Wearing the right thing, having the right look and trying tofit in is all part of the lifestyle of most modern women. We constantly getdifferent answers on what look is in, and there is a constant competition tohave the "latest" fashion accessory and be 'in the know' about thefuture of fashion to be ahead of the game.
Why do fashions change all the time? Why should leather bein fashion one season and faux fur the next? Why do people follow fashion andbuy the latest must have when they have enough clothes already? What's hot andwhat's not? Do we ever really know? And is there a way of keeping up withfashion without blowing our hard earned salaries on the high street? Visitwww.thetextperts.co.uk/sales_text_alerts.html for updates on all the latest sales.
You see, the problem with fashion is that most women look attheir wardrobe and see a choice: follow the fashion and have an ever changingcollection of clothes and styles and an ever dwindling bank balance, or give upall together and wear what looks okay even if you are dressed in that trustycoat you bought when you were a student that's 2 sizes too big now and isfrayed at the hem.
Whatever happened to people owning timeless pieces thatembraced longevity? Look at the fashions over the last 10 years. How many ofthose must have pieces are throw backs from a fashion past that spans decades?A fashion past full of trends that would normally cause a raised eyebrow ofdisdain...until a fashion house launches a collection that recognizes andencompasses these fashions and reproduces some of these timeless pieces. Thinkabout it, how many times have you heard your mother say she used to have adress just like the one you've been coveting when she was your age? If only shehad kept a few key items and not moved on with the constant changing fashion,disposing of anything that wasn't in vogue.
From my earliest childhood memories I can remember afascination with women who were well dressed and fashionable. As I grew up Itried to emulate these women, and actually just gained an unhealthy obsessionwith clothes and fashion, buying clothes and accessories until my wardrobe,groaning under the strain, finally gave up the ghost and I invested in hangingrails that I jammed into my spare bedroom full of pieces I didn't wear from oneyear to the next. My penchant for quantity jaded my judgement on the quality ofmy wardrobe.
The final decision about what to buy, or whether to buyanything at all, belongs to you. Ultimately, fashions change because many peoplelike new and different styles, but if these 'new and different styles' are justreproductions of the past then why do we spend all our hard earned cash onowning them? The answer, empty your mind, and your wardrobe of unnecessaryclutter, focus on the quality of pieces not the quantity, fixate on thetimeless pieces, ones that are well made and can be worn from one year to thenext, with style and elegance, and most of all ones that suit you.
