It’s not all about money

I posted last week about ’staying in is the new going out’, mainly as a result of the economical climate that they call ’stagflation’. As cost of living rises so does our desposable cash to spend on new clothes. What are we to do? Are we destined to live in a style vaccum for the next few month (or years) until the economy picks up and inflation slows down?

Well you will be pleased to hear that the the answer is “no”. After all style is not about how much you spend on clothes. As stated by the late great Christian Dior “It’s not money that makes you well dressed, its understanding” and so we can all breath a sight of relief, we can still be well dressed without racking up loads of debt.

In fact quite often those who have spent less on their clothes look more stylish than those who have spent more. Perhaps this is because, the more money someone has the  less time they spend thinking about each purchase. For those with not much to spare, each item of clothing that they own will have been carefully considered and chosen to suit the owners shape, colouring and personality.

Perhaps this is something to consider next time you are eyeing up that designer dress in the shop window.
