Fashion, fun finds and musings from an Artist; Model; Writer
I'm scheduled to walk in a local fashion show. This will be the first show I've done since leaving Seattle and the first one I've considered since the pregnancy... which is one reason last month was the first meeting/fitting I've been to.
Accepting the invitation to model for local designers was one thing, but being in my last trimester of carrying a 7 plus pound boy was another all together. (They contacted me from my portfolio on a modeling group's website.) It's five weeks since delivery and I'm back to pre-baby weight. Not quite pre-baby body, but it's getting closer.
I'm anxious to find out what Nashville is all about.
What's the latest craze in celebrity fashion? Colored jeans! This bold statement is a favorite for many of the stars.
I have to say that this look is another tricky trend to pull together. When it comes to that much color, it's easy to look more like a side-show cirucus on two legs than a glamour girl. If you do opt for bright and bold, be sure to keep your top half more subdued. Too much going on with your outfit it going to have you competing for a spot in the latest magazine layout as a featured figure of fashion horrors.
Personally, I don't plan to change from the blue color palette of my jeans. Ripped, patched, and varying shades is enough for me without stepping into the wilds of crayola.

Skinny jeans have been hugging the slim physique of rockers for years now. From the grunge scene to street chic, men are adopting this trend on and off the stage. But should this look be a keeper or is it high time it took a stage-left exit?
Personally, I find very few categories of men can pull off the skinny jean look. You need to have a naturally slender build with tight enough abs to keep the dreaded waistband "overhang" at bay. For rockers crooning to fans and girating all over the stage, this look (usually) works. I've gotten used to musicians and artists adorning thigh-hugging pants. However, if you don't look like the 'artisy' type, it falls flat. If a man hopes to look 'sexy,' wearing skinny jeans would guarantee a category of women (which I belong to) would not find them attractive by default. In short, leave it to the true artists and creatives to dress the part. If you don't live and breathe it, it's time to adopt your own style and find something that works for you.
