Would You Wednesday: Is That a Mirror in Your Pants?

Celebrity Blues Metallic Skinny Jeans, $44

Spring and summer 2012 brought us colored and printed denim… so what precisely does the fall have in store for us in the way of denim? Brace yourselves… if brands have it their way… everyday is going to be a party. Aww sookie sookie now. Denim takes a cue from the disco era with metallic shades ranging from pure platinum to glamorous gold.

I want to say that I like it because as I think about it, I’m picturing the likes of Gisele and Miranda channeling their 70’s disco divas in shiny jeans and feathered hair, but then I remember that 98% of the population does not resemble that of a super model. This is when I start to think about ol’ Sally over there, three cubicles down sporting the trend and all of a sudden it’s anything but appealing (kind of like the tuna fish sandwich she’s chowing down on). This is most definitely one of those trends that could either be le freak c’est chic or just totally lay a gasser…

Why Did You Wear That: Hot Pants

By Kirsten|March 22nd, 2011|Why Did You Wear That?|

Another trend from the oh so styling 70’s are the infamous hotpants. While the originals are hardly suitable for public viewing, I’ve interpreted them into my own fashion. I love denim, but how many different washes and cuts can you have before growing bored? By adding some color to your denim game you can really switch things up. Now your bottom isn’t the “neutral” and you’ve added an instant pop to any outfit.

Add a floral patterned top or a sheer neutral blouse to your “hot pants” to balance the bold. A pair of strappy neutral or metallic high heeled (platform) sandals will finish off your look and have you doing the hustle in no time.
