what not to wear

you would never guess from my closet, but i love In Style magazine. it is part of my pedicure routine. step One feet in the hot bubbly water; step Two open magazine; step Three wish that i could wear stiletto heels (sigh).

as i scrutinize each page i often think, didn't i have something like that in my closet (mumble) years ago? 'everything old is new again' is the mantra in the fashion world - or i should be politically correct and say the trends are recycled. so i decided to Google 'fashion trends for fall' to see what i should start looking for at Kohls (or keeping from Goodwill).

Can you literally cry deja vu?

Ten Fall Fashion Trends 2009

  1. Eighties redux
  2. Studs and rivets
  3. Shoulder pads (gasp)
  4. Prairie styles (plaids, ruffles, tweeds)
  5. Jumpsuits
  6. Over the knee boots
  7. Cut out clothing (one shoulder-ish)
  8. Metallic shine
  9. Carrot pants (full at hips, tapered to the ankles)
  10. Black is the new black (with a dash of neon)

stop the madness.

I tend to think that designers don't really design: they find warehouses of things that didn't sell decades ago and remarket them.
Stop the madness is right.
