The Return of Matching Shoes & Bags S/S 12 (1/2)

One of the worst things one can say to bash a woman`s outfit these days is 'It`s too matchy matchy.' Fashion has seen a decade where mixing was a must. It started with Patricia Field`s Sex and the City looks and was continued in the colour-blocking trend, that we considered it cool and creative to 'break the rules'. As it is with trends, we love it as long as only the stylists and fashion icons do it but when it hits the streets and we see how people get it wrong, it`s over. We have totally reached this point with the mixing-imperative! It`s enough.
It is time to return to thoughtful & well-planned outfits. The point is not to become "conservative or less creative", the point is to make sense again and return to harmonic looks (if only to give our eyes a break from all the chaotic atrocities of the last decade!). Another point is to get real about ourselves; not all of us are blessed with great taste, the confidence to pull off daring combinations or the occasions to wear the "fashion-forward looks". I say: let`s return to sense (instead of taking the risk of looking like a parrot) and remember that rules do not just exist to be be broken - they also exist because they make sense.
