(See what we did there? Like the love child of ‘Got milk’ and ‘You’ve been tangoed’)
Laura Reynolds looks at the hype surrounding the collaboration.
Just a week to go until the man in red arrives...
First up I’ve decided that this year there shall be no more January sales binge shopping: “Just because it’s in the sale does not mean that I have to buy it”. Each and every year (and sometimes more often than that if you count the summer sales) I become the proud owner of numerous items that I would never normally buy, but have happily handed over the cash for just because they were cheap. Thus, from now on I have resolved to only buy something in the sale if I’d still buy it at full price.
Stemming from this is the resolution that I shall no longer be deluded by bright lights and tantalising visual displays, but will put more rational thought into what I buy. Rather than thinking like a lunatic and believing that unless I own it my life will end, I aim to actually consider whether or not I really need a pair of fluorescent pink shoes: last time I checked I wasn’t a glow stick.
In addition to this I’m sure that this will be the year that I stop relying on the same five or six items and actually make good use of the huge variety of clothes gathering dust in my wardrobe. Maybe it’s because I’m just too disorganised to put more than a minute's thought into what I’m going to wear, but I find myself continuously wearing the same outfits and crossing my fingers that no one will notice. Not any more - it’s time to break with tradition and be more adventurous.
Out with the shoes of pain, suffering and death! I do not have pointy feet, thus I shall not squash them into pointy shoes. My feet do not deserve to be crushed to within an inch of their lives between two straps of leather and perched on a ridiculously high heel; they deserve to be cocooned in soft, flat, round toed beauties, possibly from Clarks.
So there you have it, a few ideas for a more fashionable 2008. Do feel free to share your resolutions; apart from the sartorial benefits it’s really quite theraputic.
I solemnly swear to spend more time hunting around vintage/charity shops and not just go to top shop because I need a top for tonight and I trust them: I will be more creative.
i hereby commit to the resolution that buying one expensive item is superior than buying various cheaper ones that will fall apart or never be worn. I therefore will save pennies for that one perfect top and to hell with the price!
