I know "matchy-matchy" is a slur, but if there's no point of connection, is it an outfit? I don't see a similar color note or pattern point. The size of the plaid is radically different from the size of the print. <br /><br /><br />Having said that, I don't agree with the comment above that "haters gonna hate." That accurate for people who hate for the sake of it, but we can safely have different opinions about fashion as long as they are expressed with courtesy and factual support.<br /><br /><br />Hate looks like this: "Your outfit should be thrown in a garbage can, doused with diesel and lit on fire." (I giggled to myself when I realized that even in a mock "hate," I made sure it was safely in a garbage can.)<br /><br /><br />One of the things you provide, along with your exquisite sewing, your fabulous fashion sense, and your inimitable writing, your great photography, is a place that welcomes our diverse opinions. Thank you for all of that.

But in some photos (like the first one in todays post) you appear wide with very short legs. And your normal slim self in the shirt & jeans photo. I think it's proportions or camera angle. Or both? In today's umbrella photo, you don't appear heavy, but your legs still seem shorter than they do in the jeans. I love the addition of the pashima to the look. No matter - the outfit would be a major improvement from the tatty sweat pants and pajamma bottoms as outer wear.<br /><br />As far as those runway photos and the models looking unhappy, I thought if models look happy on the runway, even if they loved what they were wearing, they'd be banned for life from runway and magazine modeling.JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-47492815720992828372014-02-24T04:30:04.039-05:002014-02-24T04:30:04.039-05:00I really like your Thai fisherman pants :) maybe n...I really like your Thai fisherman pants :) maybe not with the shirt, but they are really cute and do feel like an intentional joke, which makes a huge difference.

Anything else is a STEP UP. Plus, look at all those idiot "runway" outfits you posted. How can a mere tucked shirt and fisherman's pants compete with that absurd rubbish as "unwearable"? There really ARE "no rules" anymore, when showing your bum crack qualifies as a 'fashion trend". So wear the damn shirt with the damn pants if you feel like it.
