how about a few "do's" for a change? yeah?
i know the whole shtick is to look for examples of what not to do, purely for their instructive value. (read: really funny and unbelievable that people would actually do some of these things).
anyhoo...here are a few recent favs:
No, seriously. i like this look, especially as we near the beginning of the summer. Plus, how many of us have all these summer sundresses that we are itching to wear right now? Ok, if you
have actual itches, maybe you should get that checked out, but if you are one of those people who understand metaphors, you get me. Look, that's just how i roll. All puns, all the time. God help me.
Ok, so you might wonder why the nightgown catches my fancy. Well, let's be real. This look doesn't work for everyone. If you are petite and full-figured, this isn't the look you want to go with. but for those with more willowy figures, this looks really sweet and fun, without being overly precious or too young--note the close-fitting jeans and boots. Love it. Plus the cute gathered cap sleeves are so great. In general, I find these to be adorable on most everyone, unless they are too tight that they cut off your circulation and give you that oh, so elusive Popeye look. don't go there.
Here's another fav: THOSE SHOES!!!
How cute, right? If you aren't in agreement, I respect your right to dissent, but you might want to rethink it. Obviously, you wouldn't pair these with your leopard print full-length suit, that might be overkill. But, with a monochrome outfit, how about this for a little fun. I mean, come on, does it kill you to show some personality in your dress from time to time? Honestly, the black needs a break. It told me it was ready for a little caribbean vaca. It also told me that it wants me to come along and give it some fashion therapy. So, I'll expect that ticket any day now....I'm waiting....
So, you're still not buying it, huh? Well, then at least go for some fun shoes this summer. Notice too, these have a great gold medallion on them. I've seen a few of you wearing similar. If you believe that imitation is the highest form of flattery, maybe you'll be so kind as to post where you found them. Or you can choose to be selfish.... Your choice. I'm waiting....
I actually have a few more pics, but I'll save them for another day when we've had enough of the sad ones.
xxoo*, red

I love touches of leopard to liven up city blacks and basics year-round! These shoes do help the outfit --it needs it, sorry I don't share your enthusiasm -- although I'm sick to death of ballet flats. (I also used to work for a heinous she-beast who only wore ballet flats, so it might be the memory talking.) In any case, well spotted!
