I fluctuate between a 3 and a 7 I think.

JackieNo · 06/04/2008 20:24

I'm fascinated by it, but not ruled by it, so I'd say I'm maybe a 6.

brimfull · 06/04/2008 20:24

7-8
not a slave to it as am a bit old for most trends

I do follow the trends and enjoy shopping.. a lot!

Roobie · 06/04/2008 20:24

I'm around a 6 or 7

Iota · 06/04/2008 20:25

about a 2 probably

gigglewitch · 06/04/2008 20:26

about 8 when it suits me, keep an eye on the bargain versions around
more like 1 when i want to play out with the kids, or climb mountains

never mind the low waisted trousers if you missed it - the high ones are back!

DD and I found ourselves accidentally in the great granny's CLASSIC section of M and S yesterday and I wondered if I would ever feel glad to be an old lady and just dress for comfort..

maybe I should have asked about shopping and clothes rather than the fashion thing..

COD - you missed a zero off

Anna8888 · 06/04/2008 20:30

7-ish.

I buy (a very few) new clothes every season and tend not to wear old clothes (I recycle them but they are usually dead after 6-8 months wear).

cardy · 06/04/2008 20:32

fashion about 7
shopping and clothes 10!

5 - I buy what suits me (heading for 40yo column-shape with tits) not whatever has been sent down the catwalk that season.

But having said that, I do favour certain designers so that's a bit fashion-slavey I suppose.

schneebly · 06/04/2008 20:37

2-3

I would be more interested if I was less fat.

OverMyDeadBody · 06/04/2008 20:38

I like to look good, and wear what suits my body shape, regardless of what's in fashion. So maybe a five.

Not a slave to it at all.

mawbroon · 06/04/2008 20:47

Hmm, 2 I think.

I only have low waisted trousers because the bloody shops dictate that you will have them by not stocking any other sodding type of trousers.

so, do you dress for comfort and practicality or so that you look half decent and not totally dorky?

cod.. you missed TWO zeros off..

maidamess · 06/04/2008 22:09

Yes cod I do believe you are joshing. You and your neon brights from New Look.

If I think a new style will suit my shape I will indulge. If not, I give them a wide berth, and stick to my staples.
