Rompers: Cute or Just Inconvenient?

2009-09-01 Romper2009-09-01 Romper2I will be the first to admit that I totally don't get rompers and I KNOW I'm not the only one.  First of all, I'm not sure if they're even cute.  I mean it's two separate pieces sewn together. Why? Laziness?  Cause we can eliminate one step when dressing? I don't know. However, if we suspend our disbelief and accept that rompers are cute and you decide to wear one, then how the heck do you use the bathroom?  It's sewn together! Does this mean that you have to take the whole thing off and go naked when you pee? Or do you just not pee? And if the rule for rompers is that you don't pee, then how long can you wear one for and not need to pee?  I need to know from someone that has worn a romper to tell me what the socially acceptable thing is to do while in a romper; because I just do not feel comfortable getting naked in a public bathroom--I just do not! Until then, I'm going to wear what I like to call shirts and shorts.  They're just like rompers, except they're not sewn together!

Bandage Dresses: So What if I Can't Breathe!

cleopatra dressbandage dress3Herve Leger makes some amazing dresses--mostly because you have to have magic powers in order to shrink your body to wear them.  We all want them, but we all fear them.  This past weekend I was in Vegas and decided that I would try on an Herve Leger bandage dress because I wanted to feel all Halle Berry.  And I have to say, I did not succeed.  That is because I was better than Halle Berry!  When I put on that shimmery gold one shoulder bandage dress, I felt like Cleopatra in the midst of all who worshipped her and how totally hot she was.  It was so incredible to have the power of pretty.  Approximately 1 minute after having that moment, my eyes went black cause I can't really hold my breath for that long.  Plus it was all I could do from vomiting from all my stomach contents pushed up to my neck.  But oh the feeling.  Highly recommend! (But not if you're fat, cause then you'll die--for sure).

Most Ridiculous J-Crew Buy of the Week

2009-08-18 JCrewI have attempted to stop my madness regarding JCrew and their outrageous prices for outrageously roach clothes.  I almost wanted to even forgive JCrew for taking advantage of the average cardigan-wearing woman.  But how can I do so when an abomination such as this dress exists? And how can I do so when this abomination exists at the low low price of $2,000.00!!!!  There is no way that I can turn a blind eye from this feathers and rosette nightmare.  The feathers on the skirt, with the ruffle rosettes on top, and that paper mache looking fabric?! It's so weird! Not to mention totally roach.  I am so done with JCrew couture.  I mean, JCrew should stop pretending like they're Marc Jacobs and start acting like they're Gap. I am convinced that JCrew is doing this on purpose.  It's like when rich people get so rich that they get other people to cut their toenails for them every Tuesdays and Thursdays.  JCrew is gotten so powerful selling cardigans that they don't give a crap anymore; they're just gonna sell really ridiculous clothes at ridiculous prices.  It's so maddening, like this dress. There is no self-respecting woman that would wear this dress past the age of 7--the age when you're obsessed with making dresses out of paper mache.
