I have been holding my breath for the last few months when I entered a clothing shop. Why they have been filled with nothing more than solid coloured tops, jackets, slacks, tops and skirts I can’t begin to understand. It compelled me to look into the fashion forecast, as I was in need of some hope. Would I have to survive more of the same once the holiday sales ended, and the Spring collections were put out? It was all too awful to stomach, I needed some real, definitive answers. I required the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel.
Now, I am very happy to report, unless the shops are trying to go out of business, they will be stocking more choices. Next season will mark a change in trend. Prepare yourself, and those lonely garments in your closet for stripes, patterns and more. Which is a major relief, considering the things we have bought in the last few months consist of staples in basic colours. I suppose we could be thankful to the fashion industry for making us acknowledge the importance of variety. Or for putting our wardrobes on a cleansing diet, forced I might add. But, I think not, but I am willing to overlook their shortcomings as long as they make it up to us in the new year.
