I will be the first to admit that I am not on the cutting edge of fashion. I have neither the figure nor the funds to wear the latest designer item but I do stay current and adopt pieces that fit in with my wardrobe and "who I am." Nevertheless, knowing that I am not a sartorial maven has kept my mind open to trends worn by others. And by others I mean others; anyone ranging from celebrities, to the looks I see on the pages of my favorite magazines (and I read entirely too many) and last but certainly not least, the amazingly stylish women I see shopping at the Melrose Trading Post. I am the sort to appreciate something that looks good whether or not I believe it would look good on me.Is it just me or have celebrities been pushing the envelope a little too far lately? Case in point: Sandal Booties. Why would anyone intentionally wear a shoe that made their foot look like it belongs on Scrooge McDuck? Is this meant to be a tongue-in-cheek, anti-fashion fashion statement that just went over my head?

I just discovered your blog from a comment on Nessa's, and I'm already hooked.
You are just the witty cynic my morning blog routine needed.
You have no idea how much that compliment means to me. I'm still blushing! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You totally made my day =D.
On the subject of ridiculous fashion, did the US suffer the same horrifically long-lived footless-tights trend? Uggh! Hideous things, no one past the age of 6 may wear dungarees or leggings.
I don't pay attention to fashion trends, particularly, I buy what suits me on the rare occasion I can find it.
Don't blush, I adore you =D
Oh noes, I like footless tights =X. Would it help any if I said that I wear them with boots so that they ultimately look more like regular tights? I just like being able to wear socks with my boots and feel silly wearing boots without a tight (of some sort) underneath.
But to answer your question, the leggings thing is beginning to die down but it was definitely huge for a while.
As long as you don't wear them with daft leopard-print slipper-type-shoes, I forgive you. My idea of fashion is my hooded top with the period table of elements on it.
