Fashion 101

Dear readers, did you spend half an hour rifling through your closet this morning only to give up in disgust and pull your pair of stretchy  pants from the hamper, pairing them with the blouse that only has one tiny stain that is located somewhere under the the shadow of your enormous bosom so nobody can see it anyway?

Well I have only two words to say about your fashion sense.

Tsk, tsk.

You have come to the right place because today Larainy Days is offering a completely free Fashion Tutorial that will help you know

• What is up and what is down this season
• What to wear with what for what
• What to say when someone asks "What are you wearing?"

First of all, you must check out this fabulous fashion blog The Sartorialist.  (Don't worry what a sartorialist is because you could only fathom the meaning with your thinking cap on and you already took it off to read Larainy Days.) The Sartorialist features candid photos of chic people from fashionable spots like Milan Italy, Paris France and Hygiene, Colorado.  

This fashionbloganisto is so popular he even gets invited to exclusive runway events where emaciated designers hang their new collections on models who look pregnant if they swallow a grape.

Look and learn dear reader 

Look and learn 

WHAT:  Edgar Allen Poe is a HUGE influence this year.  Clothe yourself in raven from neck to toe and shame on you if you sneeze because allergies are so 90's.

WHERE:  Suitable for a funeral if it is not outdoors during condor mating season.

WHAT:  Steal the top off a mother of the bride ensemble, pair it with hot pants, grease your legs and slide them into a pair of sassy open toe boots and you are up to date girl.

WHERE:  No one will care whether your little darling is the worst goalie in history when you stride up and down the soccer sidelines in this little number.  You will even be forgiven for forgetting treats.

WHAT:  Who cares if the puppy chewed up the laundry again?  Throw it over your shoulder, grab your umbrella and let it rain, let it rain, let it rain

WHEN:  This outfit is so fabulous it cannot be ruined by your school crossing guard vest and kids will follow fluttering fringe anywhere, so be a vibrant volunteer.

WHAT:  Someone rode their motorcyle plumb through a tornado and their loss is your gain.  Lacerated leather laced with zippers scream style this year.

WHEN:  Everyone needs an outfit that will take them to the front of the line at the Department of Motor Vehicles.  This ensemble says "Give me what I want right now or I will call my brother Edward Scissorhands and he will sculpt your face."

WHAT:  Remember, only inney bellybuttons are inney this year.  Outey bellybuttons are outey.  Outeys have two options 1) surgery or 2) super glue.

WHEN:  When you are ready for a roadtrip, tie jumper cables around your waist in a carefree knot and take to the highway knowing that you are prepared.

WHAT:  Pajamas go right from the bed to the boardroom this year saving oodles of time getting ready in the morning.  If you forget your bra, don't forget your binoculars

WHEN:  Wear this while walking in a back and forth pattern across your hardwood floors and they will be dustfree in a jiffy.

WHAT:  Who cares if animal skin patterns are out of style in bathmats this year.  Repurpose by tying about the waist with a fabulous skinny belt and you are good to go.

WHEN:  When your cat is feeling down, she will find comfort in your furry lap.
