Oh, there it is. That familiar nip in the air. Fall has arrived. Fashion week, pumpkin spice lattes, boots, and chunky cashmere are all the best parts of fall. This week’s frocks are dedicated to one of my very favorites, the sweater dress. Always comfy, always cool.

Why Did You Wear That: Wide Load

By Kirsten|August 31st, 2010|Why Did You Wear That?|

After seasons of skinnies, it’s nice to see the wide leg jean make a return. Though I don’t believe the skinny jean is going anywhere anytime soon, it is nice to have options (a girl’s gotta have options, afterall). The wide leg, trouser, and bootcut jean are much more universally flattering and can balance out a more pear shaped figure. They’re also great because they can be dressed up and dressed down with just a few simple tweaks and accessories.

MiH Marrakesh Flare Jeans, $189

Paige Premium Denim LouLou Vinyl Bootcut Jeans, $158

Elizabeth and James Stevie Dazed Jeans, $245

J Brand Lovestory Bellbottom Stretch Jeans, $178

Rock and Republic Roth Jean, $235

With these flattering silhouettes, you’ll be looking more like a svelte sweetie rather than a wide load

Why Did You Wear That: January First

By Kirsten|August 30th, 2010|Celebrity Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

So, yes, we all know the Emmy’s happened last night. I, myself, did not watch seeing as I just moved into my new apartment and have yet to get cable installed. Oops. Anyway, One dress that I did catch on the new this morning was that of Ms. January Jones. She chose a blue number by Versace and apparently it’s struck up a bit of debate, although I’m not sure why. To me, this dress is not debatable. It’s ugly. I wouldn’t wear it. You wouldn’t wear it. She’s a beautiful woman, but the dress is fug. Those who say differently are suffering from “The Emperor’s New Clothes Syndrome.” Here’s the dress. You be the judge:

I give Ms. Thang credit for trying something different, but unfortunately, most times “trying to be different” equates to “trying too hard” (or just ugly).

Sigh… summer is about to come to an end. Goodbye teeny bikinis. See ya later summer Fridays. Sayonara afternoon mojitos (wait, maybe not). Might as well go out with a bang. Celebrate the last week of summer in something bright and eye catching:
