Like falling dominoes, the meltdown has made financial markets everywhere about as rosy as a polar bear. With the collapse and absorption of the biggest banks, my Dad asked, “If its no longer safe to put your money in a bank, where is it best to keep it?” I thought under your garden patch, under your mattress or maybe stuffed into the pockets of your coats, boots and heels.
Back when the new season’s designs were on the drawing boards, the world was a better place. But with the new year, a completely different mood and climate was ushered in.
So sweet...(As my brother would say, "Wah wah wee wah")
History suggests that during a recession, hemlines come down and necklines go up. But I don’t feel fashion should be overshadowed by the doom and gloom of the economy. It should offer a sanctuary from the harsh realities of the greed fueled doings of the corporate world. Designers have most definitely served up an escape in their collections. Recent runway shows have been exhibiting all things nice and pleasant to take our minds off all the negative news. While the economic crisis is forecasted to continue into the next year, I hope fashion will keep producing fantastical creations so we feel that at least tomorrow will be better than today.
So as we cross our fingers and wait for things to recover… why not feast your eyes on these pretty things...(all can be found on U-Fhern.com)
