Failing Fashion

If vegetarians eat vegetables, then what do humanitarians eat?

But thats not the point, because I have desided to document my pitiful knowledge base of the fashion-filled world.

A little while ago I happened upon the newspaper (as is typical; almost a daily occurance actually) and I was struck by this article. As a person who wears both clothes AND shoes I was immediately intriegued.

(I am not sure yet how to actually get the pictures to pop up bigger, so I'll do your eyes a favour and translate the important bit)

The first little bit is about trouser waistbands and shoe wedges, but then it gets interesting-AND critical:
"ect.ect...So which shoe do you pair with which pants? The right choice keeps lep and shoe in proportion and can make you look slim and trim. Make the wrong choice and you'll look like a box. So, test your fashion savvy with our quiz."

I'm not lying, not even about the box part. Anywho, the test was out of 5 and I only scored a measly 2/5, but I honestly dare you to do better, it was hard; ...chunky heel or slingback with the kapris? AHH!

My hope was restored though in the fact that the two I DID get right were the only ones that matched with the pants I owned. I own pants and shorts, and I dislike kapris and legging-tight-pants with a passion so *pah*.

I also evaluated my shoe wardrobe and this is what I found. From errrm, top? to bottom?; fancy sandles, skaters or as the "cool*gag*" kids say-sk8ers!!! (w00t, thay r soo kewl, lol!), sneakers, runner, and sport sandles. This IS my shoe wardrobe, I don't own slingbacks and wedges anyway!

Oh, BUT I did get my grad shoes already. And they're pretty! Storytime: So mum and I were going shopping for Rachel's Birthday present (HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY RACHEL-another sister for those of you not in the know, my youngest little baby sister!) and as we were walking past a shoe store she said we should just look in for a moment and then we found these nice shoe and bought them. THE END

She had been so worried that with my feet specificity we would spend days looking for shoes, but huzzah-some of the best finds are unexpected.

The only downside though-they do have a medium-type heel and now I am faced with the dilema of finding a grad date of whom I wont completely dwarf!

In further unrelated news, I took the dog to the green space today and if you couldn't guess, caught my first sunburn of the season. Anja experianced a similar fate yesterday while we were at Oak Hammock Marsh, even her freckles got sunburnt!
