Some (Very) Bad Takes On Some Pretty Cool Trends

This blouse is practically molting.

Maybe Try Instead: A single ruffle accent on an otherwise streamlined shape.

“It puts the lotion in the basket.”

Shudder.

Maybe Try Instead: The shoe minus the sock.

I like wearing white. I like wearing jackets. I do not like wearing white jackets that make me look like my child’s favorite snack.

Maybe Try Instead: Something a touch more streamlined (that just so happens to be L’Agence and 60% off, ahem).

When a dress has this much going on, it is no longer a dress. It is a frock.

No frocks.

Maybe Try Instead: A shape that’s more structural than sweet.

Not recommended: anything that looks it was expressly created for an elementary school performance of The Little Matchstick Girl.

Maybe Try Instead: A sporty pattern in a super-cool shape.

Gucci is seriously bringing the crazy with their footwear lately, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love it. I think I even posted about liking these exact shoes a few weeks ago. I do like them. I also like not having broken ankles.

Maybe Try Instead: A pair less likely to result in damage to your person (or to your bank account).

The fact that the “complete the look” suggestion for this particular pair of pants is a top that covers them up entirely says a lot.

Maybe Try Instead: A deconstructed cargo pant from the same brand that makes a similarly major statement, but in a much more flattering way.

The lady on the left pretty much sums up how I feel about this particular trend. The only statement I see here is “I may or may not be growing a plant out of my cheek.”

Maybe Try Instead: An asymmetrical pair with all the drama and none of the icks.

I would like to say that I am officially not on board with newsboy caps being a thing again, but what Anna Wintour says goes. …I guess.

Maybe Try Instead: If you must do this to your head, at least do it with Eugenia Kim.
