Random Thoughts While Looking at a Magazine

Hiding behind a hair mask is now a "Do" thanks to Lady Gaga! ;-)

So, yesterday I was thumbing through some magazines that have been piling up. Here is some of the advice or suggestions given and my reaction to them (clearly I am not a high fashion kind of gal...):

Mag: The key to rocking something as bold as sequined leggings? Low key nuetrals on top.
Me: The key to rocking something as sequined leggings? Amazing legs that most people don't and won't ever have. Or possibly a long skirt.

Mag: (in an article about hair) I wanted to make the most of Oh Land's natural wave...
Me: Hold up! This model's name is Oh Land?! WTH?! Oh wait, this says she's an Electro-pop Danish musician. Well. Okay then. That explains it.

Mag:8 Key Pieces for 2011~An oversize sweater,a pleated skirt, a fringed bag, track pants, major volume- could be your hair, your skirt or both!, something color blocked, the great white shirt, wider leg jeans
Me: (Looking at photos of 8 outfits I would probably never wear ever) These are all horrible. Clearly 2011 is going to be a bad year for me in terms of fashion. I might rock a pleated skirt, possibly some color block (I did grow up in the 80s and 90s after all) and how the hell can a white shirt be on any list? Isn't it a "classic" meaning it's always a good item to have? But I'll leave the giant fringed bags to the hippy wanna be starlets, the track pants to people actually participating in sports and wide leg jeans? When you are only 5'3" these are not a good idea. Unless you are pin thin. Literally pin thin. I'm talking Ashley Simpson, Nicole Richie or Rachel Zoe thin. Otherwise you need to be about 5'10" to even try to pull that off. Long full skirts look ridiculous and schlumpy on most people. The oversized sweater shown made even the stick thin model look heavy. Point taken. Thanks designers for making such ugly un wearable clothing "fashionable". Bleah.


Mag:Photo spread featuring thigh high and ankle high socks with sandals.
Me: I'm sorry but nobody normal can pull that off. In fact even these beautiful girl models would look ridiculous in public like this.

Mag: Four Women, Four Ways to Wear a Tie
Me: please, just DON'T.

Mag:DO matchy matchy lipstick and shoes- at the so and so show models wore bright orange lipstick and wore bright orange heels! So Chic!
Me: Orange lipstick with orange heels? So, Eek!
