This question is a bit tongue-in-cheek, as my guess is fashion doesn`t really start in one place—but what do I know!</p> <p>Here`s the issue: I bought two lovely jersey midi dresses from Boden this fall with skirts that fall below the fullest part of my calf. These are loooong midis that close the gap with fitted booties. I love them.

But they haven`t come to my fashion environment yet—or even much to the U.S., so I feel a little dowdy with everyone else showing legs. While I love statement fashion, I`m usually a trend follower instead of leader. YLF has put me a bit ahead of the U.S. curve.

So my question is: When will European—or at least British—fashion trends hit the U.S...if they ever will? How do the rest of you handle wearing fashon that no one else “gets?” Here`s the length I`m talking about on a RT dress: https://www.shopbop.com/tilda-.....edid=42352

Here is one of the Boden dresses I bought; I can`t seem to find the other: http://www.bodenusa.com/en-us/.....rsey-dress
