And, SQUEAL for Aiden coming back!!!!

Hot Mess or Fashion Success?

So, this past weekend L visited Forever 21. Now, it has been over a year since she has stepped foot in this fine clothier. Partly because it's a clusterfuck, partly because she needs her partner to help her stay calm.

(Last time with Shawnie, said partner in need, Summer 2008, in the Dirtiest State in the Union -- XO MISS YOU!)

Now, a little preface: Before the girls' summer shopping extravaganza, she had purchased a cute black and white pencil skirt (trés work appropriate...and from "back in the day" when the only F21 near her was in Provi!)...only to have it rip up the back slit. She had it reinforced, but it ripped again.

Now, we don't know if it's the Forever 21 craftsmanship (or lack thereof) or if it's L's ever-expanding assets that caused the double rip around the glutes. But, in her defense, she also had a cute leopard print sweater that lost most of it's coloring and became pilly after one wash...so she was a little skeptical.

And, onto the story: But, dear Readers, this time she was with Momma, and Momma has quite the eye!! And so, L had quite the case of the grabby hands this weekend!

She scored a number of cute sweaters (adorned with pearls and bows and beads) for work (that she's hoping and praying they won't get destroyed after one wash) and this:

My Little Black Dress Tank, $14.80

(Oh, it's going to be super cute with a blank tank underneath and black leggings! ::squeals with delight at childish find::)

LOOK AT THAT TUTU!!

(Hey now, let her have this! She stayed out of Abercrombie...even if it took all her willpower!)

But, lets stop for a minute and look at this skirt and ask ourselves a collective,

"What the F--k?"

Belted Glove Skirt, $32.00

It's like the skirt's little grabby hands are trying to grope you! "Ahh, no! My unmentionables!!!"

You stay away, you Michael Jackson belt! (Too soon??)

And, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't boys suppose to try to get up/in your skirt??

heh heh heh

Hot Mess or Fashion Success?

Well, it definitely looks like Leggings are in to stay for another season. (To which L is very grateful for!)

But, there's a new trend that hasn't quite made it mainstream in the Boston area, but L honestly can't wait to slide herself into them: Jeggings, or Denim Leggings.

They're just simply that: a beautiful hybrid between Leggings and skinny jeans.

Of course, like Leggings, they could go horribly wrong, highlighting all your bumps and lumps. Or, worse-- the camel toe!¹ See below, where there's bumps, lumps, VPL, and a horrible little butt pocket!

But, they could have the potential to be chic if done correctly with a smartly paired tunic top. (Note: Avoid wearing anything tucked in (like above!); tunic tops are a universal "yes." Petite girls should aim for a shorter tunic top. And, yes, they can always be belted!)

L only hopes she can be as fierce as Beyoncé if she gets her hands on a pair!

Jeggings can be found made from higher end names, like JBrand and Citizens of Humanity (check your local Nordstrom), and from more affordable retailers like New York & Company.

So, what do you think of Jeggings??

Will you strut your stuff in them?

Are you doing your lunges and eating salad as you read in anticipation??

1. Quoting Kourtney Kardashian: "If you don't have a camel toe, your vagina's ugly!" hah! Love those girls!

Hot Mess or Fashion Success?

Tight bottoms, loose flowing top, flat comfortable shoes for walking, oversized bag for your essentials: "Fashion Success!"

This girl did everything right!

She mixed dark bottoms with a clean, white linen top, and the bright red bag adds a necessary POP! of color.

Her proportions were done correctly, with tight bottoms that were matched with a loose fitting top.

Her flat shoes allow her to walk through the city without hobbling on the sidewalk.

B & L award snaps! for a job well done!
