Subversive Fashion

In the metropolitan area nearest me, the fashion for ladies tends very much in the pants direction: nice dress slacks and sweaters for work, skinny-cut and hip-hugging jeans with long tops for play. I don't particularly care for either of these looks, instead opting for skirts and dresses most of the time. I can definitely make it work and still not look out of place, but it takes a little wardrobe creativity. Basically, the idea is to start with the basic, boring look and twist it--with just the right colors and textures. Difficult, but possible!
