Time Lag...

I know, I know, I know. I forget to update this thing! And, it gets a surprising amount of hits! Who knew?!

Since I last updated, fashion has of course changed. Some of the changes were awesome--Kate Spade started putting out a rtw collection. I was in the front row at their first show and it was wonderful. There was one terrible change in the fashion world...Lee Alexander McQueen tragically took his own life.

Attached is a picture of one of my favorite Alexander McQueen pieces that I've owned. The cut was ingenious...there were no side seams yet the fit was amazing. Its heartbreaking to think that the man who dreamed up the skirt won't be around to keep on dreaming up more wonderful artwork.

Suicide is never the answer.

Just a Bad Idea!

Just because something is declared to be "IT" doesn't it is a good idea.  One of these new ideas that just shouldn't be is harem pants.  Why oh why oh why???

Harem pants--leave them in the store.  It doesn't matter what a great deal they are and who made them.  They look good on no one.  They flatter nothing.  Just a bad idea.  They eternally look like sad, saggy butt.  I don't care who says you should buy them, they are hopelessly wrong.  

This pair pictured is by Alexander McQueen.  Sure, he has many great ideas and wonderful designs.  But, he can't be right all the time.  This pair of pants is a great case-in-point.  Unless you have the weirdest rise in the universe, these pants will make you look like you have on the saddest adult diaper.  

Harem pants--JUST DON'T.
