I have to say, I am so on board with Spring 2011.
Denim, Maxi, Stripes, PLATFORMS!!! oh, 1974, I’ve been waiting for you to come back in full force.
BUT!
What is the deal with the pearl-y lipstick????????
This is one trend I can not jump on.
With the upcoming release of MAC’s Jeanious collection in March, I’m fairly certain the fashion conscious (or not so…) masses will flock to all three (THREE!!!) of their light, pearlized lipsticks. Not to mention Revlon and Maybelline have entire pearl collections.
Now, don’t get me wrong, on a certain people pearly lips can look great (drag queens). I’m just having a flashback to fuchsia pearl lips, long chartreuse nails, leopard print swishy jackets, and dyed black hair that defies gravity. Trust me, you’ve seen them.
Is this yet another fashion choice brought to light by the whole fascination with overly tan, big boobed, scantily clad ladies that are from a certain state and pepper their sentences with “friggin’”?
I think it is. I love ‘em, personally. This does not mean I want to emulate them. It certainly doesn’t mean I think the rest of the country should, either. I’m terrified this newfound popularity pearly lipstick is finding is the straw that will break the very weak camel’s back and bring upon us a full-on Jerseytastic apocalypse.
