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.

Look for Less: Polished and Practical

By |December 4th, 2011|Look for Less, Why Did You Wear That?|

It sorta seems like life went ahead and decided to cram as much as possible into the last few months of the year.  Sort of like it forgot and then was like, “Oh crap! We gotta do all this.”  So, that keeps ladies like you and me pretty busy.  In between all of the end of year festivities, we still need to find time to run those never ending errands.  They sure don’t take a holiday, do they?  This is where that whole “fashion vs function” argument comes into play.  Is it ever possible to be both?  These three celebrities prove that it is, in fact, feasible to be both polished and practical while running errands.

Why Did You Wear That: Wide Load

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.
