Are you tired of wearing shorts and t-shirts? Are you ready for courduroy and wool? Perhaps the weather is not obliging - our temps are in the 90's for the rest of the week - but the fashion industry is touting it's fall lines, and the stores have back-to-school clothing on display. (They also have *halloween* candy out, but that's another rant entirely.) What is in store for the chic and trendy this fall? What was presented as "ready-to wear"? Apparently more of the figure destroying that has been out there recently. Yes, the "guaranteed to make you look pregnant" tops and dresses continue for this next season, but we also get this: the cropped menswear trouser.
Yes, even the super skinny models look hippy in these trousers. What hope is there for the rest of womankind?
Okay, so let's change things around, and put the volume on top: puffed sleeves.
These would make Anne of Green Gables jealous. Alrighty then, how about volume all around? And in a color most people run from:
So, jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt might just stay a staple in most people's closets. That's not to say that the designers made each collection a complete flop - there are some wearable items out there. And there's color! For more fashion shows, check out Style.com. The couture lines may make you laugh out loud!

Not having had the oil changed on our Cavalier since February, I decided to celebrate our anniversary by using the coupon for free service at Firestone. Even though I take a book, my attempts to comprehend anything that I read are usually futile. The television mocks you the whole time that you sit in the lobby. So, I saw the Fall fashions on one of the morning "news" programs. I have to agree with you on cropped trousers. They remind me of a pair of "capris" that I got second hand. NOT FLATTERING. They will hang in my closet pretending like they will be altered until I decide to give them back to a thrift store.
