Happy Friday!
With the icy cold season upon us, I thought a great way to warm everyone up would be to share an article I wrote at the beginning of the summer.
I was asked to write a somewhat-bitchy article about fashion trends in the bar scene here in Ottawa. Try to envision yourself wandering around your favourite strip of bars on a hot, sticky night, shorts clinging to all your fun bits.
Enjoy!
The Fashionista Asks:
Is your summer style hot and flirty or down and dirty?
Want to know if your sizzle is fizzled, my nizzle? (FYI - Snoop Dog is out.) Clip and save this handy chart. Refer to it before beginning your next night out.
Girls: Muffin tops
I'm not going to tell you to ditch those low-rise jeans. But PLEASE, Skinny/Fat girls, check your rear-view before anyone else has to. Back fat billowing over the top of your Sevens conjures up images of the Pillsbury Dough Boy, not Pam Anderson.
Guys: Over-zealous grooming
It's true; no one likes a uni-brow. But, guys, if the arch in your brows is better than mine - BEWARE - you've definitely crossed the pretty-boy line. Use your mom's tweezers sparingly - aim for George Clooney, not Boy George.
Girls: Rambo Commando
Long shirts: in. Short skirts: in. Wearing the two together: stupid (period).
Guys: I like my bacon extra-crispy
The fake 'n bake crispy look is scary. Instead of over-frying, save your skin and keep the bacon for the breakfast in bed you'll be bringing that beautiful baby you picked up at the bar last night.
*Special Bonus for the Guys*: The Flip-up
The collar flip-up is the Fashionista's favourite flop. The Stanley Cup of the flip-up? Any collar embroidery declaring the wearer to be a PIMP, PLAYA, etc
(You know how I know you're gay? The back of your collar says you're a "PIMP")
Steer clear of these fashion flops and you'll be sure to enjoy a long hot summer. Oh, one last accessory that is so last season: the ball-and-chain you've been hauling around for far too long. 'Tis the season to be single. Nothing says fashion like a steamy summer romance.
