I try to avoid buying black or charcoal coats. When everyone has a similar coloured coat, you just blend in with the rest. Besides, winter’s cold and it gets dark early, so why do you want to…disappear? One reason why I try to look for brighter colours (or at least, not something dark) when I’m […]
I was very glad to see the latest IFB challenge (#115!!), which asked posters to share a plaid look. In the 90s, I had tons of plaid – it was the “thing” to wear in my earlier teens, after all. It then all died down and it either went deep in my closet or disappeared […]
There’s the OTT street style one sees at various Fashion Weeks and there’s normal, every day clothing. Honestly, I don’t really give a HOOT on the former. I think a lot of people who wear the crazy clothing at Fashion Week only do so to get attention, and I have never really been inspired by […]
