Highs and Lows – Weekend in Review

Highs:

• Brunette at DMB Concert; early 20s; slender
  • well-fitting mig-wash jeans
  • white short-sleeved tee
  • brown patchwork crochet tank – not too hippyish
  • flip flops
  • Why it works: super cute; occassion-appropriate; slightly hippy, but not stink-super-hippy
• Mom shopping with fam at Forever 21; late 30s; gorgeous black woman with super-short/buzzed hair
  • lemon/lime green button-down; tucked in
  • charcoal gray pencil skirt
  • super high heeled black peeptoed slingbacks
  • designer bag (Dooney & Burke)
  • Why it works: super glam, but not unapproachable; heels on a Sunday, while out with 3 kids and hubby – insane hot! v. figure flattering

Lows:

• Overly dressed-up girls at DMB
  • Seen: huge earrings, clubby tube tops, tight jeans, heels, cutesy sandals and wedges, “done” hair, loads of makeup (esp. eyeliner)
  • Why it doesn’t work: extremely occassion-inappropriate; not weather-compliant
• Stanky hippies
  • Rant: OK – SO – if you’re trying your best to be “individual,” why would you choose to dress like every one of your friends?  The same goes for “goths” these days!  Initially, it was super unique, but by now, it’s just conceeding to the norms of a group, instead of truly being different…

 All in all, DMB was amazing people-watching!  Especially because the amphitheater was crazy muddy and we had prime biff-watching seats…LOVE IT!
