A Country Boy?s View on Fashion
I still can't understand it. After all these years, I can't make a lick of sense out of what folks consider to be in or out of fashion ? appropriate or inappropriate attire or appearance. What was "in" last year, might be "out" this year ? or it might be in but you need to change what you wear with it. What was OK for spring and summer probably won't work well for fall and winter - weather considerations aside. And what is in was likely already in somewhere around 20 or so years ago but then it went out so something else could be in.
And why don't they just come right out and say FAKE fur instead of trying to dress it up with a fancy foreign word? Thank God for jeans?I gotta find the Fashion Holy Book. I know there has to be one out there somewhere that says that it's a sin to wear the same thing as you wore last year. Or maybe it's just sometimes that it's a sin. I dunno. All I know is that the ladies section has to be really big.
Like maybe everything but the last seven pages. Guys don't seem to matter quite as much. It's sort of like an afterthought thing just so we wouldn't be offended. They ? whoever "they" is ? could have left us out completely for all I care.Thank God for jeans?I can't understand it. Why sometimes looking "layered" is good and sometimes it isn't.
Why sometimes croc (apparently "they" couldn't spell the entire word) is good and sometimes it isn't. Why big old-looking broaches are sometimes good and sometimes they aren't. And why anyone would ever frown on micro-mini's is beyond me. OK, so I'm I guy. I'll let that one go.Thank God for jeans?And how can pleats be in or out? What about tweed? Is it good or not? Why do ladies handbags need to match their shoes? Can summer shoes be the same as winter shoes? Probably not, huh? And what's wrong with tie dye for cryin' out loud? Looks cool to me.
And what's the deal with buying jeans ? brand new, mind you - that look like they've already been worn for two years? I never have been able to figure out that one.But yeah, thank God for jeans?I can't understand it. Are guys dress jackets now supposed to have two, three or four buttons? Are pleated dress pants in or out? What about casual slacks? Cuffs ? yes or no? Tuck or don't tuck? Why can't neckties be any width we dang well want? And why do we even wear the silly things in the first place? Why is it important for all the men to look like penguins when they dress for formal occasions? A zebra look makes just as much sense to me.Thank God for jeans?And have you looked at underwear lately? (Do I need to rephrase that?) Now I understand that the ladies like to do all sorts of push up, push out, accent, emphasize, enhancement stuff. But guys ? we're getting out of control! Holy smokes. I thought the intent of our under-layer was to keep our goodies in place and prevent excessive scuffing against whatever outer-layer we happened to be wearing. I've even seen articles describing what kinds of underwear the celebrities are wearing.
Why would we care? I'm just not understanding any of this.Thank God for jeans ? and good old briefs? I guess I never will comprehend any of this fashion "in style" stuff. Seems to me that if we're clean and comfortable ? including warm, cool or dry depending on the weather ? we're good to go. I just can't see that anything else matters much. Of course, I'm just an old country boy. What do I know?.

Houston TX, November 9, 2005-- Denim has come a long way from the gold mines of California. Mega stars Britney Spears and Tara Reid can regularly be seen sporting the hole denim look. Ripped pant legs and starched denim jeans have comeback with a passion in recent years. Denim has been around for a long time, and now that the stars have rediscovered it, it doesnt seem like its going away anytime soon, Said George Johnson of yourdenim.com.
Some designers have really capitalized on the ripped jeans fashion trend.
Top fashion stores in New York have been rumored to be selling pre-ripped jeans for more than $150 a pair.
$150? For a pair of used jeans?
Dont tell your college economics professor.
Thats how...

Fall/Winter Fashion for Teens - 2004-2005
Anything burgandy, which I love seems to be one of the fall colours. Also love dark brown. There is lots of brown in many shades, but still reds, blacks, greys, greens. Much better color selection this fall than last year when where there was almost only black, red and olive greens.The fashion mood is mix-and-match with girly looks such as ruffles, embroidery, fringe, sparkles, creative colors, playful patterns. This is a departure from the hard-core sex appeal from seasons past.Satin is not just for evenings anymore...bring it into the light during the day by pairing a satin camisole with a fitted jacket or wear a satin skirt with a knitted cardigan.
This fabric also looks great with denim. Bottom line, the best way to wear it is to highlight just one piece: a little satin goes a long way.Best example - pink satin cami under a blazer.Ponchos, capes and wraps continue to make news. There are lots of quirky tweeds, funky mohair and slinky jeans, shrunken tweed blazers worn with...

Rebecca Minkoff's Los Angeles Fall Collection Debuts on MTV's Laguna Beach
With Tight black jeans, kitten heels and a concert babe top, designer Rebecca Minkoff looks like one of those actresses who wears her clothes. Despite being the quintessential New Yorker, she knows a thing or two about Hollywood Fashion, having styled a bevy of starlets including Jenna Elfman and Marisa Tomei. With her LA Debut attended by the likes of Danny Masterson and Tommy Lee to Jenna Elfman and Good Charlotte, Rebecca's following on both coasts reads like a Who's Who of Hollywood. MTV just covered the show, as can be seen on their new hit reality TV show, Laguna Beach. Rebecca brought a slice of her New York to LA with a show that had hints of the industrial lofts and raw energy of New York.
The music was all rock with DJ Zo? Bonham spinning to give life to a show that only a daughter of rock could do. Rebecca also recently showed her most impressive collection in NY for the first time with her Spring 2005 Collection with inspiration likened to an enchanted forest. What's...
