Ten Fall '08 Trends We Could Probably Live Without

1) Condom Tip Hats
Any hat the looks like it needs to be rolled off is a definite 'no' in my book.

Marni, Fall 2008


2) Crotch Flap Skirts
I'm waiting to see if something peeks out from behind one of them.

3) Split Personalities
Half dress, half pantsuit? Half lab coat, half cocktail dress? Oh, hell-to-the-no.

4) Giant Cheetos
I love a good cheesy snack, but not one that is trying to strangle me.

VPL, Fall 2008


5) Amoeba Dresses
Fashion Rule #62: Never wear anything that makes you look like a specimen.

6) Mr. T Necklaces
A small cluster of chains is okay, but this is just a cluster f*@k.

Givenchy, Fall 2008


7) Baby Chickens
Sorry, but the 'just hatched' look isn't working for me.

Antonio Berardi, Fall 2008


8) Alien Boobs
Take us to your leader, but only to pick up a new outfit.

Iceberg, Fall 2008


9) Inside-Out Dress Pockets
A whole 'lotta pretty -- pretty useless, pretty ugly, pretty over.

Mendel, Fall 2008


10) Beaver Tail Dresses
Slighty tapered works, but this thing looks like a beaver on steroids.

Chanel, Fall 2008

There's so many things wrong with all of these outfits but it's Chanel 'mullet' dress that has me grasping at my pearls in horror.

Britney Spears might like a giant Cheeto!

i agree with everything except the Mr. T necklaces. My inner gold chain lover comes out and makes me really like the gaudy look.

I'm completely with you expect for maybe #6 and #8. I kinda like the idea of an alien chest that kinda has a face on it...it's funny. But maybe my personality should amuse not my chest...I'll have to think it over.

dee dee said...

what is up with those two-faced outfits? gross!!!

Jill Sherman said...

toxic disco boy - thanks :)

imelda - yay, white trash couture!!

wendyb - lol, i totally forgot about britney's cheeto obsession!

the seeker - you are very welcome ;)

chelsea rae - okay, i'll let this one slide :P

the clothes horse - if you can pull off alien boobs, i say 'you go girl!'

dee dee - i guess that's what you're supposed to wear when you can't decide what to wear?

Bazaar thought those chains were going to be a big hit!

Monique said...

Condom Tip Hats!! I can just imagine the jokes that would come from them. I guess then I'd officially know what a pecker head is.

Holy crap, mutant cheetos!!

Nothing Elegant said...

I like the chains (maybe minus a couple). The cheeto thing is hilarious!!

Jill Sherman said...

enc - yes, among mr. t fans worldwide! ;P

monique - lol, pecker head! love it!!

revolver - it's like a giant cheeto took a crap!

nothing elegant - maybe a cluster of cheeto necklaces would be nice :))

I was laughing pretty hard but I've just almost toppled over after readings Imelda's comments.
Thank you- now I know what to avoid when they trickle down to my local chain store.
