But today as I was perusing the New York Fashion Week pics, I actually found a few pieces I thought were lovely.

Anna Sui did, however, have a few things I thought were decent, including this one:

The Badgely Mischka show had some stunningly lovely evening gowns in it:

Bodice detailing seemed to be a hallmark of the Badgely Mischka collection. I think that it lends a very feminine, elegant touch to the lineup.



Next up, we have an outfit I saw in the Diesel collection. I had been wondering when pants waistbands would move back up and off the hips. The hipster look is cool and all, but I can't wear it due to the practical constraints of my particular physique. I think that Diesel might have tossed the pendulum a little too far in the opposite direction with this one, however:

Usually I like Vera Wang's artistic vision, but I actually didn't see much in this particular collection that interested me. This evening gown was nice, but I thought the addition of the Little Red Riding Hood was bizarre. I kept expecting someone to come out wearing a shaggy gray wolf costume.

Well, there you have it. If I had to do a redux of everything I saw today, I'd have to boil it down to a common thread of flapper-style short dresses without waistlines over dark turtlenecks and dark stockings. There were lots of others, but this one thing seemed to keep popping up in different shows as a theme, of sorts. Skirt hemlines that short just don't flatter me in the least, but they probably would if I lost about a zillion pounds first. An unlikely scenario at best. Meh.
