I usually love Anna Sui

I usually love Anna Sui. First about this collection I notice that a lot of gray and black start it out. And the first outfit, a suit with shorts, looks like a costume to me and not like something really wearable.

The second outfit with shorts brings up another thing I don't understand. I think of mixed seasons when I see this sort of thing. Boots with the toes cut out. Sandals that bare the feet but cover the ankle. Sweaters with short shorts. Short shorts with boots. I am finding really mixed messages in this not to mention the fact that I, personally, think it's ugly.

Number three on my list of Anna's errors is the mixed color and pattern. I do think some may be pleasing to the eye. This one isn't.

Orange sundress over green sweater. I'm sorry, but I think it makes both pieces look ugly.

Really cute green sundresses are hard to find. This is a really cute green sundress, with terribly ugly knee socks.

This shorts outfit with man socks makes that gorgeous model look fat and frumpy. I can do that a lot cheaper.

I usually love Anna Sui. But not Spring 2011.

Little girls in mom's clothes

I am amazed at how much fabric is in use in the spring collections. The white dress looks like a size 12 on a size 4 figure. The tent dress, while beautiful fabric, looks as if I could wear it. The blue pants have lots of extra fabric where many women have lots of extra. And the green sheet has been gathered on a skinny girl with a pretty good looking belt. I'll bet you could clothe a whole family in all that fabric.

News from the Catwalk.-----I've been trying to wade through the Spring Fashions available and I certainly have mined some gold. If you take a body without a hint of a curve and put it into a garment with curves this is what you can have. This is a collection which could only be worn by a pencil.

Oh to be slim

I don't care how slim you are, there are some things that just don't make the cut. Like tent dresses, dresses with bad trims and poorly matched outfits. They are not going to look good no matter what.

This dress, this dress

Ok I am airing views again. This dress, to me, is just beautiful. I know that there are women out there with tons of money who can look beyond the ugly hairdo, corrective shoes, and the hateful stare of the model. I have been noticing that there are so many things that have changed about models and I am lost.

I don't understand why a designer would want to put his work on an ugly model.

I don't understand why teasing hair out to there is a good look.

I don't understand why gapped teeth are suddenly all the rage. In my day- braces.

I don't understand why models no longer have real bodies. Just bones with a light covering.

I don't understand why on the runway models frown and walk stiffly like automatons. The people who buy the clothes don't do that.

I don't understand why models, celebs, and just everyday folks are doing the pigeon toed pose. Again, in my day, corrective shoes.

I don't understand the latest fads in shoes at all.

I don't understand how a regular person is supposed to wear the see thru clothing without getting charged with indecent exposure.

I don't understand one shoulder dresses and patterned tights and skinny jeans or jeggings.

Boy do I feel old.

OMG Red

I am totally amazed that one person can wear red and do it totally right, and another can screw it up entirely. Sad, really.

I think

I am beginning to think young people are incapable of choosing appropriate attire.
