Skinny Mini

October was a pretty crazy month, and to get me through the hours of plans and airports and sleepless hotel nights, I've been reading Molly Ringwald's Getting the Pretty Back. Here's a pretty sweet line:
"A good rule of thumb is that skinny jeans should be left to skinny
people."

I made it to NYC and LA over the course of the last few weeks on seperate, but equally whirlwind-y trips. Don't get me wrong, I dig fashion. In fact, I'd say I have a pretty good sense of style. But I've never gotten into skinny jeans or their bastard cotton cousin, leggings. And don't even get me started on jeggings.

But this is what I learned while observing all kinds of confusing proportions on both coasts: lay off the skinny jeans.

For serious.

So people do look good, but most people don't. And odds are pretty good that, unless you have a problem with both cocaine and bulimia, you're not one of the people who should rock 'em.
