I never really liked tattoos or piercings on women, or really low rise pants (on anyone). Mid rise I think is more flattering. Not crazy about Uggs either. I'm probably in the minority here as I like the babydoll tops (if you have a bit of a tummy as I do,it covers well). I don't think they look like maternity tops unless they're REALLY big. I think I'd look worse in the midriff tops of a few years ago!

What I call a Boot-cut is a cut of jeans that are made for wearing boots. They go in at the heel to make it easier to tuck into a pair of boots.

I believe they've been named "Skinny Jeans" in that weird world of fashion. Still doesn't mean that I can't dislike the look of "Skinny jeans" and sneakers. It just looks silly to my unfashion-trendy eyes.

OMG the lack of courtesy here is dumbfounding.
That makes no sense what so ever.

Sorry that I flew that over your head. Here's an Example (http://www.cowboyboot.ca/images/history.jpg - broken link).

Matter of personal preference, though. I don't think the look of wearing "skinny jeans" ((or what I call Boot Jeans)) over boots is trendy looking at all.

Another fashion disaster in my eyes is over-glitzing. Too much "glitz" or "bling bling" is absolutely atrocious. Sequin empire waist tops come to mind.

Here's another one. Fancy hats. I've not seen a fancy hat in the woman's section that didn't look absolutely atrocious. Having a fake bouquet of flowers on your hat is not appealing.

I'm not stupid, what I am saying is that you contradicted yourself.

I understand that many of you dislike the logos, but you're showing your ignorance to the brand because they offer more than what you see people carrying. There is a reason why people knock off designer bags.
The quality is not worth the price, many high quality bags sell for much less, and yes I would prefer to have a variety of bags. They are very ugly IMO and have someone else's initials all over them which is lame and something I avoid whenever possible. Most people buy them for status, not quality.

BTW, it's clear we were writing of the logo bags. The other ones I simply couldn't care less about. Calling me ignorant of something as mindless as fashion brands does not matter in the least to me.

Default Ahhhh So Funny!!!!

I was JUST telling my husband TONIGHT how much I am annoyed by those Coach bags! Everyone has them here!! We were at the Best Buy this evening & the snooty lady in line in front of us had one and the wallet to match, then I look across the way and see a woman in another line (with rumpled white capris wedged up her lumpy butt & scroungy sandals on) who had one of those d*mn bags too! I made a comment to my husband about, "I don't get that whole Coach purse thing....I'd rather have $300 (or whatever) dollars in my purse than pay that much for one!". The lady in front of me heard me, but I don't care! They are just plain stupid! JMO! Thay have no style, are cookie-cutter, and I think women buy them as a status symbol to feel better about themselves. Again, JMO!

I love Coach bags - but I only buy them for half price at the Coach outlet. Nothing else designer really appeals to me - Coach bags are really great leather and exceptional quality - thats why I like them. Believe me - its not for the status - since so many people have a Coach bag it is not even a status symbol anymore.
