celebrities wearing printed denimForget your party shoes, this spring it is going to be all about your party pants.  In addition to bright bold denim, designers have shifted focus from fancy tops to fabulous bottoms.  Whether you pick floral, ikat, or animal, be sure to pair your party pants with a simple top.  Wear ’em during the day to bring some fun to ho hum errands or take ’em for a spin around the dancefloor just after midnight.

Why Did You Wear That: Wear the Rainbow

By |January 12th, 2012|Why Did You Wear That?|

When I walked into the fifth floor of Saks a couple of weeks ago, my eyes lit up as I saw a table of denim in almost every color in the rainbow.  I love jeans and making them in different colors is merely an excuse for me to buy more… cause I need a pair of lavender jeans, don’t I?  Right.  For a while denim has been clean, skinny, and dark (thank God, we’ve moved past that whole “distressed”, rhinestoned, whiskered phase).  We saw the emergence of red denim this past year, but it hasn’t been since Bongo jeans and snap crotch bodysuits that I’ve seen such a variety of saturated shades.  Have I dated myself?  No?  Cotempo Casuals, anyone?  Here’s a roundup of some of my favorite shades that I can’t wait to wear.

Now you’re pants can be as bright as you are.

Why Did You Wear That: Get Sprung- Spring Did.

By |March 26th, 2009|Why Did You Wear That?|

Spring is officially here, so it’s time to overhaul your closets.  Time to toss the sweaters and leggings (thank god) and get ready to show some skin.  It’s time to stimulate our economy (it’s called being proactive).  So what if Obama’s trying to take back everyone’s bonuses?  Might as well look cute in the poorhouse.

  • Leather jacket- Wear it with jeans and a tank or over a long maxi dress. Works with both and gives you an easy “I didn’t try too hard” look. (Don’t worry, if you’re feeling timid, you don’t have to go with black. Try a shade of grey or tan).
