If I wish to create a fresh look I will have recourse to my existing wardrobe and I shall use what I have, not buy into more. It's so easy to see something you think you like because it ticks a box, fits into a visual idea you have which has likely come from the fashion press or from someone influenced by the fashion press [be it mainstream, avant-garde or DIY].. and buy it before realising you like it less than you thought.Gen Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01022668335676057617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185133934790891461.post-64941674085681297502008-10-18T00:24:00.000+01:002008-10-18T00:24:00.000+01:00...Hmmm hope that you feel better soon.

I really like it. I find in these straitened times that the mass market pile em high and sell em for 200 % more than they cost to make philosphy even harder to take. I will weight for the market to re-balance and find it's natural level before investing in "trend" peices this year.<BR/>Either that or I will do without until I can go to London again and buy up the early adopters mistakes in Charity shops!<BR/><BR/>xxLisamareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18445509438246694219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185133934790891461.post-49968930831681461092008-10-17T19:26:00.000+01:002008-10-17T19:26:00.000+01:00Excellent post!

I think it does take bravery to buck trends and stay true to who we are, despite what the magazines tell us about how and who we should be. <BR/><BR/>I love trends, because they do help me refer to "now," but really, I dress in the past.

A great post my dear, as usual and I think as you get older, it is easier not to fall in the trap of buying 'one hit wonders' that come into trend for a season.

Post modern theory combined with clothing sounds like heaven on a stick. Thanks so much for writing this post even as you have the croup. Please feel free to go on and on about Barthes. I for one, will read every word and be enormously grateful for your sharing all you are learning.<BR/><BR/>I avoid the mythologies, to some degree, by avoiding all fashion magazines. But, there are certainly mythologies in catalogs, web stores and even in stores. <BR/><BR/>Great post!!
