Socks and other sundries...

So, one might assume I have a problem with hemlines since I seem to profile them so often here. But, I promise that is not the case. Nor do I have a certain predilection for photographing people from behind, (ahem) the back.

No, the simple fact is that I might have to explain to them just why I am taking their photo if they saw me do it from the front, and frankly I like the way my nose is currently arranged.

Here to our right is yet another example of crops worn all wrong. Just in case the resolution is so poor you can't tell what it is you are looking at, let me interpret the look here for you. Ok, she is wearing a transparent oilve green button-up dress worn open like a duster over black cropped pants and...black socks with olive green shoes.

Maybe I should stop here and let you draw your own conclusions?
Ok.....I'm waiting.

Hmm?

Yes, you're right, socks and crops are BAD. Now did you really have to go and attack the green shoes too? Come on, that was too easy. Let's give her a break and assume those are commuting shoes. But the socks. For God's sake, the socks.

So, let's all repeat this together: "No socks with crops." It just doesn't work.

You, know when I first saw the outfit I had a lot of hopes. That dress was cute and interesting. I even really like the trend of pants under dresses, but then I had to look down. ugh. What a disappointment.

Hey folks, keep those pics coming and don't forget to comment. This is meant to be a dialogue....

love ya,
