Why Did You Wear That: Fair Well, My Friend.
So, here’s your mini history lesson for the day, fair isle is a knitting technique used to create patterns using different colors. The technique is named after a small island off the coast of Scotland and became popular after the Prince of Wales sported the knitted vests all the way back in 1921. See? So much smarter and you’re only two sentences in!
I remember sitting in a design meeting two years ago discussing fairisle… so I’m happy to see that it eventually caught on to the masses. While this style probably used to remind you of your grandmother, it is so far from frumpy.

Friday Frocks: Let Them Wear Drapes!
Ugh. It’s Friday and you have Nothing. To. Wear.
Well, don’t get all dramatic like Scarlett O’Hara and start ripping down the drapes (Gone with the Wind, ladies. If you have not read the book, run don’t walk to get a copy). While Ms. O’Hara may have gone a tad overboard, she was onto something. Draping. A trend that has stuck around for a few seasons now is a great way to look sexy and sleek while still hiding any “problem areas” (ha! as if we have any). In my mind, it’s a more modest version of the bodycon dress. It shows all your curves without requiring the use of Commandos and starvation.
Sheri Hill Draped Mini Dress, $298
Camilla & Marc Neptune Drape Pindot Dress, $490
Elizabeth and James Helena Draped Silk Cotton Dress, $385

What will you wear tomorrow? Well, frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.

Why Did You Wear That: Rihanna (AGAIN)
What. The. Hell? I’m not sure I even know where to begin. I’d like to address her outfit, but am currently so caught off guard by whatever the hell is happening on her head. Is she a muppet? Raggedy Ann? Is she still “burning” from her Eminem video? Why is she doing this??? She used to be so pretty! Riri… help me help you.
