Jessikams, fun idea!
Joy, what? Which thread do you mean with your mention of "investing in my wardrobe"? Could you make a more specific comment on that thread, and point out what piece(s) you are talking about? I'm comfortable with the bright/dark relationship of the things I'm considering, but maybe you'll want to chime in on try-on day with your suggestions.
This isn't a week about German fashion--it's a fashion week that takes place here, probably has as much to do with the city it's in as any other fashion weeks (that said, I would be interested in hearing reports from fashion weeks beyond Europe and the US. I know there are several in Africa.)
You are right that the fashion week is confusing. I've never done a fashion week, but have occasionally heard people on here mention having been to one.I never realized how many events there are. How does one feel as if one has been "to fashion week" and not that one happened to catch an event or two that happened to be connected with FW?
