Horrors of Fashion

I’m wondering what the thought process behind this purse was. Why would you desecrate grandma’s lovely embroidered purse with clearly-not-actually-leopard-fur? I mean, who’s going to believe that anyone went to the trouble to kill a leopard just to have it sewn onto a purse that is simply not leopard-appropriate? I may be missing some steps in the fur trade process, but you get the idea.
Wait, that is, like, just dyed rabbit fur, right? Or dyed faux fur? They uh…they don’t actually use leopard fur, right?
RIGHT?

At first glance, this is kind of cool looking. I like the construction, and the colour combo is nice. But then I realized that this was made from an airplane seat. So, no. The love is over.

Just try and tell me this doesn’t remind you of a furby. Just try.

Knucklebox clutches are apparently a new thing, I’ve seen them all over town. I’ve never understood the appeal until this one, by Alexander McQueen, which is clearly perfect for when you want to spend $2515.98 to punch someone in the face. The skull on the knuckle ring makes in look extra dangerous.

This $850 pair of studded lips by Lulu Guinness goes with literally nothing in your closet. As an added bonus, it will frighten away strangers. Finally, no more waiting in line at the movies!

Who could resist this baby Wookie; available to drape over your arm for only $20.00.
There is nothing about this that is good.

For my first post, I want to feature this gem. Not as high quality fashion as the things my colleague has been posting, but I saw this in an Aldo store and was struck by how incredibly, incredibly hideous it is. This miracle of knock-off fur vomit can be yours for the low, low price of $40.00.

Here’s another one that confuses me. Not sure what is with the green mink. Looks like grass growing out of the sides of the clutch. It looks a bit garage sale-y to me.
