every where you look some is wearing the lastest fashion. Now a days fashion is so imporant, the way you dress shows people or gives them a good estimate of your personality, But now due to the finical down fall it is really hard to get the latest fashion.

Its all about re-using! i.e. wearing things in different ways. Splurge on items like jeans, blazers, LBD etc and then mix it up with cheaper accessories and pieces. And why not go op-shopping an pick up vintage pieces for a cheaper price. And dont forget, fashions fade- style is eternal

It is difficult in hard times to keep up with the high end fashions but I think it is getting better with the improvement of high street brands. Great that they are bringing wearable versions of the catwalk to us for reasonable prices. I think the key is to mix any existing designer pieces you have with inexpensive finds so they blend. I've been recycling my wardrobe this winter & buying inexpensive accessories to give me a fresh new look.

yes it is a little hard but their are also plenty of sales out their at the moment - one advantage of a downturn! try joining www.threadpeople.com.au and see what fashion you can get for 70% off retail! my friend and i joined it and although they launch in a few weeks it sounds like they will be getting some great labels!

you can put cute things togther without spending a fortune. look at markets and thread stores for a cheaper option.

I think it is promising that the high street fashion shops now have wearable fashion, comparable to high end fashion shopping. I hope the wearabilty and quality keeps on that track! Fashion should be affordable and available to everyone!
