Fashion Week Note

Queenie's Daughter is not unaware of the fashions of her time, although she may not emulate them nor perhaps approve. Today, however, she is among the fashionistas, slightly by accident and for under five dollars.

You see, several weeks ago, QD acquired from the Good Will a pair of gray wool trousers, originally sold at the Banana Republic (or is it Anne Taylor). The original Good Will price was six dollars, but on this day, the pink tags were half price, and the trousers sported a pink tag! Well, tha pants themselves are not so stylish. They tend to fall into the "high waters" category and they lack a certain flair. Until today. Walking the streets of NYC, QD noticed that the "gaucho pant" is still worn by women of all shapes and sizes and the pants themselves vary from skirty to slimmy to just plain hideous. So, Queenie's Daughter, who owns the most perfect boot ever sold, simply rolled up her gray wool Good Will trousers and BEHOLD! A fashion plate, a smartly dressed daughter of royalty, a chic youngish thing, a vision of sovereign beauty.

And most spectacularly of all, another day goes by with laundry neglected and person well dressed! If the pants are not entirely clean, they do not stink and they look fantastic:)

please note: we tried to link to the best boots, but they are no longer available at LL Bean. They are, we assure you, attractive enough to cause lust, envy and dare we say murder. We shall have to take pains to protect our bewts from desperate fashionistas everywhere!!!!

We are done for the day, so look sharp, roll up your pants, pay attention to politics and stand up (straight!) for yourself.
