Frills and Shit/Lady Dressing/Pre Excitement for Pre Fall


Those of you who are lucky enough to be graced with my weirdness on a semi-regular basis may have heard me inquire, quite legitimately, whether or not I appear to in fact like other girls. IE: me in size 30 destructo* jeans, brogues, and a men’s XXL topshop tshirt, “do I look like a lesbian right now?” my roommate: “you might want to find a smaller shirt” Me: sad face.  THE POINT BEING comfort reigns supreme in my daily life/dressing habits, and coupled with the fact that I can really get down with androgynous (read: not girly) clothes, results in my forgetting that I have a female figure at times.  That being said, while perusing the pre-fall shows a magical tingly sensation spread over my body after seeing the supa fem girly girl dresses, gypsy-lady skirts, and grandma lace that was featured front and center at all the shows!!!! WOWOWOW! PANTS BEGONE! I can’t wait to get my bod in these solid gold lady clothes. This stuff is actually wearable, a concept often forgotten in high fashion. Not only do they make sweet street duds (ok, I admit that's a sliiight stretch- but stick with me here) that but they are flattering to those of us less pin-shaped than the models the clothes are shown on. Awesome because I like cheeseburgers. (TMI? too bad.) Some may argue HEY these are fall styles dummy! But let’s be real, if I was trying to dress on-trend/in-season….well that’s never happened so I’m not even sure what trying would look like. 


Roberto Cavalli
Jesus. Even though Gypsies may be the most hated race (?) of people in Europe I will gladly make like a psychedelic urchin girl if I can dress like this.  Fabric on fabric on fabric touchin the floor, animal prints, the color aubergine and furrrrrrrrr. Yum.


Isabel Marant
Isabel Marant has once again managed to capture and reproduce a ‘I just pulled this off the floor of my closet and threw it on, IDGAF, don’t you want to be me?’ vibe.  Yes Isabel, yes I want to be you.  She’s pulling a sexy western cowgirl/annie’s got a gun theme for her fall ’12 show, and I for one am digging it. Emphasis on the short hemlines and frills. Plus dress + leather ankle boots = fun

Now let's be real people.
I could realistically afford approximately one button from the back of the epic mermaid Cavalli skirt picture above OR a single stud from the sweet Isabel Marant booties in the pics. OR people, not and, or.  This shiz is so crazy expensive that for now I am relegated to drooling on my computer screen while dreaming studded leather boot day dreams, but ALAS the unplumbed depths of my closet (think 20,000 leagues under the sea, Dr. Nero would be scared) have much to offer.  I present my findings…
