A few weeks ago here at CMU, I attended a career day for my Apparel Design and Merchandising program. This is an annual event that is always followed by a list of seminars the day after. I, of course attended one which may I say was amazing.
In this seminar one of the things discussed was how apparel today needs to have some staying power. Essentially the fact is [YES] we are in an economic slump and the average consumer NEEDS the outfit that they are buying to stretch for a few occasions.
This means taking that full length dress and turning it into a mini, or pairing a nice crisp button down with say jeans and a pair of Chuck Taylor's or Steve Madden loafers. Ultimately the choice is yours, however it never hurts to take the "then" and turn it into the "now ".
