Distressed striped jeans by Sass & Bide, $255.00 at shopbop. Submitted by Sarah.  Remember that Mentos commercial from the 90s where the business man sits on the freshly painted bench, pops Mento, and then rolls on the bench to evenly paint pinstripes over his suit.  Remember thinking, “there is no way those stripes would look so even and clean.”  This is what that suit would actually look like… if it was actually a pair of low rise skinny jeans.

Sequined shorts by Ashish, $671.42 at Browns fashion. Nothing classes up a pair of elastic waistband, Hawaiian print shorts like sequins.  Well, maybe chiffon.

Soup jazz shoes by Jeffrey Campbell, $102.99 at ModCloth Submitted by Erica.  Normally I like the stagger posts by the same designer or boutique, but as there is only one left of this shoe, I decided to jump on it.  First of all, Warhol references are really hip and current.  I love Warhol too, but its time to  move on.  How about we start sticking something else on cloths to appear artsy and cultured.  Secondly, notice how they are avoiding using the Campbell’s soup logo by changing it to “Delicious” soup.  You aren’t fooling anyone.  Well, if the shoe is almost sold out, I guess you are.

Split shoulder dress by M Missoni, $595.00 at Shopbop. Submission by Sarah.  Sarah said, “just seems like the designer had a bunch of left over scraps of fabric and decided to throw them all together in a dress. We are in a recession after all.”  I have noticed this trend lately.  It’s a “throw it against the wall and see what sticks” philosophy to design.  A little bit of Balenciaga’s wrapped prints, a dash of Preen’s cutouts, and a hint of color blocking equals one messy dress.
