Stella McCartney is sold out!

And wait
there’s more Gucci. And they’re on sale, to boot.



These showed up in an ad as I was perusing the web

Thinking of the possibilities. Braiding, scrunchies, buns.

483

LOL, because I need shoes with a tail!

484

They are actually a lot cuter than the description led me to expect! But no.

485

A perfect dress for a wedding guest
 to do the chicken dance! :smiley:

Especially if she’s willing to trade a large basket of golden eggs to buy that yellow outfit!!!

487

OMG, it’s over $19,000.

488

It’s Big Bird!

@VaBluebird , the designer, and I use that term loosely is Kanye West (aka Mr. Kim Kardashian.)

Or you could swap clothing with someone who would appreciate clothing that isn’t distressed that you have in our closet with clothes that that have authentic distress.

Not exactly ugly, but WTH??!! Expen$$$ive!!! :))

If I had a sweater that had had an unfortunate encounter with a caustic substance, I might wear it around the house. But I can’t imagine paying $2500 for a new one. (Actually, I can’t imagine paying $2500 for a sweater under any circumstances.)

Can someone explain the appeal of distressed jeans, i.e., ripped jeans? I guess I am turning into an old fart, because I just don’t get it. I think they look awful.

495

Bromfield, you are not alone. I am an old fart, too. While some fading might look good on denim, most of the fake ripped jeans and tees look disgusting.

496

@BunsenBurner – you could have real distress if you accidentally lost that pricey “paper clip.” My dad used to have a money clip and lost it with some regularity.

497

I’ve been re-watching Absolutely Fabulous lately, and it occurs to me that Edina Monsoon would be right at home in a lot of these looks :smiley: What’s even funnier is that I knew people like her, and they DID dress like that!

The cats of the last year’s runways are trickling down to luxury resellers

With tags! Whoever bought it did not have the courage to wear it in public, I guess? :slight_smile:

You can finance your purchase, too – payments as low as $176 a month!

I hate animal prints. I always have.
