The Other day I had an Conversation with someone about Fashion. I am not sure if many of you know but I used to work in Top shop in Oxford Circus. So I thought I woulds share with you some of the trend that might look good for the Summer of 2012. First of all I am really pleased to say that there seems to be a little colour back into the high street this season. This must be because of the bad weather that people want to wear bold and primary colours. Although I am not sure about the hat in the lower picture. Am I old fashioned enough to say that hats and woolen hats should be winter wear and not summer wear.

The black and grey days are over and we can see that these are both stylish from the ladies but also a Casual look from the lads. But there are some fashions that are clearly wrong and should be left alone. See the Green Jumper down below. I don't really know where to start. It looks like he had it knitted by a colour blind kind Auntie. Now when I said bold colours this is not what I meant. I have to say you would certainly see him coming in a typical summers day (raining I mean.)

But let us not get carried away here. There is a lot of good fashion out there and we can see an example of this in what we wear on our feet. Can I just say here there will be no saddle's with socks here. The top tip for shoes is that you should
shoes that match the occasion so doctor martins with shorts are just stupid. But so are high heals with jeans. There are somethings in life that just will never go together. So think about it match the shoes with the outfit.

| Another wrong choice I think |

| This is wrong on so many levels |

Good but how you walk in them is beyond me

I hope you enjoyed this little rant through the Summer fashions. If you like it there maybe more on its way. Just let me know. These are my own personal feelings. IF you personally like the stuff that I have written then I will offer some more thoughts and reflections.

I've known a few priests with their own sense of fashion but this is something completely different .
I challenge you for your reflections on fashion for the over 50s ! or what's acceptable fashion for wearing in church.
Maybe you should approach Vogue magazine, with a view to a column from a priests perspective?!
I'm going to buy you that green sweater for Christmas!
