Fashion-phobic?

I don't go with fashion. They are so short-lived that it's too hard to catch-up. :) Money wise and all. I dress with what I feel good.

If you're like me, here are some tips for us for ehow.com:

Develop and keep your own style. Trust your instincts about what looks best with your coloring, habits, personality and place in the world.

Adopt what you truly like, but recognize that it may not be the last word forever.

Understand the process. Be aware of why, as well as when, a trend is cooling. Fashion trends and fads can happen because a style is cool (heavy-soled shoes) or fun (temporary tattoos) or even shocking (lingerie as outerwear).

Adapt the style you want to adopt. For example, is everyone wearing short shorts but you just can't? Add a piece of fabric or ribbon to your hems so you can wear them short but not as short as everyone else.

Mix trendy pieces with classic ones.

Break some rules; bend others. If the fashion is large breasts, get a maximizer bra and avoid the more radical surgery route. If straight hair is in, use large rollers and blow-dry your hair before you chemically straighten your ringlets.

Develop confidence: Take a class, read fashion magazines, get a makeup lesson, get your colors done.
Learn about fashion, style, tips and tricks, then go out and make your own fashion news.

C'mon, take notes... you don't have a system memory.
