September Post the 1st: Fall Fashion and the Boot

[laurawise]

So, for my first trick post in this month o' requests, let's talk about fall fashions.

First, this year's September issue of Vogue -- you know, the Big One -- is sadly uninspiring. I can't entirely tell if it's the season's clothes or the editorial spreads that have bored me. Even the ads are not quite there for me

I like fabric that can move, so stiff and/or tight just don't work for me, even if it's pretty look to look at.

And it has to feel good as well. The rare occasions when I try to shop for clothes, half the time just touching the fabric is enough to make me leave it on the rack.

You're smart to think about the fabric itself! I know a lot of T-shirts now are so thin that they don't work for me...

Hurrah for clothes that move, and hurrah for you, S! :-) [hugs]

I love walking trousers, of the type that can be quickly converted to shorts. About the only item I plan to buy in the near future.

Not only are those practical, but 'utility' clothing is also a big fashion deal right now. You're bang on trend, as they say! :-)

Hugs, Stevie, and cheers!

I saw part of the september issue on the bus, but didn't buy it because of this even though I was super excited Vogue US actually gave a model of color a single girl edit, sigh.

Yes, that editorial & article was distinctly Not Good.

I was surprised there was less blowback about it, but my friend's rant was one of the only ones I saw. And it's so bleh because I love Karlie Kloss, generally, but models don't have so much control over that kind of stuff. I hope.
