Obviously, you have to selectively shop. I buy M.&.S. petite trousers, they are perfect for me. I hope I am not frumpy or stuck in the 1990's. It's all about selective buying and picking and choosing. I saw a lovely pair of cut off trousers in M.&.S. in Rhodes, but there was nothing else I would have bought. I think it's a shame to discount any shop as there is always something you can buy. I have shopped at designer shops and budget shops and I always find something I like. It's all about being a savvy shopper.
However, before judging anyone's fashion sense or how fashionable they are, I like to see images or better still the person in the flesh, then, I may respect their opinions.
