A question that came to me today is: What determines fashion?  Here are the answers that I came up with... Mainstream fashion is determined by what's seen on the runway. When I say mainstream fashion, I mean the clothes you... Continue Reading

I'm not a big Walmart shopper, but the times that I have shopped there I've noticed how "frumpy" their clothes look to me.  Hope I didn't offend anybody - that's just my opinion!  I have, in fact, bought a couple... Continue Reading

Excuse me if I rant a little, but who started this "muffin top" trend?  I was already quite irritated with the very low-rise jeans (or should they have called it the low-dip jeans?) that reveal underwear, but now every young ... Continue Reading
