Where the spotlight is hot
And you'll see in the spotlight
A Juggling Jott
Who can juggle some stuff
You might think he could not...
Such as twenty-two question marks,
Which is a lot.
Also forty-four commas
And, also, one dot!
That's the kind of Circus McGurkus I've got!”
― Dr. Seuss, If I Ran the Circus
Well Lovelies, summer came and went and with it should have gone pantsuits. I'm not talking the proper pant suit. I'm speaking of those that our mothers back in the 1970's may have worn and anyone who may have frequented Studio 54 back in "the day" may have sported. That said, I must offer a caveat, there are SOME pantsuits of that nature that are simply elegant and understated. This example that I will give you is not. There are some fashion pantsuits that when paired with the right updo, jewelry and shoes would be a very elegant moment, brace yourself because this is not one of those.
I am simply NOT sure what the statement this person is trying to make other than this may be a failed audition tape from "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert." Or maybe this picture was taken on the set of Priscilla and she's an extra. I kept thinking that maybe in that large oversized handbag (also a major fashion fail) would be a CD player or MP3 thing playing "Shake Your Groove Thing" because that is the only thing that could save that outfit right now. But I confess, I'm not positive that anything could actually "save" this outfit...not even if it were on fire and a hunky fireman offered to reach in and grab it from my burning closet. WHICH by the way would not happen because it would not be in my closet in the first place! Now the hunky fireman on the other hand...
Or perhaps she just arrived to this event via a clown car? She may be the one clown that didn't fit into the VW bug. We will never know, but we can hope that we never see such a bad example of a possible classic look.
All that said, I will give you a classic example of a pantsuit.
Tasteful, chic, and not at all circus like. This outfit does not scream P.T Barnum or reek of clown essence. This is the quintessential classic and tailored look! Coco Chanel and Ralph Lauren would be proud!
Stay fashionable my lovelies!
SM
