Would You Wednesday: The Carpet Matches the Drapes, Matches the Bag, Matches the Shoes…

By |September 28th, 2011|Why Did or Why Don't?|

Here is Kaley Cuoco at the 2011 Emmy Awards.  And while I have no personal beef with Kaley, I do have some with what she’s wearing.  Now, now, before you start flipping out on me… let me preface this by saying I think she is lovely.  As a matter of fact, I think her dress is lovely.  What I have a problem with are her accessories.  I know what you’re saying, “WhyDid- didn’t you just say how much you love red accessories?”  Why yes, yes, I did.  What I did not mention was that I abhor when young ladies feel the need to match their shoes to their handbags… to their manicures.

I mean, look how proud she is.  She is really smitten with herself and her color coordination.  Didn’t we stop doing this… say, around highschool dance time?  Other than black (cause sometimes that’s just hard to avoid), I just can not condone matchy, matchy accessories.  It comes off as juvenile to me.  The curtains may or may not match the drapes, but your bag and shoes sure don’t have to.

Look for Less: Teen Queens

By |August 7th, 2011|Look for Less, Why Did You Wear That?|

Sunday night Hollywood’s hottest headed to the 2011 Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles.  While this isn’t quite the Met Costume Gala and may be frowned upon by the fashion elite, I always like seeing the fresh young faces in more casual, carefree attire.  This year, the stunning starlets certainly did not disappoint.  Below are a few of my favorite looks.  I’ve recreated each to show you that looking red carpet ready is as easy as 1, 2, 3.
