What Do You Think About Reversible Skirts?

Yellow tights anybody?


I have seen a bunch of fashion bloggers in yellow or mustard tights lately. I couldn't find any better example pictures,but just think of these tights with a denim skirt or dress. I tend to be pretty open to fashion trends, but I'm not warming up to the idea at all. It looks out of place for me more like the jaundice effect. What's your opinion? I'm very curious what others think about it. Would you give yellow tights a try?

Clogs: Are they that bad?

I remember the Will&Grace episode where Will saw Grace wearing clogs. She said "They are good for your back." to explain and Will responded "They are good for the back of your closet!"

 

Are clogs really that bad? I like clogs with casual skirts and shorts. They might also be a lot of fun if done right. I especially like the comfort of Swedish cape clogs. They come in a variety of designs, colors and even different colors of wood.

What do you think? Are they no or go?

Cell phone accessories: Is it passe?

I used to like the personalized look of cell phone accessories couple of years ago and got a cute charm on my Blackberry phone. Most of my purses don't have a cell phone section so it also helped me find my phone easier in my purse and distinguish it from similar phones in case friends have similar phones. First I lost the charm and had to ditch the idea completely when I switched to the iPhone. Maybe the sleeves for phones are more the norm these days and I can't say I like the plastic around my phone. Now I have a new regular phone and got a cute charm again. Only to discover that I don't find it so original and cute anymore. What do you think? Is this a passe look? How else do you make sure you get to your phone easily when it rings? Please explain it in comments.

Personalized Macbook stickers - Love it or Leave it?

I've been seeing more and more of the personalized Macbook laptop. My guess is one either falls in love with it or doesn't like it at all. While I like some of the designs, I like my Macbook NOT decorated. I like the sleek simple design and understated color. It also looks more professional this way. What do you think?
