Slinky V in Berardi Helless Boots

It was back in 2008 that Victoria Beckham defied gravity by wearing Heel-less boots created by notable fashion designer Antonio Berardi. Victoria got tired of teetering and tottering in sky high heels so she wanted to teeter totter in heelless one’s (hahahahaha!)

Recently, at the Nina Ricci show during Paris fashion week,models were subjected to wearing shoes of similar concept except these had heels.. they just didn’t touch the floor. So why the heck do they have them there for? My guess is as good as yours. How the models managed to end the show with out any of them toppling over, I do not know… What I do know is these shoes are ridiculous.

Talk about being a fashion victim. Even thought I was too young when this trend first became a hit I was already aware of it’s atrocity. So I was pretty surprised to find out that this horrid fashion faux pas was allowed to be released from the unforgiving confines of the fashion jail to play it lurid game. Remember.. there are no victims if no one allows themselves to be victimized.

Fashion jail? I admit that was taking it a bit overboard, but shouldn’t we have evolved? Evolution in theory is adaptation and change that is usually for the better so why is it then that the upward incline of sense and taste in fashion have been stained with this regression.

As seen on William Rast Fall/Winter 09/10 Collection. No matter how fancy you make it seem, I’m still not down with it.

Harem pants.. I’m still not convinced. They say it’s another major trend this spring, but honestly hammer pants harem pants scare me. Talk about being  a fashion victim if I even think about trying this trend.

You’d have to be careful with this look, the pants tend to make you look shorter and wider. So I’m going to state something that other people have failed to acknowledged, harem pants for plus sized women aren’t recommended. I’ve been doing a bit of research and it looks like thinis a requirement to pull off this look . But I can imagine it working for a plus sized gal if the proper material were used. Minimal sagging at the crotch is preferred, something similar to the ones shown above.

When sporting harem pants make sure to wear cropped tops and jackets so that it becomes obvious that you’re wearing harems and that your pants are purposely sagging at the crotch. The sagging and tapered design will definitely take off several inches from your height so do wear heels. If you’re below the average height make sure your heels are extra high.

As for accessorizing, keep it to a minimum. One chunky piece of jewelry is enough. There’s not much left here, I just want to say that I wouldn’t like the look even if it suited me. But for the adventurous few.. good luck!
