So I realize that cut-outs are a major trend this season. And I actually like the look on certain
dresses. Cut-outs, when placed
correctly, can make an outfit look super flattering and unique.
However, when used inappropriately, cut-outs can make a dress look
like a total disaster. This dress from Lulu's (which I usually love) is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Without the ridiculous amount of cut-outs,
the dress would be fabulous. Even with a
couple, classily placed cut-outs, it'd be great for a night out.
But when you go over-the-top with it, you end up looking like an
idiot. As my boyfriend said, "
That's a dress?! It just looks like ugly lingerie". It's not the type of thing that should be worn
in public.
This is a perfect example of why I'm not usually a fan of passing
trends. With each and every trend that
goes by, there are always going to be crazy people, and designers, who take way
it too far. And there will always be the
trend-whores (there's simply no nicer way to say it), who will wear anything
that even remotely resembles a trend. Especially
if it's overdone.
The bottom line? When trying out trends, it's fine to be a little unique
and push it a little. But take a look in
a god damn mirror!! Before you go buying
dresses that look like they've been torn apart, think about whether or not you
look stupid. Or I'll send a hit man after
you.
That is all.
