I love the dress shops (local designers) here on Main Streets. But I mostly walk there at night when they are closed.

I almost never wear dresses these days anyway.

But the truth is: I don't understand the fashion in this town. Everything I see in the shops (except some big chains and the more outdoorsy places like Mountain Equipment Co-Op) looks wrong to me. I have no idea what I'll do when I have to wear "business casual" dress (which in my "industry" tends to be more casual than business). I have tried to buy new clothes many times but since moving to Vancouver (4 years ago) I have successfully bought about 2 pairs of pants and... a lot of Ibex wool!!

I'll have to spend some more serious time checking things out, soon.
