As I sit at my desk listening to the thunder roll (thank Garth for that ditty) eating green beans from a can, hey, it's not gross, I microwaved them and I am starving, I think to myself a) why has the sun not come out yet it's nearly noon and b) why has my life spun so out of control that I can no longer consistently express myself on TheWellSet.com?
Well, with a great BIG apology, I say I'm sorry for being so focused on my paying job that my once creative outlet has hit the back burner - but, I miss ya'll and most of all I miss my creative outlet! I know some of you read last week's anti-clog rant and I'm sorry to all of those that love clogs, but trust me your toes will thank you, it'll be 100 degrees soon and that is just silly. To continue with my new theme of WTF, why is this considered summer clothes?
I'd like to take a moment to discuss the leather trend.
It started with a few pairs of leather shorts. Ok, shorts are all the rage and the weight of the leather shorts on the Chloe' '09 RTW (left) and DVF (right) runways looked nice and balanced out the flouncy blouses floating around. Sure you could buy these and wear them in the transitional months of from Winter to Spring and not feel so silly for wearing shorts when it's still coldish... BUT, designers have gone TOO FAR with what they are referring to as "All Weather Leather." - Once again Who.What.Wear is off:
-yup, there are even leather sunglasses folks-
Yes, it's a lovely play on words and may be appropriate if you aren't from one of the sweatier states like Texas or Alabama, but please don't spend your hard earned doll-hairs ($) on this trend. Just like the clear stripper heals, the clogs, and Chanel's kitschy Spring show I give this trend one big "Oh Brother" and three "Not this time Depps!" {Have you seen Aunt Linda on SNL Weekend Update? Please watch here if you haven't- she's pee your pants funny}
Please, take my unsolicited advise and buy yourself some lovely linen or silk blend shorts. Your behind will thank you.
