Stacey (WNTW) pimping skinny pants for Macy's

I would hate being on the show. I like my peasant skirts too much.

I don't care if something is in style as long as I like it, it fits, and it is comfortable. It is hard enough to find clothes that fit, if I made sure they were in style I would never have anything to wear.

I'm more than happy to dress all stylish. Just so long as all the stylish clothes are within the first 15 feet of the nearest department store and I don't have to go more than once every three years.

If it requires more work than that, I just don't care enough.

Which is why the show appeals to me. They (generally) to a good job of focusing on identifying basic elements of shape that work for individual body types, rather than what's "in style". If you know what works on your body, you can work within that to acheive any "style" you want (whether it's a current trend, a classic look, or something all your own). Nobody looks their best in clothes that don't fit right.

It was a revelation to me the first time I tried on a tapered dress shirt. I had absolutely hated the way I looked in a standard button up dress shirt until that point as any shirt with a big enough neck looked like a dress on the rest of my body. Now that I've learned what the right cut for me is, I have to restrain myself from buying a whole closet's worth at a time.
