Hot or Not: Embellished Tights

embellished-tights-fall

This fall, embellished and patterned tights are all the rage. Not only were models sporting them all over the fall runways, but this funky fall trend was also featured in numerous August fashion issues. I can already envision a ton of DIY’s for this trend all over the fashion blogging scene. I am all about a little sparkle and embellishment, but I personally wouldn’t want my legwear weighing as much as I do! I am also curious as to how well these tights will hold up, seems like the embellishment would just rip and snag the fabric, right? For me, the verdict is still out on this Fall trend…how about you?

Hot or Not: Socks with Heels?

Wearing socks, no matter whether ankle or knee high, with heels have been on and off the runway for years now. Recently, they seem to have popped back up everywhere and I still can’t seem to decide my feelings toward this trend. These popular Weardrobe gals seem to pull it off fabulously, but I am not sure I could do the same.

What do you guys think, hot or not?

Hot or Not: Matte Nail Polish

Has the lackluster economy robbed the luster from our manicures? One of the big trends for fall is matte nail color, a big change from summer’s popular neon brights. Popular companies like OPI, Essie, ManGlaze and KnockOut have gotten in on the action with colors like asphalt, cement, and ink. Essie has even gone as far to offer a mattifier for your manicure that can be layered over any traditional nail color for that ever popular matte finish.

I am on the fence with this trend. On the one hand (ha, ha) I think it looks like a 3 year old took a half dead sharpie to your nails…but on the other hand, something about the look is a little intriguing with the dark colors for fall. Overall, I am not sure this is a trend I will be joining in on, but with colors like concrete and asphalt I am sure all the transportation engineers I work with will be all over it. Will you go matte or stick with shine?

What I DON’T Want Now!

And you shouldn’t either!

Why, oh why must American Apparel try to bring back the scrunchie? Haven’t they seen that episode of Sex and the City?

“What sophisticated New York woman walks around town in a SCRUNCHIE?!”

What sophisticated woman ANYWHERE walks around town in a scrunchie? Apparently ones that shop at American Apparel.

The 80′s were fun, of course I was playing with Barbies and Babydolls, but I have no interest in this 80′s fashion comeback.  I hope for your own sake, you don’t either!

Once again, the ’80′s are making their way back. I remember I had a pair of white GUESS jeans that I wore out in middle school! I actually kind of think this look is HOT, especially the skinnies. I think they will be a great staple for summer with light, flowy blouses, and cute ballet flats.
