Never Say Never

there was a time when pointed shoes appeared to me like an accessory perfectly designed to accommodate a contemporary witch costume. the tapered jeans, that some marketing group so cleverly disguised in recent years as the "skinny" jean, brought back images of 80s and 90s unfortunate fashion faux pas. i have worn both. as an adult. now a days you can wear black with the right brown, patterns over patterns, vests, flats, anything nautical, keds, even floral is making its way back.

i realize that fashion is all about perception.

however, i was slightly caught off guard yet again today by what i anticipate in my inbox every week. i received a regular update from the oh so beautiful, makes me want to be rich and/or not care about spending money, anthropologie. to my amazement and shock this is what i saw...

anyone else immediately think slightly conservative hammer pants?

or perhaps this is what came to mind?

i couldn't find the best picture for aladdin, but you get the idea.

for those of you fashionistas who usually wear the styles before everyone else does, i had to send a word of caution. white pants are risky in general. white aladdin pants are a whole other story.

if i happen to eat my words and wear something like this in the next few months i will be sure to post it. in the mean time, never means nothing if it comes out of my mouth.
