Trends and Dilemmas

Just.. I can't. No. Maybe in a different color. And print. And shape.

Rodarte Fall-Winter 2012-13

I've been on trend watch for fall and I've been seeing tons of things I like. Maybe. Since theres a lot to cover, let's start with what's being called "granny chic". Sometimes granny is good, like when she sends you cookies. I don't think dressing like the Queen of England is really the best fashion choice for anyone (with the exception of the queen).  

Here's a much more pleasant way to go granny.

The only thing better than the grandma look is the grandpa look. 

Ralph Lauren Fall-Winter 2012-13

RL, why? Why did you do this to me? I love Ralph Lauren but he's been making a LOT of mistakes. The Olympics mishap, Romney's Yarmulke.. RL, what are you thinking? Stop.

I guess this fall and winter are going to be full of eccentric pieces, that look wrinkly. But more fashionably, "rumpled". My advice is to pick an eccentric piece and style it down. Printed sweater? Wear it with some plain trousers and fabulous shoes. Don't dress like you're on the runway to go to work, dress like you just so happened to own this and "Oh is this old thing is in style now?"

One more quick tip, don't over do the tweed!
