If you ask me, it's high time they (1) away with fashion. I've had enough of it. Just when I think I've
finally got it right, I pop (2) a clothes shop to find that they've changed all the rules! One minute
it's cool to wear brand new expensive stuff, and the next you have to take all that (3) and wear
clothes that look as if they've been handed (4) by your grandma. You can't win! Well, I've torn
(5) my fashion magazines and adopted anti-fashion. It's an idea that has grown (6)
of frustration and, to be honest, a lack of money to spend on yet another dress that I only wear once.
I started by drawing (7) a plan. I decided to line all my clothes (8) together,
try them all (9) and give to charity anything that either didn't fit or suit me. Then, I wouldn't
buy any more new clothes until something wore (10) . I went (11) my plan
again, and knew that I would have to be tough with myself. After all, I'd spent a lot of money on some of
that stuff. Finally, I plucked up the courage to do it. It felt a little bit like being a child again, dressing
(12) in your mum's clothes, but I also felt a great sense of freedom.
That was a year ago and, although I occasionally see something and think, 'Oh, that's gorgeous!', I haven't bought any clothes. If you ever come over to my house and I (13) you around my bedroom, you
might see last season's fashions, but you'll also see a woman who feels free. And that's anti-fashion. Do you
think it'll catch (14) ?
