That patchwork chair is to DIE for. My piano's bench is in SERIOUS need of recovering, and this is seriously inspiring me - can you imagine how unexpected this would be on a lowly piano bench? Oh yes, yes yes! re: dress is out? HAHAHA. Well, I guess I'm out, then! This is just utterly ridiculous. I can only imagine some stressed out fashionista desperately trying to create some new kind of pronouncement for fall. What to do, what to do, what to do? I know, let's ban an entire GARMENT!! Oh, it's so laughable. Some of the commenters on dress a day make a good point: perhaps the more independently-minded can make a serious dress haul at the thrifts and consignment this autumn. as I type, some chartreuse-painted lace trim is on the dryer on HIGH, curing before I attach it to my new DRESS that I won off ebay, yippee... thanks for the links!

Indeed, even for trendhawks, 'dress' is far broader than 'wide leg' or 'ethnic print...' What a load of garbage. My word, did that dress article make me mad!

I think I've found a solution! :D it kills me that designers have pronounced the "dress is out", considering they've pushed it so hard for several seasons. I think, like pants, dresses are a basic wardrobe item, despite what high-and-mighty fashion editors might like us to believe. besides, I like dresses too much--I'm not going to let any talking head who has an agenda. ;) lol. amazing links as always! thanks especially for that link on painting lace trim; I have a stash of “ugly” thrifted trim that I love the design of, but hate the color… I think I’ve found a solution! :D

Everyone should try and develop their own style based on their body type, color preference, way of life, etc. I try not to fall prey to trends . . . but, every once in a while, it's fun to see a new trend b/c sometimes I think, "oh, I forgot that (gladiator sandals, prairie skirt, cigarette pants, shift dress, etc.) looked good on me." Or it will encourage me to try it for the first time and then it becomes part of my regular repertoire. But, yes, it is silly when fashion writers write things like "the dress is out." I think that is more a reflection of the public being over-saturated with all the "fast fashion" (I mean, really, how many seasons are there now? Like, 8?) and so the writers need to say *something* to get attention. Oh well. They have to earn their living, too, I guess. But, what I really want to know, is what are your thoughts on this whole Gossip Girl fashion thing? I don't have a TV so I have never seen the show, but I have seen many fashion bloggers (and others) blog about it. Thoughts?
