Midrise boot spat by Dekkori, $126.00 at Pink Mascara. Anytime a certain look or item blows up, you are going to get a wave of crappy look-a-likes trying to get on the wagon.  Posso the Spat gets positive editorial and celebrity coverage and suddenly everyone wants to do spats.  Now, I am not even a fan of what Posso the Spat is doing, but it sure is better than this.  This looks like a white leather leg warmer/ace bandage.  The stripper heels they styled it with doesn’t help either.  Not a good look.

Miniskirt by Sass and Bide, $190.00 at Shopbop. This skirt is called “Sunday’s Clown”, taking its title from the Velvet Underground song “All Tomorrow’s Parties”.  The song, which was inspired by the lifestyle of those in Andy Warhol’s Factory, describes a poor girl dressing up for the constant parties, only to return to her life of poverty when the night is over.  After dressing up in other people’s glamorous dresses, she once again becomes “Sunday’s clown,” in her rags.  This skirt costs nearly 200 dollars.  While it is raggedy, it is quite far from the image the song presents of the girl.  Maybe they did it on purpose as an elaborate prank on the consumer, calling them posers.  Perhaps they didn’t actually look at the meaning of the lyrics and thought it sounded cool.  Any reason, it is still a 200 dollar shredded skirt named for a song about a poor girl.

Mickey and Minnie jersey print bustier top by D&G, $461.10 at Luisaviaroma D&G s/s 10 is so epically terrible, it is a guarantee that many more looks from the collection will appear on this blog.  I thought this was a good starting point.  This looks like something that Britney Spears would wear circa 2000. Hell, who am I kidding, Britney is probably ordering it right now.
