I really like the previous post so I decide to make a similar post of it - Fashion I don't Understand.
The first one is Björk's swan dress back in the 2001 Academy Awards, a dress designed by Marjan Pejoski. The dress itself looks kind of cute. However once you wear it, it looks like dead swan hanging on your neck...
The interesting thing is that you can probably still find a counterfeit one on ebay now...
Another one is Ashley Olsen's recent look... A look that reminds me of my old days in NYC when I had to compete seats on the E train with some homeless people every morning & every night.... Her style just looks like them...
A lot of times we love trends that we would never attempt to wear. Whether it is because we think we cannot pull it off or we just feel uncomfortable trying. Here a couple of trends I love but you will never see me wearing:
The Forehead Headband
This bohemian trend has been rising in popularity as celebs like the Olsen twins, Nicole Richie and Mischa Barton have been seen on the streets sporting this look. Although I think it looks cute when I end up seeing their pictures in my gossip mags, I’m not sure if an ordinary person like myself could pull this off on any regular day.
Monokini
This one piece, cut out bathing suit first seemed to be designed for those who were feeling too old or self conscious to be wearing a bikini but still wanted to bear a little skin. Now monokini’s are a hot swim trend and many people are wearing them because they are just as sexy as, or even sexier than bikinis.
Super High Platform Shoes
Anything past a 4 inch heel is a bit too high for me. Add another 1 ½ inches of a platform on top of that and my 5’ 6’’ easily turns into an uncomfortable 6 feet for me that I am not willing to do. I have always dated tall guys so I can wear whatever shoes I want without being taller than them, but some of these shoes may start exceeding my guy and could possibly have me toppling over.
What trends do you love but are unsure about wearing?
I am so excited that Chadwicks is carrying name brands at such great prices! It's perfect timing for me. Summers are crazy-busy. I don't want to run around to stores looking for a new top for a BBQ or a new dress for a cocktail party. Now I can order some of my favorite brands while enjoying a little time off on my deck. So for the Fathers Day cookout and Wedding the following weekend, I am set! I just ordered a cute top from August Silk and a go-anywhere dress from Nina Leonard.
Now to get a little sun and relaxation in for me...
Have you ever been pulled over by the dreaded Fashion Police? For those unfamiliar with the term, those are the people (any people, really) that critique you for what they see as a fashion faux pas. Maybe almost everyone has someone in their lives that serves that function. My friend’s teenage daughter is happy to provide her with that service. The other day she accused her mom of wearing “clown pants.” And her pants just looked kind of normal to me. I wonder what she’ll say about these pants that I plan to purchase from us that also look like regular jeans to me…
What doesn’t look so normal to me is this pair of jeans that I found online.
What do you think of them? What would the Fashion Police say? I say that whoever is wearing these jeans should hope that they never run into my friend’s daughter!
Studded Slingbacks, Cork Wedges, Gladiator Flats and Mule Espadrilles! When the weather heats up so does the shoe selection at Chadwicks. There just aren’t enough days in the week or the month to wear them all. It’s so hard just to decide which color, style and which brand name too! If your like me and love those hot summer styles but love cool feet (I’m into all the flats myself but that’s just me) in lots of colors, check them out before their sold out! Whether your walking, working, socializing or just love sandalsand shoesat really great prices Chadwicks can surely add to your collection.
It is hot outside!And the AC is officially on at work. I need layers that I can put on and take off throughout the day, but still look nice! My favorite Chadwicks page is ‘Shop by Outfits’. It gives some great layering ideas in addition to some easy outfits to put together. These along with my Turn-it-Around Tank and I can create outfits for cool days in the office and still step outside for a quick lunch and a few rays of sun without melting!
This past weekend was beautiful here in New England. The weather was great except for a few showers late in the day on Saturday. But it is always a little tough to get back in the swing of work after a 3 day weekend. So I'm glad that we can wear jeans to work. It definitely makes it easier come Tuesday morning. I got my new jeans last week and I am wearing them today. And they are really comfortable! They are the High Waist Jeans and they fit great! All I had to do was grab a top and some heels and away I go. Well after make-up of course! I already ordered another pair. Now if only the things that I have to get done in the next 4 days were so easy...
