Fashion Democracy

So, I like fashion.

I like change.

My best work of art is myself. 

Wherever you put your name under these statements, chances are you will be hard pressed to add value to your money. Fashion industry spent years becoming more accessible to the middle classes, yet now that middle class is under pressure, where will you put your money?

The pictures above illustrate the Spring Collection from my favorite mail-order company.

The pictures below are the advertisements from another perenial favorite.

It seems that both English firms had a similar epiphany, bathing their models in the most sugary of pinks I have seen in recent years.

And I love them. Both.

Can I afford them?

Or

Where do I choose to put my hard earned cash (or plastic?)

The Bayswater by Mulberry retails at €940

While the Lily goes for €1200

and the Tilly tote, my favorite, goes for €1200.

The leather is baby soft, but the price reflects more of a middle class Spring wardrobe.

 Boden, on the other hand, offers stylish aspirantes a more affordable alternative to the seasons nude colourways.

The Metropolitan shopper, which is my favorite, retails for €179. 

So, where will you go?
