I picked up the Marie Claire 200th issue in my local cafe the other morning. Talk about late to the party. That’s me. I flicked through the pages and I found myself going, yes, no, yes, yes, no. Not about the stories or the models as I would have in the past, but about looks that would or wouldn’t work for me. Turns out, I’ve got a personal style now.
I see something and start to imagine it amongst the clothes in my wardrobe. When and where I could wear it. How I would wear it. There’s this process in my brain that goes something like oooo, I likey. Where have I seen it. Would that item fit me at the shop where I’ve seen it. Maybe I should go online and look. I’ll maybe do a shout out on twitter etc etc.
And so, my collection develops. Or doesn’t. Because sometimes finding on trend stuff, with a reasonable price tag is ridiculously hard. Why is that? Surely Australia can’t be that far behind or away from the others to justify the cost. I do love to shop an end of season sale though. Absolutely. Too bad all the stock doesn’t just show up at end of season prices. Haha.
But back to the magazine. I flicked another page and I saw it.
Pajama-rama.
Oh dear lord, what the holy heck IS THAT? I thought with my head tilted to the side and lip sort of curled. Now I’ve got the grandpa slippers {called smoking slippers in the article} but I still can’t bring myself to lust after an item of clothing that makes it look like I woke up and forgot to get dressed before going out, like a crazy person. My hair says that on its own, thank you very much. So it’s a no for me. No matter what.
What trends are you saying no to this year?
Hi! I’m Suger; Chief Blogger at Suger Coat It. Blogging since 1901; love a casual ootd, taking photos + writing about things that irk or inspire me. I love wine and cheese, long days in the sun at the beach and spending time with my family. I make stuff for the internet. Which means I take photos, create content, write copy and devise social media plans for personal brands, small businesses and bloggers. You know, living the sweet life.
Pajamas in public can only be pulled off by small children at the drive in and mental patients. ALSO, I will not, will not accept the mullet skirt/dress look. Bad in a hairstyle, bad in a dress.
Haha. Love it!
Now about the mullet thing… What about a small dip at the back?
I like pyjamas, but strictly as bed wear. And if I’m staying home not feeling so good,I’ll keep them on so I can just crawl back into bed anytime I want. But never, ever as outside wear. Never, never, never.
Well it looks like you have everything you need for this trend at home too. Sigh. For all of us, to be so prepared and SO disinterested, it’s a shame really. Haha.
With such wide hips, I’m definitely giving the whole peplum look a wide berth! As for pyjama-rama…I’ll wear it as long as I can take my bra off too! No? Okay, looks like it’s a no for this look too. lol
Haha. It really would be pj time if bra’s were off. Love it! I think that should be the prerequisite. 😉
Try a cute jacket with a peplum ‘tail’, that might work. If you were desperate to give it a go.
Errrr no thanks. This is why I don’t get fashion at all.
I think in this case especially it’s not you, it’s them. 😛
errrr yeah I’ll be skipping that one 😛
Haha. YES. And to think it’s the ONE trend I had everything in my wardrobe for already. 😉
