do you guys remember that one episode of the simpsons where Homer is daydreaming about what it would be like to be disgustingly rich and for some reason he was 20 ft tall and gold-plated? hahahah, that was awesome.
sigh…

   haha… oh! sorry, lost my train of thought. um, so i was thinking about my post on personal style power last week, and about some crusty ol’ fashion faux pas and ways to debunk them. then i saw this contest from shopstyle.com (drool. the selection.) and i wanted to give myself a challenge.

   could i pick one of this year’s trendiest colors and style an outfit using nothing but? could one pull it off without coming across as sort of shamefully “nouveau riche?” see for yourself… if you use a variety of textures and shades, mix down-to-earth fabrics with just a sliver of lamé and throw in a neutral accent, i think it’s quite possible to pull off head to toe gold. try it with your favorite color!

   of course, i could be crazy. so don’t let me tell you that you can’t wear your gold lamé spandex catsuit if you feel like it. because if i ever win the lottery, the first thing i’m going to do is buy a big box of gold leaf just to see what it feels like to be covered with nothing but. and then i’ll do the dishes.
