1. d’Uh. I’m
not even there.
2. By
now, I’ve had my fill of black, gray, and wool–even though I am somewhat pleased
by the, uh, "bold prints" that will purportedly appear on racks everywhere
next fall. My original point being: right now I’m looking forward to spring,
not fall.
(2.5 A
parenthetic thought: In theory, graphic prints are fine. But have you noticed
how revolting they are in the real world–on curvy, non-coat hanger
bods?)
3. While
we’re on the topic of fall ’08 top trends, let’s talk shoulder pads. Don’t
get me wrong: linebackers are sexy ‘n all (or so I hear).
However, I, myself, do not care to emulate the look since, as I recall, shoulder pads make me feel fat.
(3.5. I’m too busy scrutinizing Hillary’s wardrobe.)
4. Frankly, there’s a strong current of maternity-esque
fashions (much of which look eerily similar to that shapeless
sheath Angelina Jolie recently wore; see the Halston
runway shots for examples). I must admit: for whatever reason (biological clock?), I’m drawn to
such free-flowing, waist-less frocks. But I–and other women like me–have taken some heat for dressing this way. Guys don’t much like it, you see. So,
I was hoping to avoid the look from hereon out. However, I do wonder if this means my beloved
babydoll will resurrect. Thank God for pregnant superstars!
5. Have
you heard about the recession? I don’t mean to be a downer; however, I do
feel recession and fashion are strongly correlated. Personally, my
consumer confidence is in nosedive. I’m terrified of
finding more fleeting fashions at which to toss my dough. For example, I covet those adorable scrunchy boots (see Jill Stuart‘s collection), but how long can
that last?
