Even if I could afford to do so, it's not going to happen. I like my comfy ugly walking shoes and olf jeans, thank you very much.

One minutes it's all the rage and outrageously overpriced and the next, it's filling the racks at second-hand shops. Also my body is kinda weird and rolly so I just get what covers it. :) This is way I don’t pay attention to fashion.

I've never been a fashion "sheep" and I refuse to ever be one. It makes me sad that people waste their money buying completely new wardrobes for each issued "season." I'd rather be comfortable wearing what I like to wear and standing out as an individual than be accepted by the stylists roaming the streets. :) Great post!

That way, while I won't ever be on the fashion forefront, I won't look silly either. (Though I do hate turquoise on me, and won't buy it at all unless it's mounted in sterling silver and fits around my neck.) Without a fortune, who can afford to be up to the minute? Besides, all that stuff has to be dry-cleaned, and I still get spit up on...

Especially considering the majority of "normal" people can't afford to buy all the "hot" clothes every season. Just last night I went to a Mary Kay makeover and wanted some teal eye liner (lightly, I go lightly) and the lady was like "no, teal is so out, this year we have olive" and I'm thinking, okay lady, whatever, but you don't know that I look horrid in olive and my eyes really stand out with teal. Obviously I'll never be any good as a fashionista! ;) Fashion “experts” don’t know what they’re talking about.

Of course, with four young kids, my clothes don't last very long, so I'm "right in!". . . As long as you count the Kohls sales rack as in fashion.
