Not really.

My rules for clothes; they support comfort and easy mobility, including running or walking in high wind. My other test is, could I sleep in that fabric? I actually like skirts and dresses, but according to the model, my style is close to 'matron'.

Which is cool.

I hate shopping unless its at a second hand store--I seem to find what I like easier. So much of 'fashion' is uncomfortable or restricting in some way.
