mishapened.

When should one stop rescuing old well worn items that might have passed their due dates, when one is able to buy new ones that can serve a long time in the future? Can one go too far with this refashioning thing?

I look forward to your comments on my blog!

I think it's great that you have repaired your shoes. I would keep repairing them until they just fall right off my feet. But this isn't a refashion and I don't think it belongs here.

Yes eventually some things should be thrown out. I'm sure we all do it.

A tricky one as I never like to throw things out, but I suppose at some point, we have to bite the bullet and get rid of some broken items of clothing
