I really hope...

That these folks weren't coming out from the Sex and the City movie - that would be blasphemy. I saw them come out of the movie theater after I saw Sex and the City this weekend. Maybe they went to Kung Fu Panda?

UM...... FYI matching outfits == not cool. Not even a *little* cool. In fact it's just plain ridiculous.

And while I'm on it. Those outfits should be illegal. Bright flaming red shorts and matching shirt?? Yeah.. no. Don't even clean your house in this ensemble. Take it off and burn it as soon as possible.

I mean who even buys this kind of thing to begin with? Hey honey while we are out shopping let's buy matching flaming red outfits so we can find each other in whiteout conditions? Let's be sure to always wear them on the same day so we can be matchy matchy together.. ohhhhh and maybe you can skip and hold hands and sing songs too.

I hate this shirt

I actually saw it on the racks at the Marc Jacobs store (or Barneys?) and it looked even more unsightly in person. I meant to blog about this shirt awhile ago, but I forgot. Then I got an email from Saks promoting summer clothes and this was the featured item in the email - and it made me remember how much I disliked it and wanted to comment on it. UM first it's super ugly, second it would DETER me from actually clicking on the email after seeing it as the featured item.

I like printed designs on shirts, but I'd rather have them in the form of a pattern than as a faux scarf. If I want a scarf with my shirt, I'll just wear a real one.

Juicy Couture

What's the deal with Juicy? I don't understand the appeal. To me it just looks cheap and cheesy with an expensive price tag.

For example here's a new hoodie from Juicy Couture. From the front it seems like a normal sweatshirt, but then the back takes it to a new level of ghetto. Why would one want a giant heart with Juicy written on their back? But forget the words the heart is enormous and ugly. Oh but wait there's more - it's got a 1980s style checkerboard pattern within the heart... even better! Who likes this and what is their reasoning??? Who spends $128 for a giant ugly checkerboard heart on your back? I guess plenty of people considering the popularity of this brand, but I don't understand WHY? To me clothes should be stylish and classic, stylish and sexy, or functional and basic (to perform a job) - this is none of those.

Another WTF Outfit

From the Barney's catalog. What's with these shorts? And I don't really care for the blue jacket either.

Who the hell

Would wear these outfits? I meant to blog about this catalog earlier but I never got around to it until now. Normally I love Barney's - and I do like that they often have eclectic stuff. I think in general they are pretty forward thinking in their fashions. But honestly. What man on earth (besides the models in the photo getting paid) would wear these outfits? I mean the suit coat is fine I guess, but suit "shorts" WTF??? and those mandals with it.
