I heard an interview with Jamie Lee Curtis a while ago, in which she talked about her decision to limit her wardrobe to black and white. Rather than a fashion statement, she is trying to simplify her daily routine and taking "picking out an outfit" out of the equation. She quipped:
"I never represented glam. That's the thing, you'll never see me in the front row of a fashion show. I'm uninterested in it. I find it trivial and banal and boring. I find it to be the least interesting thing that a woman can pay attention to, is clothing. I'm so much more interested in what's going on in the world today and what we're thinking and how we're feeling."
When she said that, I thought, "Right on, James!! Fashion is banal. I'm so above fashion . . . I refuse to be a slave to trends any longer. I am deeper than that, and more important that that!".
I held those convictions for about 4 hours until I walked by an Urban Outfitters display window. 30 minutes and $69 bucks later, I had a cute bohemian top that is SO Marc Jacob's spring line.
