What a waste to wear clothing for one season and then get rid of it. <br /><br />I'll buy a piece or two, but no more. I'd rather stick to the classics.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

I think they are neat but I also know they are short-lived.<br /><br />When I was getting ready to go to college, my mother and I bought me two pairs of shoes, one pair of flats and one pair of heals. They were colored patent leather. I really liked them. The material on one of the heals started splitting on the top of the shoe. I went to the shoe store to ask if they had any others. NO, it was a fad.(not their words.) quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252285009517721143.post-88851359781460538792012-10-29T12:50:28.836-04:002012-10-29T12:50:28.836-04:00Hi Hilary - I'll usually buy one or two trendy...Hi Hilary - I'll usually buy one or two trendy items, but mostly stay with a classic look.<br /><br />Hi Dotti - One of my gripes with fads is the cost factor. If I love an item, I want to wear it for years.<br /><br />Ah, historic romance! It's also a favorite of mine.<br /><br />Hi Karen - No wonder we work so well together. :)<br /><br />Hi Rhonda - When I buy a trendy piece, I get frustrated that the next season it's gone. I really liked that flowered jumpsuit. Sigh.<br /><br />Hi Cindy - One of my problems with writing for the market is the "me too" effect. If you're not one of the first to publish, you risk getting lost in the deluge.<br /><br />Hi Jess - Thanks! My mother had a pair in my size that she no longer wanted. So, I'm all set for now. When these wear out, I'll resume my search. <br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

Writing to keep up with the trends is a risky thing for me. I usually wait until it's caught on and then, like you, it's basically almost already out of style.Cindy R.

All the girls in my youth group had them but I thought they looked ugly. No surprise when they were not seen a season later. <br />As for books... give me romance any day! I tend to lean towards pure romance these days, historical if possible. I guess at heart I really am an old fashioned girl in every sense of the word. <br />Have a great week, Susan. xxDorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13622521834128746217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252285009517721143.post-13682400172076954172012-10-29T04:39:25.874-04:002012-10-29T04:39:25.874-04:00Hi Susan - I hate fads and don't follow fashio...Hi Susan - I hate fads and don't follow fashion. I do get frustrated as I can't find the originals .. so I totally agree with you on that. I think it's the marketeers, brands, shops just reproducing things for the sake of it sometimes ... <br /><br />Re books - each to his own, but some will always stand the test of time ... or as now be reproduced with a modern flavour - eg Grimms Fairy Tales ... <br /><br />Sci Fi and Steam Punk seem to be favourites at the moment .. though chick lit is still there - as is Mills and Boone some what to my surprise!<br /><br />Cheers and have a good week ..
