I know...it is crazy to spend time watching something as mindless as Cashmere Mafia. But, I watch these shows with you, the women who follow our blog, in mind. I want to see what Hollywood thinks fabulous, stylish women (in the real world) wear. So, last night I sat down and watched the ABC pilot of Cashmere Mafia about 4 executive women in New York.
I found it interesting that the women depicted in the show didn't really adhere to latest fashions. They all have different body types and jobs in different industries and the clothes that they wore seemed to mimic their needs vs. follow the latest trends. Of course, one could argue that it is shows like this that make trends happen.
The trend that I would like to see happen most is the dressing for your style and shape. I mean, let's face it....while these characters may start new trends we will still be facing the issue of whether the trends are good for us as individuals or not. It reminds me on the Manolo Blahnik craze that happened with Sex and The City. Suddenly women all over the country were willing to pay over $600 for shoes!!
Wouldn't it be nice if we could take a page from these women and say, "I'm going to wear a jacket with a peplum because it shows off my tiny waist and accentuates the curve of my hips"? Next time you go shopping look at yourself in the dressing room mirror and ask whether the outfit you are wearing is a fashion wow or a wow for you personally. If the answer is a personal wow, then break out the card and buy it...otherwise, save yourself some closet space and return it to the rack.
