This year I might give in and wear shades of Red or Pink just to throw everybody off. Any of these pieces from Urban Outfitters and Topshop would work. Whether you’re in love or not, these feminine colors can be worn in less-than-girly ways with T-shirts, sneakers, high waisted carrot pants, or paper bag waist shorts. Whatever you do, just don’t wear any hearts or anything like this on V-day!

WWD is predicting that the “Forest Ranger” look is what the retail industry will be pushing on us in Fall ’08. Obviously, it’s very grunge. Well, if grunge were strained through a J. Crew cheesecloth.
And I won’t lie, I like J.Crew, but I hope people will go a little further than that next Fall. I embrace the orange Dr. Martens, I delight in the use of color, and I even like the long Calvin Klein socks as updated thermals, but when you mix it up together the effect is so store bought and polished that it kind of misses the sentiment of the style that it aims to reinterpret, no?
WAH! Knowing that fashion is cyclical, I’ve been hoping for a while that style would get a little deconstructed, a little tattered, a little lazy. I’m dying to see popular fashion lose the high price, glossy, gilded glamour.
I want to roll in the mud, not buy expensive shorts.
