aine- you mean Jess Cartner-Morley’s videos, right? I don’t mind her, she’s probably ok for the posh 30something clueless people those ‘how to dress’ guidelines who are her likely target audience (particularly priceless was last week’s one on how to wear a dress with a jacket- as if that’s a new look, ha) but in my head the worst offenders are rags like Grazia, which I can enjoy on a good day, but 9 times out of 10 is tripe.
Polly Vernon used to write smug things for Vogue, too- probably still does, in fact.

Ooh i hate those prissy little rules that fashion writers are always so keen on spreading. Its always the worst in fashion monthlys and broadsheets because they assume most of their audience are too busy to keep abreast of new trends and thus require these insultingly patronising dictats. Check out the guardian on saturday, theres a how to dress series thats terribly smug, polly vernon in the observer is also a huge pain in the arse

Canadian tuxedos are only appropriate when drinking Molson in somebody’s shed, preferably listening to Rush and maybe paired with a mesh-backed trucker hat and a little flannel.

I like denim on denim and I know exactly where they got the idea that this is some exploitive trend: fashion bloggers! I have read and even thought about posting about how I love denim but now I know, reading this “how-to”, that it has reached its saturation point. When this happens I delete my post that has been saved and carry on with my life.

In 1987 I confiscated Mr Hammie’s denim bomber jacket because he wore it with matching jeans.

I believe my actions were justified. xx

We used to call this a “denim dilemma.”

Denim on denim reminds me too much of the video from “C’mon Eileen”.

But then i buy not curate, snag or acquire.. dress not shop my closet, put on clothes as opposed to “style”, and i leave the house as opposed to “pull it off”. So what the fuck do I know.

I agree with Wendy B… I dont understand this “pulling it off” you put the clothes on, and you leave the house. If you like it… score! if other people dont and are rude enough to comment. Fuck ’em. that is how i pull it off.
