Don't Majorly Invest in Sharp Shoulders

The shoulder shown on the Fall 2009 runways was pretty ginormous, a style in which I would never invest or recommend. It is the kind of feature, when viewed in photos 10 years from now will illicit the response,"What was I thinking?". I cite photos from the '80s as an example (and the inspiration for this look).




Balmain, Fall 2009






The Spring 2010 runways already show a much reduced shoulder. So when deciding which trends to invest in, you can take Big Shoulders off the list.

Big shouders: Put a fork in them, they're so done.

There is nothing like wearing the real thing, but with things the way they are in the world, it's insane to think about spending $2,300 on a pair of shoes.

$2,300 can buy 300 long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets, 500 packets of high energy biscuits specifically for malnourished children in emergency situations, 350 doses of the measles vaccine, 100 HIV/AIDs rapid diagnostic test kits suitable for children over 18 months old, 5 double-sided chalkboards, 10 chalkboard dusters, 500 white chalk sticks and 500 colored chalk sticks when donated to Unicef, just food for thought.
