Shopping Addict No More

There is a hairline difference between a fashion-follower and a trendsetter. The former is always on the lookout for the latest in fashion, driving to every store for the most recent ensembles. Whatever the current trend is, the fashion-follower is sure to catch up with it in no time. Meanwhile, the trendsetter often strays from the bandwagon. Instead, he or she creates and popularises a new fashion, which may or may not be acceptable to many in the fashion industry. Nevertheless, the trendsetter is typically a role model, someone who is a source of fantastic and futuristic fashion ideas. The trendsetter leads, while the fashion-follower trails along.

Not everyone can become a trendsetter, but everyone can become a fashion-follower, especially if money is not a concern. After all, virtual and physical emporiums are always around to provide the most up-to-date in fashion apparel and accessories. But to the trendsetter, shopping is not about going to the store for a complete ensemble; they go there to find inspirations and to obtain pieces they can mix and match. They also tweak their existing wardrobe a lot - altering, modifying, and adjusting them until they become the garment worthy to wear. With that, the trendsetter makes unique pieces of clothing out of the available materials they have. Such pieces are almost always never available at stores. Well, not until some tailor or designer imitates the design and reproduces it.

Clearly, a lot can be created from the many outdated garments hidden in your closet. Why spend on a fashion shopping spree when you can re-use the elegant fabric of your old clothing into something more wearable and fashionable?
