The Magic of Marc

Marc Jacobs. The designer's modern, young garments seem to epitomize what the stylish, youthful, fun woman should be wearing. That's what I love about Marc by Marc Jacobs. Everything is fun, everything is modern, everything is youthful, everything is chic. Although a tad out of my price range, a Marc by Marc Jacobs fall coat seems like the ideal item to save up for. They're perfectly perfect, and would look fantastic accompanied with a signature Burberry scarf (which is also a little out of my price range...).

A Fashion Victim Uncovered

Today's post is a little different than usual. I usually talk about what people should wear versus what they should not wear. But sadly, a common fashion faux pas has come to my attention, and I would like to address it. So, as you all should know, I had been vigorously discussing homecoming for a couple posts. Well, my homecoming was last weekend, and I wore the BCBG dress I described before. There were tons of adorable dresses there, a few tacky ones, and a bunch of, well, for lack of a better word... slutty ones. For all you high school girls reading this, I beg of you, please do not wear slutty or borderline risque dresses to a school dance. NOTHING is more of a fashion faux pas than a dress that leaves nothing to the imagination. There are ways to be gorgeous and "sexy" without taking it too far. And if you see a nice, cute, black shirt dressed with nice pants or jeans, PLEASE do not make that shirt into a dress. A shirt is a shirt. It should be peacefully left that way.

This, my friends, would be considered
a big no-no. If this wasn't bad enough,
the dress was also completely backless.
In the store, this dress was paired with
jeans. She should have kept it this way,
because she has fallen into the category
of fashion victim.
