"I think all of us have made those kinds of fashion mistakes where we buy a pair of shoes that we can't actually walk in, or a dress that is a little too tight, but at the time, we were hoping we could fit into," Hill says. "There's always this idea that the next thing we buy will actually be the perfect thing, [which] is certainly wrapped up in this idea of consumerism and transformation."
