Let's Go Sweater Shopping!


I had no idea that looking through the Sweater pages would be such a goldmine of material. These two sweaters are simply an example of when designers take an idea and kill it. I don't want to look that boxy - thanks. These are both about $200 each and made of a silk knit so they ain't that warm either.

Your Inner Dweeb


Who-hoo! I have always wanted my man to look like this. Can you imagine going out in public with this guy? Maybe you will be going on a picnic or walking around Martha's Vineyard in the spring, either way it's Dork Wear for sure. The sweater is priced at $790 and its COTTON - yeah you heard me right. The shorts are also cotton but those are only $535. Only.

I'm Ashamed...I Have Worn This


Back in the day I had something very similar to this swell jumpsuit. Mine also had the palazzo pants but it was short sleeved with a scoop neck. I used to wear it to work. It was the 90's - leave me alone. However mine did not give me a camel toe which this seems to be doing, and mine certainly did not cost $1395.00.

I Found My Mom's Housedress


This "shift" dress has crossed a line somewhere into the dread housedress territory. I want to blame it on the pockets in the front - they are horrible and ill-placed. The color is very K-Mart circa 1978. Bleh. And its $288. Buy this at your own risk.

Urban Adult Waif


The model here looks so forlorn. Of course she does! She is only wearing a wrinkled shirt and horrible boots. Why does she have tan boots on with a grey dress? Why is she trying to look like an unhappy 11 year old? This dress was from my favorite Urban website costing you $48. Even tho its a bargain, is it right?

Does This Suck?


I cannot decide about this. Its very exaggerated so it perplexes me. I want your comments, tell me what you think. Does this suck?

How Interesting...


This is a vest. The price is $180. Yes I know. The back is the same.

Toilet Paper Squares


I couldn't help but think this one looked like TP squares stuck to a plain dress. But why just the front? Did they run out of patience with it? The model is a lovely woman and the color suits her but its not attractive or complimentary. If you are spending $4990.00 for this dress, the least they can do is finish the back.

The Most Expensive Flip-Flop Ever


Let's say you just won the lottery and you have money to burn, well I have the shoes for you. Listen, I love Christian Louboutin as much or more that the next girl - a sexy shoe is a soothing balm to the soul as far as I'm concerned. But honestly - $495 for this patent leather in either white or black? I have two words for you - Pay Less.

Wear Your Robe to Work with Pants


Back when I had a regular 9-5 type job, there were lots of times that I laughingly considered how nice it might be to just roll out of bed, throw on slippers and go to work. But I never ACTUALLY did that. Look how fashionable I would have been had I been so bold! Ahead of my time, that's what my co-workers might have said. Or I would have been called my into my bosses office and sent home to change into something more appropriate. But for $990.00 this silk satin kimono is just the thing that would make my boss scratch his/her head and wonder if it really is a dress code violation. Oh and the Camisole is $145 - who spends that kind of money on a cami?

A Dress Over Your Dad's Undershirt


I say lose the tank top - why wear this dress over it? Did you lose your strapless bra? The description of this color combo is fabulous! White bust, red/yellow lava-printed bodice, and black skirt. Its not red, its LAVA. This Jean Paul Gaultier Tiered Plisse Gown is $3520.

Orange Mu-Mu


Michael Kors made this - and its a shame considering how ugly it is. I watch Project Runway religiously. He should be "out". This dress is silk chiffon "kimono" style and costs $2995. Is it just me or is this something that Mrs. Brady would wear?
