You know I was wondering if I should perhaps take to heart this little speech delivered by Meryl Streep in the Devil wears Prada as I slipped into my....slightly worn (bin worthy) wolly blue sweater this morning to walk to Hound..... the speech went like this.

Miranda Priestly played by Ms Streep: This... 'stuff'? (talking about high end fashion) Oh... ok. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select out, oh I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise, it's not lapis, it's actually cerulean. You're also blindly unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar De La Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves St Laurent, wasn't it, who showed cerulean military jackets? And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of 8 different designers. Then it filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic casual corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and so it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you're wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of stuff.

Thing is I did find the blue (maybe even cerulean) sweater I have selected to wear this morning in a clearance bin...LOL.
