Today's women all dress so badly, says founder of 60's label, Biba...

This really caught my eye when i read what Biba thought of today's generation of women...
Biba's main points are that:

* She believes that excessive interest in clothes make women dress less well

* Says high streets are saturated with selling near-identical clothes

Do I agree or indeed does she even have a point... ? Well yes, I do think some of her points are valid. For a nation who seems so interested in following 'fast fashion', we often look either shabby, uninspiring or just a bit dull! And her second point that most of shops sell near identical clothing, is a fair point too...I think generally shops often play it safe by 'playing copy-cat' with one another, lacking confidence in truly creating a 'unique style' that specific to their brand. Of course, one or two buck this trend but as a whole, the high street to me is a bit samey, which is such a shame.

Therefore, I can't say I disagree with Biba, as a whole everyone does seem to look the same and yes, very few people seem to have much dress-sense these days. You only have to take a coffee somewhere and watch the world go by to see my point....So yes, Biba may seem harsh but i also think she is just being truthful, for which I personally admire.

Wear It, Love it, Share it.

We have all bought something that we thought looked good in the shop but never ended up wearing. It's estimated that around 30% of the average wardrobe has not been worn in for at least a year. In a recent survey conducted by M&S, a fifth of respondents even admitted to throwing out an item after just a single wear!

Of the clothes that are thrown away, 43% could have been re-worn if given to a charity shop or passed on through a charity shop or by organising your own swishing event. If we regularly reuse and recycle our clothing, and enjoy second hand shops as part of our wardrobes, we can greatly reduce the amount of energy, water and materials needed for creating new clothes. And that means we feel less guilty about the clothes we don't wear anymore.... A real win-win! Fabulous for everyone...
