The Floral Mesh Skirt. Easy to Mesh Up.

Bring trend we're seeing now is the elastic floral mesh skirt. Usually mini. Big trend is seeing this trend abused. If Whitney Port, who is model tall and model thin can manage to look frumpy, the rest of us have a good chance of frumpified as well.

Couple things to consider before you put this on:

If you do not have a smallish, proportionate waist, don't attempt tucking a shirt in to the elastic (as the model above). Wear a military-style jacket over the band.

Pay attention to how short it is and how transparent. Consider wearing solid tights underneath with some platform Mary Jane's. These are flimsy and light and people can see much more in the light than you see in your closet quickly changing.

The Scarf: How it Should Be Done

Brunch on a breezy sunny afternoon, and this girl knows how to wear a scarf. Hair up, shades on, dressed comfortably in black leggings and casual black tee, perfectly accenting with an imported scarf. This is how it should be done.

Sports Fan Fashion Faux Pas

Attached is a photo of a sports team supporting young lady innocently riding public transportation to what looks like basketball practice? But pointed out to me by a friend -unbeknownst to me- is that "thou shall not mix and match team clothing" in one ensemble. Hence, go all the way and support one team at a time, rather than risking Rainbow Brite effects with your multiple team patronage. Personally I don't think people should wear jerseys ever unless they are actually participating in the sport...but I am definitely outnumbered in my opinion.

Biking + Short Floral Skirt = Bad Idea

Spotted on my way to work in the bike lane:

Girl wearing short floral skirt while wildly weaving lanes to get to work on time. Her poor signaling was a large distraction, but more so the fact she had nothing to cover up under her skirt.

Not a good look, and not traffic friendly. Sorry I don't have a photo, but I don't snapshot while driving.

The Age Old Crime: Dressing Beyond Age Boundaries

On a quick lunchtime jaunt I was on the search for a specific gauzy item. Spotted in the BCBG boutique of Macy's was this. Oh honey. My first reaction was wanting to give her my stylist's card, as that blonde needs some work. Then the spray tan. And then the Juicy Couture terry cloth dress. It's as if she was trying to channel Britney Spears...who herself doesn't always do well with the look...and is a good twenty years younger.
