Just goes to show you should never say never — because never is the next new thing! The Texas tuxedo<\/a> is in fashion thanks to Chloe, Ralph Lauren and D&G, who all showed head-to-toe denim last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Gap is promoting its versions of the Chloe look. I keep admiring the ads in various magazines while wondering, “Does this look great because it’s really great? Or just because it’s worn by great-looking people?”<\/p>\n

If you think you’re sex-ay enough to carry off head-to-toe denim, two of the jackets really appeal to me. Not the motorcycle-style jacket<\/a>. Personally, I have enough of the motorcycle look: jacket<\/a>, jacket<\/a>, dress<\/a>. But I love the blazer …<\/p>\n

The traditional accessory for a Texas tuxedo is a bolo tie<\/a>. I should look around and see if I still have the one I wore in the early ’80s. Yep, we all had them. Don’t laugh. You’ll probably be desperate for one any day now. Like I said, never say never … and I’ve been right before<\/a>, bitches!<\/p>\n

UPDATED TO ADD: The Shoe Girl is way ahead of y’all with the bolo tie. You better catch up!<\/p>\n
