Why Did You Wear That: Dear Beyonce,

By Kirsten|December 30th, 2008|Celebrity Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

First of all, let me say, you are one of the baddest chicks on the block. You know how to work your curves (and have taught so many women to love their bodies), you have unbelievable confidence, and you can sing your butt off (though I wouldn’t recommend it, cause I think your male fans would be devastated). Plus, I give any woman credit who can lock a man like Jay-Z down.

However, your performance outfit last night on the World Music Awards, was personally offensive. Leggings as pants? Really? And latex ones at that? You have just set me back about 1000 years on this “don’t wear leggings as pants” campaign. Since so many women/girls look up to you, now they are going to think it is, in fact, okay to wear leggings as pants.

Girl Crush: Lily Love

By Kirsten|December 2nd, 2008|Celebrity Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

It would be easy to lump model Lily Donaldson in with the rest of the blondes out there with her Goldilocks looks, but she brings a little spice with her sugar…

She mixes her feminine polished looks with the edge of rocker chic. The mixture of the hard and soft really makes her stand out and gives her a unique style. It is sexy and sweet all in one.

Why Did You Wear That: Leggings!

By Kirsten|November 30th, 2008|Why Did You Wear That?|

Now it’s time to discuss one of my favorite topics… leggings. Leggings are the new sweatpants, the new Juicy tracksuit. (Thank god). Anyway, while leggings are a much more chic way to stay comfortable, it has come to my attention that many people abuse the right to wear leggings. Below I will walk you through some of the Do’s and Don’ts of leggings:

Leggings are NOT pants. If they don’t have pockets and they don’t have a fly, they are not pants. Please cover your hoo-ha when wearing leggings.
White leggings will never fly unless you are a ballerina or dressed in costume and even then, this is treacherous territory.
Please stop wearing leggings with open toe pumps. All this makes me think of is the Meatpacking District on a Saturday night.
Black is always best. Avoid bright colors unless you are 5’10, 110lbs.
Just because Lindsay says it’s cool, doesn’t always mean it is.http://www.lohangroupie.com/6126-leggings-by-lindsay-lohan-now-available/
Lastly, and most importantly, let’s face it… not every trend is meant for every person. Be honest with yourself, if it doesn’t look good, skip it.

Shirt is too short. Would be a cute look with the sneakers if she covered her snatch.

No. No, no, no!

This is an appropriate length for a top worn with leggings. I prefer a boot, but flats work as well.

Now go put some pants on.

Really though, why did you wear that??

By Kirsten|November 30th, 2008|Why Did You Wear That?|

After sitting back for way too long and witnessing serious crimes against fashion, I feel it is my civic duty to help those who clearly can not help themselves (a true philanthropist, I know).

So this is dedicated to anyone else who feels the pain of bad fashion or anyone who cringes when they see an illegal use of leggings. And, of course, for those who know they need help and just don’t know where to find it. I like to call it “tough love.”

More coming soon….!!!
