Prada anyone?

Greetings to all!!! I pray the day is treating you well. Let me begin by saying.....WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF FASHION!! For the average consumer we go into the store, look at what's available, determine what catches our eye and we buy. Who knew of all of the detail that goes into choosing clothing for a store, or better than that, the design of the garments and the audience they wish to attract. The Devil Wears Prada has new meaning to me today. I thought blue was blue-gray was gray and black was black. Who knew there was Dark Fallow, Gray melange or Dove?? Flipping through price books, what sizes to buy, color, fabric, stitching, etc.....all the decisions that go into a sweater that we eventually find in the sale bin at TJ Maxx!!! The novice of course feels ignorant to the process. I shop for what looks good, they decide on many other factors. Walking to the next building to for the next vendor along the way of the many we would see, I felt like America's Next Top Model on a go-see!! So this is really what this world is like??!! The studio was white-open-clothes on the racks. It reminded me of Rachel Zoe and the studio she works in. It is amazing to see the reality of it all. For many-it was just another day-for me it was an introduction to a fantasy life that us "regular" folk live vicariously through TV and celebs. The funny thing is the people in this industry all look the same. Tall-stylish-sheik, wearing blacks, grays, tall boots, leggings and skinny jeans. Jet setters between the US and UK. They live in Milan-Paris-London-NY. The women are married to French men, Scots and Brits. They hang out with artist, writers, designers and celebrities. As I look at the clothes and listen to the stylist talk about pulling looks for models, I see why everyone is so skinny!! The clothes are fabulous but don't be larger than a 6!!! :)) Love you all!
