One of my fave blogs Lacquer (see blogroll) beat me to the punch in suggesting that the Times is, well, a bit behind the times, or at least on some kind of drug trip which is having a serious influence on editorial memory. Prim has been in the picture (on and off) for quite a few seasons now. I know because I love prim and I am not on a drug trip which has rendered my memory impaired.
Having had the nerve to diss the NY Times, I'm now going to add insult to injury by getting all lovey about - and reproductive of - a couple of newly uptight looks from Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton, pre-fall:

Say what you will about prim, it manages to be appropriate and hot - all the time.
BTW, just got a gorgeous pair of chocolate calfskin, cashmere-lined opera-length gloves from Club Monaco for $89.00 and they look like a million bucks when layered under a cropped sleeve.
Moreover, yesterday I stumbled on a new blog that seems quite interesting for it's mature perspective - Une femme d'un certain age. I found this great shot (Tahari) of the kind of look I absolutely adore - and absolutely wear - if not quite so sleekly:

Love the gloves. Do not love the shoes with outfit #1. Really like the last outfit, very Katherine Hepburn.
ReplyDeleteI had a post about this article too and I see your point. I loved the red gloves and the dress, but like la belette rouge, I hated the shoes!
ReplyDeleteBirdy - I'll check out your post.
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that the shoes have elicited all the commentary!
I completely agree with both of you that the gloves make the outfit and I do think that the shoes would be extremely hard to wear. But I find it kind of edgy. Very, "I'm so sexy I can wear flat boy oxfords with a pencil skirt".
