Let us consider the subject of fashion-ability for a moment: What does it mean to have hip fashion sense? Does making the decision to replicate what one sees on a mannequin qualify one as having style? Does rebelling against those static dummies do it? Seriously. Is it any more or less meritable to skip mannequins and copy the attire of other living people? Or is it that most everybody merely copies style while the actual designers of the clothes are the only ones to truly possess it? But how do they qualify? When we desire to wear their clothes? Does that validate their creations as being stylish? Or does it qualify us as having a hip fashion sense?

It’s beginning to look like having good fashion sense is not what you wear but what you want to wear. But displaying this style is something else completely, and so I don’t really feel lacking in fashion sense, but just in the clothes that I own. Does anyone reading this happen to be a youth in Japan or know where I can get the clothes I’ve always wanted?
