>Every time I stumble on one of those Fall Fashion Previews where they say something like “periwinkle and aubergine will be the hot colors this season”, I scratch my head. Who gets to decide that?
Well, of course, they just make it all up. In any other field, if they announced every year that all the previous work had been in error, but they have it correct now, nobody would pay attention. Beats me why they get away with it in fashion. Obviously the entire field is absolutely empty of any kind of truth, and it’s all being generated out of nothing for some other purpose. And it’s pretty apparent that the other purpose is to collect money for the junk they peddle.
I don’t know who decided that women’s feet don’t come in sizes larger than 10. But, on the flipside, men’s shoes are always always much more comfortable than women’s: better support, wider, more toe space, etc. It’s like the shoe makers don’t expect us to walk.
I love thrift stores. I find the clothes I buy there last forever.
