Fall 2012 Fashion: the good!

I love everything in this collection but the prices.

Toronto twins have some cute retro preppy chic outfits (did I just type cute retro preppy chic?)

I especially like the greenish pants on the 2nd model and the sweater on the 4th model.  

I have a pair of cropped navy pants from J.Crew that I never thought I'd like.  The sales lady convinced me to "just try them on" last spring and I'm glad I did although there is no way I can wear them with flats without looking like an old marm.  

Fall 2012 fashion: the bad

What is happening on the runways?

A leather dickie with matching gloves, an over sized fur hat, and a one shoulder dress layered over a long sleeved shirt.  Awful.

Enormous saddlebag pockets, an over sized raincoat with fur trim and a big poofy two piece. No.

I wore something like that black dress in highschool, I saw someone wear that orange fur jacket at a rave once, and that frou frou turtleneck dress used to be a curtain. Gross.

In other fashion news, did you watch the Oscars?  Jennifer's Lopez' dress looked like part of an outfit I used to have for my brunette Barbie (her name was Whitney).  There weren't any outfits that were super amazing, were there?  There can't have been because I don't remember them.
