Non-Fashionista Opinion

A couple of fall trends I am so not getting:

1. Open toed boots. I mean really...how is that attractive? You have to wear socks underneath those things and that's just not cute!

2. Leather leggings. First, leggings in general are a little too 1990 for me. If I wore something when I was a child then I just don't think I should wear it as an adult. For example, jellies. Cute on kids, not so cute on adults. Then you have the whole leather thing! Leather is good for four things and four things only: shoes, belts, jackets and purses. Shame on whoever came up with this.

3. Shoulder pads. Yes. You heard correct. Women are wearing these God awful things again. Why? Who knows. Lord knows men don't like them. Why would they? "Hey, man. Did you see my girlfriend over there? Yeah, she's the one with the shoulders like a quarterback". No. Just no! I thought these things died a horrible death. Who resurrected them? Let me tell you something, Mr. I-Think-Shoulder-Pads-Are-Cool...you suck.

4. Ruffles. To you fashion designers out there let me point something out to you. The average size of the American woman is a size 12-14. See what I'm getting at? No? Okay...let me spell it out for you. You know those models that you're dressing? Yeah. They are a size 0. They NEED ruffles on them so you can SEE them when they're walking down that cute little runway. The average woman? Is generally no where near being so stick thin that curves disappear. It's actually the opposite. The average woman likes to down play the curves just a bit, not add more on. See what I'm getting at? A little common sense would be appreciated. Thanks.


A couple of fashion trends that I love:

1. Satin Bows on Shoes. It just looks like a 1940's pin-up girl should be wearing them and that is always a good thing. Always.

2. Wavy hair. You're about to see a trend...1940's-esque. Classic, touchable, sexy and beautiful.

3. Leopard print. Now before you go "Whoa there, crazy girl!", hear me out. It has to be done very, very, VERY well and must be inconspicuous but when done right it's just enough naughty to catch attention. Love it on a shoe or pencil skirt.

4. Red. Arguably one of my favorite colors. I love it in lipstick, shoes. dresses, tops, nail polish...you name it. Now if only I could afford the red patent leather Christian Louboutin's...
