I'm going to go out on a limb here to say a few words about two popular trends. I've sat on my fingers, held my tongue, and overlooked the pictures, now it's time to contradict what seems to be two popularly painful styles this season: High waisted pants and Ugg boots.
First are the up-to-your ears waistlines we've been seeing. Maybe it's just me, but this certainly does nothing to enhance my figure. I think of plaid polyester. I think of grandpa. I don't think of my mid-tenties and being fashionably fabulous. Even Jessica Simpson appears to have a poochy, grandfatherly look in this wear.
Next, Ugg boots. UGG BOOTS?! I just don't understand. Mucking out cow stalls, yes, everyday wear? I just don't understand. There are so many styles of boots this season. Cute boots. Sexy boots. Wearable boots. And somehow these made the cut. Even worse, maybe I'll be spotting them with the highest of waisted pants-- or [gasp] shorts!
I'll humbly step off my podium, and face the crisp air of winter with some skinny slacks, leather wedge boots, and a fuzzy oversized sweater and scarf. This is how I'll be... no doubt also finding two big boxes under the tree this year... containing a certain pair of pants from grandpa, and Aunt Jane's favorite boots for down on the farm. = )
