Fashion Don’ts That Make You Crazy

CARNIVALE OF COUTURE #2

Inappropriate Gold Digging Attire

When did “cocktail attire” mean 7 jeans? Jeans with a lingerie tank top is NOT the new LBD. Middle aged women with saggy arms and paunchy stomachs wearing tight jeans and lacy camisoles to cocktail parties and formal dinners make me want to gag. The OC has inspired mothers around the country to dress like their 15-year-olds, and it is not a pretty sight. As Oscar de La Renta said, there is no true style or fashion out there anymore. Remember, denim was invented for gold diggers in the wild west, apparently modern gold diggers have embraced it as their uniform as well.

Underwear as Accessory

Don’t have your underwear or g-strings hangin’ out of the top of your jeans. It’s tasteless and trashy, even if you are 18 and hot. And if you wear those thong embellishments you dangle over the jeans, you should be dancing at Ba-da-bing.

Hello!! You’re Wearing Your Entire Closet

I saw a girl wearing a Victorian blouse with a bohemian skirt, slouchy boots, an arm full of Indian bangles, a giant Moroccan belt, and gypsy hair. Oh yeah, it was Sienna Miller. She looked schizo. One trend at a time, please!!

These Boots Are Made For Dim Wits

Cowboy boots with mini skirts, prairie dresses, or shorts is just dumb, even for Jessica Simpson. And Nicole Richie. And Lindsay Lohan. And especially Mischa Barton ‘cuz moccasin boots are even dumber.

  1. Boots are my favourite type of footwear, but cowboy boots and moccasin boots are SO DONE. They were ugly from day one, and should be banned from stores at this point.

  2. I HATE COWBOY BOOTS!!! don’t these people read harpers bazzar? Anna Sui put them on the runway OVER A YEAR AGO. they are done, nuf said

  3. I love cowboy boots. Only because we have lots of real cowboys out here. Needless to say, the “fashion” cowboy boots would get one laughed right off Main Street. I have yet to see one pair in Billings.

  4. What do you think the next “IT” bag of the season will be? Also what colours are going to be big this year?

    Thanks

    Hi Angela, The Chloe Edith is poised to be the big “It” bag of the season. Especially with the departure of Phoebe Philo, it is sure to become a collector’s item as well. We are also predicting lots of soft and muted colors for the year, no more loud fuschia bags, it’s all about classic ladylike shapes and colors. White is a hot color for bags this spring as are nude and beige colors. We love this beige kelly croc, this classic it will instantly update your wardrobe.

  5. it looks like sienna miller needs lots of help! she should not let a 2 year old pick out har clothes! way to much for such a small person(or any person!!!!!!!!!!!!)

  6. I’m sorry, forgive my ignorance, but I didn’t get it. Why is so dumb use cowboy boots with shorts and mini shirts ? If it’s the wrong way of using, tell us the right way.

  7. One should wear what they want, what they like, what flatters them and makes them feel good, be it moccasins, a pair of beat up old cowboy boots, or a lampshade on their head. Who gives a rat’s behind what the RUNWAYS are dictating to us every year? Fashion trends and what they say we SHOULD wear are all driven by money, and how much of it they can pull out of our pockets, hence the seasonal changes, and their encouraging us to discard last seasons look and go buy what they say is the new and right look. The fashion business thrives on the insecurity and vanity of women. I wear what I like, and what looks good on me, and don’t care what anyone else thinks…and I thought that women today were more openminded about fashion, guess not all of you are.
