"It's the circle of life! And it rules us all! Ahzen-wanya, bugga-beets a-bo-bor..."
My apologies to any Swahili speakers out there, but I don't own a copy of The Lion King with subtitles.
Onwards!
Barney's sent me an email with the headline "Dudes: new kicks from LANVIN" so, Lanvin being one of my faves, I of course tapped that (with my touch screen sillies).
What followed was the recurrence of an awkward memory (not painful, since no one else likely remembers). The trigger? These:
When i was 14, as a costume for my sister's birthday party, I decided to dress in skater-grunge: flannel shirt, jeans, spray-painted hair and a glorious pair of maroon shimmery patent Sketchers almost exactly like the Lanvins above. So this is where Simba and his pals come in: it's interesting to see how some relatively small some fashion cycles are; this one began in the early nineties, continued into my Dorkier Age, and has resurfaced again! I must say I don't always mind when history repeats itself but I will be admiring this style from afar.
Also this is my first blog attempt from my new iPad; forgive, ignore, and/or keep to yourself any grammar errors. This took me forever.

In which I borrow from the boys
One of the great things about fashion is its fluidity: women borrow (or sometimes steal) from men, and men do the same (although they're less likely to admit it, stubborn things). One more theft (um, I mean loan) from the boys: the bowtie. It's a slow-growing fad...a few of my coworkers gave me the odd look or two!

The infinite possibilities of plaid
While on a short work errand (shh...keep that under your hat), I passed by this plaided pair and asked to snap a pic to commemorate the explosion of plaid, check, and gingham here in the District and undoubtedly beyond. They're literally everywhere, and I adore it because it's limitless in color and pattern: it can be classic or crazy--like the unexpected strips of pink on the left!
The District...has gone...to plaid!
