Every one of us has been affected by the recession. For those of us who once upon a time afforded themselves the odd weekend away in Malaga on a cheap deal, in November will know that once that plane lands on Spanish soil, the Euro makes it a very expensive trip indeed! Everything seems to cost more these days and clothes are no exception. Well, even if they don't nescessarily cost more, we just cannot afford them anymore.
Since all this kicked off, CERTAIN highstreet fashion retailers have truly come into their own. For a tenner, one can walk out with a monochrome smock, a pair of nautical flats and some chunky jewelry. A similar outfit from a couple of doors down may cost ten times as much, at least. So yes - we can walk round dressed like Gok Wan's new best friends without breaking the bank. But - as my father once told me - you can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs. So what eggs get broken in order to make this omelette????
