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…
(from top) skirt/free people skirt/free people dress/vintage dress/lucky brand
ps- pardon the "unique" (mediocre) photography, I am currently tripod-less
*anything with more
than 3 holes in it. whether intentional or not…
