i totally agree with the town gowns.
They look cheap…you wear them…u look cheap…not chic.
although i would consider a shorter version of them…with a little alteration of the initial design here and there.
and the skinny jeans…hmmm..even though i CAN pull them off without a single problem…i am NOT a big fan of the trend…i would take straight or boot cut over them any day…flared out legs dont go with me…since i have no big bum to balance out the flare..and i have long legs..and dread ending up looking like a stork.LOL!
have this beautiful pair i am really proud of, dark washed denim, which comes with a denim belt with a beautiful decorated chic buckle..and they are straight..and look awesome on me!!
looking forward to more posts since this is the first time i stumbled across your blog…happy blogging!!^_^

I agree with you about both trends. They look good on about 5% of the population and are not-so-flattering on the rest of us (me included).

thank you, thank you. and I totally agree on the jeans and that’s why I will never rock the skinny jean (hips are way too wide)!!!

I say no on both.

Just because you change the name of something, doesn’t make it any better. Town Gown? Right.

As The Talking Heads said (so well): “Same as it ever was”.

I think that there are bigger things to get irritated over than the Old Navy ad campaign, maybe its time to loosen up a little?
As far as the town gown goes, I dont think they are ugly and I bought one of the long ones even though I am a bigger gal, and I think it looks fine. Remember, it isn’t the dress that makes ya look fat…
Granted, it was a bit to long and I had to lay it up, but everything I buy seems a bit too long and needs hemming.
The short version did make me look like an egg, so I didn’t buy it, but I am sure that it looks good on some people.
I personally don’t buy skinny jeans, but it is more because I enjoy getting my hands into my pockets.
The thing about fashion is that if you think you look good, you probably do. Confidence it better than any thing you can buy and beauty (and humor) are in the eye of the beholder, so if you want to wear skinny jeans, a town gown, leg warmers, etc. more power to you! Even if you are above 20 something!

Oh, my, those ON ads are weird-o. I cannot stand talking mannequins. They freak me out.

Moving on… the “town” gowns are really yucky (although the Nordstrom one has a pretty print… still waaay too long for me).

I found you through one of your comments on Mrs. Fussypants’ site. You write like I think I will be subscribing!

i wear both skinny jeans and the dresses. I only have one dress that is long and I wear it as a swimsuit coverup. At first I wasn’t sure if those type of jeans would look good on me. I had a gift card that I received from my sister and I found some that I liked so I tried some on and they actually looked good. I’m not like 90 pounds and really skinny, but I am kind of straightish and most pants fit me kind of funny and these actually seem to fit the best everywhere as opposed to the others that I own.

The town gowns would be acceptable sleepwear or swimsuit cover up. And those commercials are completely annoying.

I would look really bad in skinny jeans.
