Duchess of Cambridge indulges in some retail therapy...as it
is revealed women spend £250 each to look like Duchess
Do we? I don’t.....do you?
It never seems to amaze me that women will go out and buy something to
simply look like someone else. The
biggest faux pas is looking into the window of a shop and seeing this divine
outfit on a mannequin, buying it and then being surprised when you go home, look in the mirror and often, let’s face it...very
disappointed.....that you don’t look that good in it. Why the surprise? How many of us... are the size and shape of a
mannequin! Believe me having owned a
fashion boutique and regularly wrestled
with the mannequin....they are not even any standard size! Barbie doll springs to mind! So of course the same principle would apply
to buying clothes Kate Middleton buys...in which she looks drop dead gorgeous
and then finding the same outfit on us mere mortals, is sadly lacking! The art
of wearing clothes...is of course to accept and work with what you have...your
own unique body shape. The beauty is in
the confidence you feel in the clothes, not the clothes themselves. Why copy someone else’s style
either.........women should have the confidence to develop their own unique
style.....clothes are an expression of who we are...and no one else is quite
like any of us. This is difficult in a culture of mass produced clothing and
certain retailers have the market niche....but this is where vintage comes into
it’s own......mixing styles, clothing and accessories of yesteryear means that
we can produce something as unique as the person we were meant to be.
“When a woman says, ‘I have nothing to wear!’,
what she really means is, ‘There’s nothing here for who I’m supposed to be
today.”
