Fashion Sticky Notes … actual hideous things I see people wearing, and how to remedy the problems they present

+Yoga pants that look like yoga pants tucked into riding boots pretending to be pants. IF THEY LOOK LIKE YOGA PANTS, you're not fooling anyone. Dead giveaways: piping across the butt, down the leg, logos, and colored waistbands if exposed. Do everyone a favor and just find plain, thick yoga pants to pretend are pants. (AND I do this, so I'm not complaining about the trend itself, just the execution)

+Shorts at night. I've been over how I personally feel this is inappropriate at all times, but now it's fall and you have absolutely no excuse for wearing shorts at night.

+Skinny belts slapped onto a dress—or worse, a shirt—because a magazine told you so. Really? Do you wear crazy makeup looks straight off the runway too? Make sure the belt adds something to your outfit AND your figure. If your waist isn't your skinniest feature, why would you highlight it???
Things I like … and you should too, because I knew about jellies shoes way before they were cool

*navy + orange
*southwestern-style accents in scarves or socks
*leggings + tall socks + boots
*short-sleeve hoodies or coats (only in fall can you get away with this)
*funky french manis like glitter or neons
*neon accents
*boxy bags
*cord, rope, or otherwise raw material bracelets

Update to Restaurant Week

The other restaurant week, not the one that just ended. So confusing, I know, we had no restaurant week and now we have two?!

For the “official” Austin Restaurant Week, over 50 restaurants will provide $25 and $35 three-course prix fixe menus to diners for eight nights. A list of participating restaurants will be released Sept 2, but sign up at the website to be the first to know!

In other RARE magazine news, the owner/publisher just bought DIY South Lamar boutique Moxie and the Compound … the Statesman has the full scoop.

The restaurant list is posted! But they won’t officially be released til Tuesday, so I’ll keep quiet. I will tell you that I’d love to try more than one of the places, BUT some of the ritzier restaurants in Austin are not there.
