Why?

Oprah just recently aired her 2007 Holiday Favorite Things episode.  Being on a favorite things episode is one of my all time dreams!  It’s up there with winning the lottery.  One of her faves was Rachel Pally’s Swing Turtle Neck and Sailor Pants.  I’m sure they are very comfortable, but c’mon… I would not be caught dead in that.  They look like pajamas with a touch of 70’s dinner party wear. Oprah inspires many women all over the world.  If she told people to eat a cherry everyday on a plastic spoon… they’d do it!  Why?  Because, Oprah said so.  And, as much as I love this woman, her love for these over sized clothes will lead to a wide spread of woman looking like those yip-yip-yip aliens from Sesame Street. 

 

Trend Alert: The Sequined Dress

A must have for this winter is the sequined dress.  At this point I’m not rushing to the stores to purchase this particular look.  If you’ve been to the mall lately you’ll notice that almost every section has a sequined –something- There’s nothing worse than showing up at a Christmas party to find out another person is wearing your same exact dress!!! No thanks! Regardless, they are all the rage right now.  I suggest that because the dress is so “look-at-me” you keep your accessories low key.  Avoid metallic or other sequined things.  Make your dress the focal point.
