Lumberjack is in vogue, baby.

Who would have ever thought looking like a bum would become so stylish as of late?

After scouring the racks of my go to cheapie store (the beloved Forever21), I find myself simultaneously horrified and in awe. More than 21 plus variations of plaid can be found in the dressy tops section of the site alone.

This is an ongoing series of plaid gone wrong. My mission is to find the best, better, and worst versions of the classic slacker/British metrosexual man trend. I will look far and wide in order to bring you some of the worst sins in fashion (and no hipster will be spared, intentional or not).

Let’s start off with some of the good. Wait, I can only find one I like. Uh oh.

If you think fashion is all about glitz, glamour, serious models, gorgeous clothes and accessories, well you’re wrong. Sometimes it’s ugly, sick, stupid, or just plain funny-as-hell. You’ve probably seen the Sex and The City Episode where Carrie Bradshaw face-plants it on the runway of the charity fashion show, but have you seen it in real life? Well watch this video, it’s frickin’ hilarious! Ouch! This is why you don’t walk the runway directly after the Shaolin Monks. Best Fashion Show Ever

It’s a dog! It’s a bag! It’s dogbag! Seriously, LV, you had nothing better to waste your money on? So wrong it might bite you on the ass.

Contrary to the color forcast for 2009 being yellow, I think I’ve found my own “color of the year.” Seriously, I believe I’m verging on obsession with this color…thanks to Polyvore (don’t act like you weren’t expecting it). Anywho, the color I’m really feeling for next year is teal, however, I’m also in love with coral and various shades of purple. Why? Honestly, I don’t know. It could be because “blue” has been the color that I’ve gravitated towards since forever, so rolling with teal isn’t that far of a stretch.

Yeah, another post about Polyvore. I can’t help it. I’m supposed to be studying for my very last final of the semester (which is tomorrow), and my study breaks are getting longer and longer as I waste precious time creating sets. It sucks so much that I don’t have a doppleganger to either study or polyvore for me. Poo! WHY MUST THE HEAVENS BE SO CRUEL!?!

So, awhile ago, I made a few posts about the fashion disasters of Katie Perry, Lil’ Mama, Raven and Beyonce. I kinda felt upset about it for some time, because I felt like someone was out to get these ladies, and decided to make them look like FOOLS in public. And so, in an attempt to prove to myself that looking like who-did-it-and-won’t-admit-it is not the only look these chicas have to choose from, I went pic hunting. I actually left out Beyonce’s better looks, because, well, I don’t think she’s had that many WTF moments in her fashion choices lately. I did however, dig around for some proof of flyness from Katy, Mama, and Rae….

As we all know, Rihanna for the most part has had the best fashion stylist this whole year. Aside from a very few small instances where her outfits were questionable, the girl has been impeccably dressed from head to toe. Many people are saying her style is edgy, punk-ish, or funky (the good kind) and I guess you could say that, because ever since she cut her hair, she has been pushing the envelope for what is considered stylish dress for ladies within the R&B/Hip Hop  and Pop communities.

I have to say, in the begining I hated Britney with a passion. Then that feeling morphed into apathy and then during and after her “episode” I started to feel bad for her. BUT NOW! NOW? Britney has gained some admiration and respect from moi. I mean, c’mon. For most of us, if we’d gone through what she has we’d have curled up in a ball and died (and we’ll never really know what she was going through). She’s totally cleaned up her life, and with Britney seemingly on the road to all things good, I thought why not give her some props with a Style Star moment? Seriously, with her new life, show, album and all, it’s totally being reflected in her everyday appearance. Hopefully those days of panty-less Britney are long gone, and we can look forward to seeing more stylish, pulled together looks like this one she stepped out in on her December 6 shopping trip to Kitson in LA.

You know, I figure with all of the different types of styles, there are two variations of it. Regardless if you consider your fashion sense to be preppy, goth, urban, or even princess; there’s one of two catagories we ultimately fall into: Girl Hot and Guy Hot. What’s the difference? Well, it’s not as obvious as it sounds, but then again maybe it is. Here’s my idea on what separates “Girl” from “Guy” hot. And just for the record, I don’t there is anything wrong with which ever one you like personally, just as long as you own it. O_<.

Am I the only one who feels like I wasted the day and money on things I can’t account for!? I’ve been out since the butt-crack of dawn, and finally I get home to amire my spoils, yet….I have none. Granted I don’t really have to shop for that many people, but still, you’d think that with all of the shopping deals and steals out there I’d have least came home with something worthwhile right? WRONG.
