Fashion Friday: Holy Crapoly! Ann’s Got Her Groove Back.

I remember the ole’ college days when my girlfriends and I dreamed of the day that we could afford Ann Taylor clothes.  It was all the rage.  Then over the years, AT became (ok, I am just going to say it…..)  busted.    I am here to tell you the old Ann is gone.. this girl’s got a brand new look and it is on point.   I was watching the Today show yesterday and spotted this neon number and my eyes just about popped out of my head.
 So, of course, I went right to my computer and was stunned at the newest jewelry collection.

Fashion Friday: Colored Denim.

You have to be living under a rock if you haven’t noticed the insurgence of colored denim as of late.  I am a big proponent of this trend.  

I counted the pairs of colored denim in my closet last night and I am up to nine.  I have paid every price point, but nothing was a better deal than these from Old Navy.  The colors are great, the material is stretchy and the price can’t be beat.  My only advice:  order TWO sizes bigger than you usually wear and if you are over 5′ 7″, order a long.

Fashion Friday: Loving Leopard.

I adore animal prints.  Leopard and Zebra are at the top of my list. I love to rock my Wildcat blouse from J. Crew.  ( Sold out, #1 below.)
Whenever I wear it, Mike calls me Peg Bundy.  So, it got me to thinking that there is a lot of tasteful leopard out there, but there is even more not-so-tasteful leopard.  First, let’s take a look at leopard done right.
This is obviously leopard gone wrong.  
Here are some tips to get it right:
  • Leopard print clothing should not be tight.
  • Stay away from spandex, rayon and velour.
  • Leopard print is a statement.  Don’t make too many statements in one outfit.
  • Stick to one leopard print piece per outfit.  (Steer clear of matching shoes, handbag, etc.)
  • For a more updated look, mix leopard print with bright fun colors, think green, blue, orange, pink.
  • Stay away from leopard athletic wear.
  • Everything in moderation.  
Here are some of my favorite leopard items of the moment.  Please do not wear more than one at a time. 😉

Zara Online Store: What a Bust.

Dear Zara,

You know I love you.  I am one of your biggest fans.  But your long awaited online store that I hyped up with a vengeance has been a major bust.   You should be ashamed of yourself.  Please work on getting some color infused into your selection.  These ensembles look like something from a Bradlee’s Sunday paper ad (Circa 1983.)  I am so very disappointed in you.  Get your sh%t together.

Sincerely,
Krista.

Don’t beleive me?…. See for yourself.

Blah.
