What am I not getting?

Fashion.  I don't pretend to be an expert.  I like old stuff, whether it's 'in' or not.  But I do take an interest, and love looking at what everyone's wearing.  So today when StylistPick threw up a little fashion week blog on facebook I thought I'd have a shufty.  They'd hand-picked and photographed some rather 'trendy' (is that word even trendy?) looking girls they'd found wondering the streets of London.  Some quirky, some fabulously accessorized.

 Now I'm sorry to this lovely looking woman for picking on her, I really am, she looks lovely, but I don't understand why she was picked out for a super fashion snapshot?  Jacket, black jeans, jumper, scarf, hat, boots.  I haven't seen any of these particular items in the 'Spring' stuff that's coming out and if this is super funky, I'm doing it every day.  I suppose I should be glad?

Actually, it makes me feel that I'll never really get it.  I don't think there is a formula.  If you look totally quirky and have found some bizarre looking garments to adorn yourself with, you're fashionable.  If you throw on some ripped jeans, some enormous biker boots and your boyfriend's t-shirt, you're fashionable.  If you dress like you're from any by-gone era, you're fashionable.  And clearly if you throw on some jeans and a jumper and wrap up warm, you are fashionable.  I think if you went out in your pyjamas you'd probably win some sort of award!

So I think I'm just going to stick with what I like, and hope someone thinks that's fashionable.  OK, OK!  I'll leave the Boyzone t-shirt in the draw!!!
