I _hate_ artificially-aged clothing or anything with frayed edges-- I'd like to get at least some wear out of something before it starts to look shabby.
I know exactly what you mean. I like some of the "deconstructed" look in terms of very uneven hems, draping, layers, etc. I hate actual raw edges, because the garment falls apart so much quicker. That said, I'm probably giving up on the rather daunting task of going around every tier of those "fray skirts" (that I bought because I loved the styles, colors, and fabrics) and hand finishing them; or alternatively, taking them apart and putting them back together again. I've beein doing some of that though.
Winter was awful-- the shops were full of the ugliest sweaters I've ever seen.
I've been seeing some wonderful sweaters--batwings and other draped styles. A lot of them just swamp me, though I bought a nice drapey huge-batwing one recently. And I like sweater-coats--but not belted. They look dowdy belted.
