Yesterday I had a little time to myself and went into town to see what's in fashion. (Because whatever is in fashion, it surely isn't me. For the last three years I seem to have been either being pregnant or breast feeding: not situations where you tend to worry about being the in-thing.)
When shopping for clothes in Germany I have started to wonder if something is truly stylish and, indeed, whether I can be objective about this anymore. Is it the fact that...
a) My head has been turned by a world where mullets for the gent and leather trousers for the lady are more common than is strictly necessary...
b) I am too close to a significant birthday for my brain to be able to comprehend 'contemporary' and for my frame to flatter it...
c) Due to globalisation, clothing is more or less the same wherever you go - and so I'd be facing such sartorial dilemmas whether in Germany or England...
Or d) all of the above?
