Glamour

I watched a TED video of Virginia Postrel speaking about the concept of glamour. It intrigued me. The glamour of fashion is certainly what draws me in to the whole thing but it got me thinking, what keeps me interested in fashion? True high fashion is quite unattainable (on my budget at least) and oftentimes impractical. What keeps me interested is the allure of glamour and the ability to reach for it. I can't afford designer clothes but, I can buy clothing at outlet stores and I can sew/make lots of items to keep it personal. I'm definitely more motivated to get to some of the projects I've had on the shelf now. I feel like the act of reaching for glamour is enough now :)
