Fashion victim has fatal accident in pants.

I would looove to start this blog on a positive note, but I just saw something so disturbing that I am afraid I have to stop and address it. While you wait breathlessly I will attempt to organize my descriptive thought process enough to fully describe the horror that is.....







Cropped harem pants.







For some reason designers are attempting to bring on a revival of this MC Hammer style fashion not seen since the late 80's. And we saw how well they worked for him....







Anyway, I had heard rumors of them but had not actually witnessed a pair yet. I was schmoozing the BCBG website this morning looking for the faboo new wedgies I purchased so that I could drool even more over them when I clicked on the link for "resort wear". And there they were in technicolor fuschia (very hot this spring). I froze and seriously, even the model looked embarassed.







My god, what resort would allow you to be seen in these pants? I have to add an image, please if you have small children or people with fashion disabilities by all means send them from the room as you view these. I'm sorry, but no matter how you dress these up they will always be a fashion do not ever.







I may start a campaign "I'd rather go naked than...." Me naked, proudly not sporting the pants superimposed over the designers pushing this tired trend being brutally beaten with handbags by outraged fashionistas.







Anyway, back to my to die for new shoes. First spring 2009 accessory purchase. It was an accident I swear. My car turned into the parking lot of Country Cobbler because the huge sign out front said something about a winter sale. Like I would buy winter shoes about now! What am I going to do..save them for next winter? I'll admit I did cruise the sale aisle looking for little classic Cole Haan loafers that I don't wear, and then duty done gleefully skipped over to the fun, new shoes.







I tried on a few styles of the Donald Pliner sandals they offered and they looked a bit like those dreadful Hebrew daywear wedgies you see old women wearing in West Palm. All I needed was some knee highs pushed down around my ankles to complete the look. I could have found gold spattered scuffs at any Family Dollar store south of Orlando, so I moved on. Just a word about Country Cobbler. Valdosta is hardly the fashion capital of the south, but we have some oddly fashionable stores here. Little boutiques for the most part. Here is the mystery though, where do the women that buy these clothes go? I never see anyone here dressed well, even casually dressed well. Yet there are cute clothing and accessory stores. Maybe they wear them when they go out of town, which makes complete sense as there is a lack of anywhere to go here. Country Cobbler has an odd mixture of Grandma's best church shoes and fun, fashion forward goodies.





My eyes lit on the BCBGirls Ramos2 ankle wrapped wedgie. Then out came the credit card.




What a girl wants......

Screw my new austerity plan....again.


I can't wait to find some other cute clothes to go with these.

I love a new fashion season.

Bye for now, I am going to put on my shoes and covet, covet, covet.
