Correct. Once you keep on the look-out in clothes stores for
good designs, you eventually get a feel of what's coming in next.
It's observable, you can sense the fashions coming and going.
Hey misty, you from Singapore? The word "tacky" is not something I
see many Singaporeans use. Plus 'gap', didn't know they opened in
Singapore! Either you're not from/living in S'pore...or such is the
pace of globalisation!
HK, China & Japanese imports are probably the best bargain buys
for fashionable clothes.
