Ok so I know I'm jumpin' around a bit here but I have an unnervingly clogged highway of inspiration just dying to be expressed. I can't control what makes it to my keyboard first... so just bare with me. Besides, this is my site, I make the rules! Onward to Spring '08! (whether you like it or not (this meeting has now been adjourned (!!))) Think Sixteen Candles discovers the Crayola Box for the first time (and only the frightening shades that you used when you were six) Now I'm not trying to be pessimistic, I'm more or less being as descriptively accurate as possible. What else am I supposed to determine when nauseating amounts of tulle and satin bows sashay down the catwalks. Revenge of the Easter Eggs!!! Accompanied by a sudden urge to go indulge in a generously frosted cupcake?! (no wonder they call it Pepto Pink) I digress; Betsey Johnson did a fabulous job of tickling this fly under the arm (i.e. dirty and delicate job done right) This is a tough trend and has to be done the right way or it could easily end up in a disastrous heap of bad memories from the eighties as Cyndi Lauper's She Bop resounds in the background. The key to this look is feminine intrigue (and plenty of space so you don't suffocate any small children or animals with your mass quantities of ruffled netting) You want people to have an initial uneasy response to pique their interest. Kind of like an itch you just can't scratch. You can't seem to ignore it until you slake the irritation. But once you learn to appreciate it's potential, you wont be able to get enough. Not a snowball's chance in hell you say... try to work with me (remember? OPEN MIND!) Once again this is Spring '08 were talking about here and I anticipate this trend to carry out for the next couple years (yes, a plague of Chickenpox kind of itch) So I would advise investing in a pair of sheer ruffled socks (to go with your peep-toed pumps) along with a cocktail dress adorned puffed sleeves and/or layers of gossamer synthetics.
