Fashion Plate

Now every season has its fashion trends, and this summer is no different. There's the peasant skirt, the thick belt, the sparkly shoes, the metallic purse, the wooden cuff, the chunky necklace...just to name a few. And fine, everyone has a few of these trendy items in their closet every season, but the point is to wear one or two at the time to update your look, not, like this poor girl I saw this morning, to cut your look from eight totally unrelated pages of Glamour. You do not win "trendy points" by wearing more, but by wearing correctly. Anyway, this fashion hodgepodge thought she was just too cute, when in reality she looked for all the world like a "what not to wear" from the back page of a magazine, though she didn't have the benefit of the charitable face blacking out, bless her heart. And I just wanted to tell her, "Honey you don't have to wear all your chic clothes at one time, I promise we'll all still think you're trendy if you save one or two for tomorrow!"
