1) I mostly remain up-to-date in clothes, home-furnishings, hair, etc.
2) I keep tabs of the current trends and select what I like from them.
3) I do not really keep up with fashion.
4) I set my own standards for style. I make my own fashion.
Let's be objective here for a moment and consider one of my favorite expressions. "When there is no bread in Russia buy leeks".
Choice number two, I keep tabs of the current trends and select what I like from them and choice number four, I set my own standards for style. I make my own fashion are not very different. You can olny create you own fashoin from what is available in the market place.
Now some may attempt to argue that you can create you own fashion if you can cut and sew or knit. In reality you would have to be able to obtain all the raw materials to really create you own fashion. What people do not know is that the color Gods set all the shade and tones of color in stone every tens years. All our choices for clothing and furniture are made for us years in advance. Then these are produced for the market place. Consumers and producers then purchase these materials. No one really sets their own standards. We can only choose to choose from what has been cast and dyed for us.
