Dear Fashion, in case you were curious, this (click here for the link to above thumbnails) is what I'd like to wear. You have perhaps noticed that I don't speak often of you in your modern incarnation? It is not that I dislike your recent creations it is that, I think, they dislike me. I do not want to purchase (though sometimes need too) your manufactured in dodgy conditions with dodgy materials garb and cannot presently afford to purchase your lovingly crafted beauteous achievements (my fault for spending all surplus funds on delicious pimple inducing foods) and am therefore destined to wear other people's (grandmas) castoffs. I do not mind this, and never have (evidently as I've made a career of hunting these orphaned garments) I just wanted to make it clear that I do like you, I do. It's just, well, we've got a lot of work to do, friend.
