I thought I should inspire you with some fashion today. I liked this image because of the boots, mainly. But also the socks that sticks up above the knees & the matching poncho. All in black, white & grey. Simple yet nice, don’t you think?

Shopping now & then is rather nice., especially if you’re on the hunt for something you need. Otherwise, I find it enjoyable to just to wander around, look, compare & take in things around me. Also, its fun with all the visual exposures of various trademarks & solutions. The way the creativity has been used to inspire us customers.
Sometimes, I have to admit, I don’t always get the idea behind. But if it’s aesthetically pleasing, it works anyway. You don’t sell more just because there are lots of products on the shop floor. It can sometimes be overwhelming. Carefully selected & coordinated range – it has to start there. A desire to inspire!

There is no major difference between men & women if we exclude the physical. We are relatively similar, which of course has been the great art of understanding since the dawn of time. What my guys thinks is neat, is according to my taste preferense too. Now I realize of course that we have affected each other because we live together. They have been brought up in an environment that I believe will accompany the throughout life. One tends to hold on to what’s one is used to from childhood, usually. Anyway, I’ve put together images that I think would fit well for guys, in any age. It’s typically my style so you won’t see nothing outside the ordinary. On the other hand, I’m just an ordinary woman 🙂

Just basic design, simple materials, simple cut, classic & timeless. They should be easy to combine too. I liked this solution for its simpleness. Spotted blouse with jeans & the fancy detail with the zipper on the side of the sweater. Sometimes, it need not to be more than this.

Some people has a look & appearance that seems to fit in any situation or time. It can be from hair style, type of clothing or just the face. They never go out of style & you could fit them in which decade you’d like. A classic appearance, simply! My sons has both similar haircuts. They are right now very much, into the preppy-style. It’s the usual jeans or chinos with polo shirts or shirts & thin knitted sweaters with v-neck or round neck. (there’s not much change to this style, when it comes down to it, really). If this photo had been in color instead of black & white, you’d not noticed the difference from then to now. That is, if it had not been James Dean. It could have been any photo, in any magazine today. As I see it, at least.
