Style Signals: Everywhere?

One of the reasons that I love to read Fashionista is because of the comments. A recent post deals with style signals, labels and clichés (read: fashion stereotypes). The use of stereotypes, even fun fashion ones, is dangerous. We can't all be painted with the same stroke or cast in the same light.

Creative? Orignal? Alas, no.

There is a gap in their plans. Basically, this has been done before by utilitarian-chic Uniqlo. Plus, they offered more colours, fabric choices and started at only $15. It can be seen here, here, here, here and here. T

A reason to stay home

The inauguration is a reason to stay home and watch this historic event on TV
