Fashion Bloggers Caught Red-Legged, Vintage Edition
I found my own red-pants photo too late for yesterday’s post on red-legged bloggers, so it gets a special post. This was taken in Prague in 1999 or so. I’m a little demoralized to see how long I’ve been dependent on black t-shirts. I had those pants in black too. I gave away the red…
Fashion Bloggers Caught Red-Legged, Part II
Last month, I wrote that red legs — whether pants, tights or leggings — are the hot look among fashion bloggers. It’s a look that is still going strong. Here are a few of the recent examples. Click the photos to go to the original posts. And Lara of My Milk Glass Heart pointed out…
Bear-y Strange Fashion Memory and Related Thoughts
My post about panda dresses reminded me of a fashion fad from my childhood: clip-on koalas. For a year or so, it was de rigueur to walk around with a small, stuffed koala toy clipped to one’s shirt or jacket. They came in gray and tan. Eventually there was a clip-on panda too. I was…
Knickers Are the Next New Thing
A gorgeous friend who is aware of my “Never is the next new thing™” fashion philosophy asked me last week what the next new thing would be. I said that I didn’t know because I didn’t see anything that would provoke the “I would NEVER wear that!” reaction that has predicted fashion trends including skinny…

Leather-Shorts Leader and More Double Denim
In today’s Wall Street Journal, the delightful Rachel Dodes reports that leather shorts are hot, but not in the “too hot to wear in the summer” way. They’re hot as in “selling like hotcakes.” Rachel (with whom I’m acquainted) writes, “The new look made its runway debut last season in the shows of Chloe and…
Outfit Post: All Clogged Up
I used to say, “Never say never” when it comes to fashion, but I’m taking it to the next level and declaring, “Never is the next new thing.” I’m convinced that the styles that are most hated at first — the ones that make people say, “Never!” — are the ones that are most loved…
