I noticed that the people around me have become fashionable nowadays. Our college publication even placed a collection of pictures of students who have an expressive fashionista nature.
I could see a wide range of clothes these days. Puffed sleeves. Super-shorts. Wedge sandals. And many more. The stuff that people wear isn't necessarily designer clothing but they still look good on it. People have to be practical nowadays. And no, monetary dilemmas do not stop the people from expressing themselves through wearing clothes that are fashionable yet affordable. There are lots of boutique shops who price their stuff low.
People really are dressing up nowadays. As fashion evolved through the years, people have adapted to the changes. And it's fun to be one of those who adapt to the changes. :-D
