Fashion for all!!


Well , it was never for the ugly betties but how much of it is plain ludicrous.I mean how do they expect the runaway to trickle down into our wardrobes without encountering aesthetic-suicide!!
We all had our eyes on the Spring-summer Maxi or the hitch hiker's Mini ,but when it comes down to the real street fashion how many of us can really pull it off??
Pulling it off the rack & into our shopping carts ,we can all manage,but at the risk of sporting a Bridget Jones or should i say a Tyra banks(in the blue jumpsuit on the right)...??Who are we kidding??Meanwhile if those overly-puffed up sleeves were supposed to balance the mutton-leg show,it fails miserably!!
Why are the most adorable of clothes, not in a desperate-to-be-decent length???Why do all beautiful dresses end up at an upward of 30" , barely mid thigh!!!



The ancient Chinese prescription of feet-bound women translated into an erotic gait & literally meant less independence for the fairer sex.Hobnobbing through life with your feet in mummy bandages ...wonder if fashion today is any different??Not when we adopt these-- a fusion of a sky-rocketing stiletto & the gladiator...



The trend of the oversize!!Alas ..this cyan clutch is so damn
beautiful..the color is absolutely sinful..but since it
suffers from gigantism..will have to give this one up...I am usually an overtly confident person but frankly it would take me eons to muster up enough fashion -petulance to carry this one off.




Now why would you screw a beautiful Fendi clutch,the chick in white is walking down with that one.Simply can't make out if its an over-priced file folder or a tool-kit!!
The silhouette of this kinda clutch invariably remains the same--the flattened-out rectangle & the purpose--an evening bag,then why the ginormous dimensions??



The carry-all!!(c below)This one i have to own up of indulging in.Well like most females ,got blinded by one asset(color in my case) & was totally side-tracked from the practicality.But i managed to put it to good use..it went onto become be my weekender or vacation bag..So more often than not its graced by Pringle-debris & melting Musketeers..besides other things.Its good for a lot of junk in the trunk but one you can forget about foraying through.I have to admit,the practicality aside its a damn heavy load to carry ,why not carry a knapsack instead??
But for the fashion-addict ,what does one possibly need over the course of a day which one absolutely can't live without?? A bag of diapers ..a laptop perhaps...or groceries maybe....Katieee..why did you do this??


P.S. "The Foundation for Chiropractic Progress " quotes these popular purses cause postural imbalance which may have dire consequences for spinal discs ,nervous systems besides back pains & headaches...now who has the last laugh!!


The Harem.This one i have been dying to try but the Vanity sizing wouldn't help.I am not a zero-zero or a 2 or a 4 for that matter...i am sure most of us don't fit into these blip nature-defying stats!!
So do i or not..run the risk of accentuating what i already have ample of .. or am i to understand that this is just another way of celebrating the bootylicious..
In some cultures,the churidar/salwar aka the harem would call for covering up but no more!!...Maximum girth is a highly practical clothing solution for a day of hard work but if you were to pair up these with a minimum 4-incher (the to-die-for runaway look), the teetering about would so totally kill the purpose..don't u think..





The war of the Knock-offs.In the US,selling a knock-off is illegal,in the UK even sporting one is...and in India,well there is hardly any original!!The counterfeit goods bizness has had a glamorous spin & even the likes of Piper Palin do not shy away from brandishing a fake LV.
Like the one in the image to the right is a class knock-off!!
Yeah it would kill me to carry a 1500$ bag if the rest of my outfit screams retail..so i would bide my time & hope to reach there someday...till then to all LV's ,MJ's,Mulberry's...Adios!!
