Fashion tips from CityNews

I’m quite tall so I find ballet flats a nice alternative so I like them – but I do agree with you on the animal prints!

I wish people would stop saying animal prints are back in. They’re never back in. They always look cheap and tacky.

And ballet flats are so passe. They make your foot look longer than it really is, and no woman wants her feet to look bigger (in width OR length).

However, I do like pinnies or sweater dresses with tights. If only because it’s the only normal fashion a pregnant heifer like me can fit into.

LOL I read that and thought the exact same thing! A shame I don’t have last year’s issue, or I’d have checked.

I love the fashions this season! Especially the leggings. I can pull out all my old dresses that I wouldn’t want to wear anymore, and wear them like pinafores – it’s great!

Of course the fashion is like last year. People aren’t going to buy a whole new wardrobe every season. And of course it is what your mother wore – fashion is always repeating itself, usually with a bit of a twist. I love the 60s fashions this season, especially the cropped jackets and bright prints.

Oh and Ankle Boots! I actually like the winter fashion this year. I love the grey and dark colours. The shapes of the dresses and smocks that are around are a little short but i’m pretty sure they are designed to be worn over tights or leggings. I really don’t like the animal prints though… gross. The oversized tote bags have been around for a while, had mine for over a year now but the leggings and tights are newish. So overall – I like the winter fashion this year – even if it is the same as previous years!

They got it wrong, the correct fashion for all (hot) females is micro-mini skirts, tiny bikini tops and big heels.

Perhaps hairshirts are this year’s fashion.

I thought layering was to do with hair.

ooh, also, sweater dresses are *new* this year, though I think my mother said she wore them at my age. They’re mostly alright looking except for all the shops have them too short so they’re a touch indecent for work. To my thinking anyway.

This year’s “looks” ARE remarkably similar to last years, except with the awful smock and pinafore dresses thrown in: layers (but who doesn’t layer in winter in Canberra anyway), dresses with tights, flats, belts whose position seems to go up and down with each issue of Cleosmo, trenches (though to be different, this year double breasted is the way to go I think) and skinny scarfs.

It’s almost like the stylists and so forth couldn’t be bothered thinking up anything new, or didn’t like the last round of fashion shows, so just kept all the same but with new stuff. Makes it good for people on a budget though.

Pfft, thats seemed like the..’key look’ for practically all year..
