So, now, do I

"Holt Renfrew, Holt Renfrew," yelled the audience of a Toronto talk show when Diane Keaton asked them to guess which store she was planning to shop at.  "Oh no, Joe Fresh," she told them.  "I love the clothes there."

This is the fashion advice dispensed by one of the most glamorous and uniquely-attired women on the planet.  She simply does not follow trends.  She blazes her own and always looks perfect.  That day she was wearing a tailored pant suit, with a hot silk flower accessory.  Perfect.  She can be annoying with her quirky and eccentric way of talking -- sort of a latter-day Sandy Dennis -- but she has humility and charm. 

I too have discovered Joe Fresh out here and now have a closet full of Ts, leggings, shirts and skirts.  If I paid $100 for the whole kit and kaboodle it'd be a stretch.  The stuff is usually cotton, light, airy, colourful and "with it".  They have goods for all ages and their baby selection is great (shopping for our grandson is how I discovered the place).

Not that this is an ad for Joe Fresh, it's simply meant to illustrate that you do not have to spend a fortune to look good.  Proof of this was Sharon-so-gorgeous-and-outrageous-it's-breathtaking-Stone's showing up at the Oscar's a few years ago in a black Gap T-shirt.  Who'd have the nuts to do that?!  Stole the show.
