InStyle Makes Fashion Blunder
(I'm feeling disappointed)
Have you ever felt like the editors of fashion magazines just throw stuff together that people sent them to feature , write a catchy blurb about why it's so great and the next best thing, then sit back and laugh when people blindly follow their suggestions?
Case in point: InStyle's special summer release magazine contains a suggested outfit that is not only hideous, it goes against everything the description says makes it cool in the first place.
Next to a picture of a model in a poofy winter jacket, a short white skirt, and patent leather white ankle booties, the description reads something like: "Remember! Don't wear poofy jackets. They just make you appear large all over. Go for something nipped in the waist." Huh? So this poofy jacket, by virtue of the piece of cord wrapped around the stomach, magically becomes "in"? Please. And if it is indeed poofy jacket weather, would you really be pairing it with a miniskirt and stiletto ankle booties?
I know I've said InStyle is like the bible of fashion, but question everything. There's a reason fashion goes in cycles. If what you're currently wearing is always in fashion, you wouldn't need to buy anything else. Right? So because skinny jeans were a la mode for the last few years, it's time wide legged jeans came back. But don't wear them if they make you look stupid! If even the tiny models on InStyle's pages look fat in something, it's probably not going to be flattering on anybody. Case closed.
