I find that people have become so fashion conscious these days that, even during their pregnancy, they want to only be seen in the latest brands. For example, one of my friends who is in the final trimester of her pregnancy asked me if I would accompany her to the local shopping mall. I asked her why, to which she replied that she had grown out of her old dress and needed maternity clothes. However, she said she would only buy from a specific shop that carried high-priced brands. I found that pretty amusing, but to each her own!

My sister has always been fond of wearing designer clothes but had not been able to afford doing so because of the fact that she had lost her job during the recession. She was finding it hard to make ends meet, let alone think about wearing the latest fashions. However, a few months back, she landed herself a dream job which paid almost double the salary of her old job. It makes me so happy to see her being so financially sound once again after such a long time. Yesterday we had a long chat on the phone and she told me that she had just come back from a shopping spree and bought a whole bunch of Womens Dresses and Womens Apparel. She plans to wear them and she also plans to give a few of them to me on my birthday.

My daughter is very fashion conscious as well. She entered high school last year and it was only then that I realized how fast kids grow up these days. This is because she has become very choosy about what she wears and how she comes across to others. It seems like she as well as all her friends at high school are pretty fashion conscious and only want to be seen in the latest designer wear, whether it is clothes, shoes, or purses. For example, when I took her shopping at the local mall recently to buy her a new winter jacket so that she could brave the cold weather, she insisted on wearing only a particular brand. I asked her why she only wanted that one, and she told me that she can not be seen in anything else! Well, I guess that shopping with her makes me quite fashion conscious as well, because now I know what the latest trends are.
