Dear Fashion Industry,
Some of us really aren't into the whole boho thing. Maybe it's because it looks sloppy, maybe it's because it comes around once every few months it seems, maybe because it looks like one dressed in the dark in a closet filled with mommy's old dress up clothes, but honestly, my mom threw that stuff out for a reason. Bring it back all you want, Sienna Miller, but it just don't work for me.
I believe that I am not alone on this one. I know that there are girls out there just wishing they could find things without "flounce" or "cheap lace" or "deconstructed hemlines". And there are options out there, sure. They're just a J.Crew catalog away, but sometimes J.Crew just doesn't cut it.
Case in point - handbags. If there's a handbag out there that covers all the bases - no contrast stitching, no garish logos, straps long enough to go on a shoulder, not Kate Spade, and not a hundred thousand dollars - I can't find it. It's times like these when I think I could try to embrace a hobo bag, but if I don't want to embrace a hobo, why would I embrace their bag? And J.Crew, my last ditch effort yields giant bags like the one I toted from Liz Claiborne when I was a sophmore in high school (which, darlings, was a very long time ago). I really didn't like that "big fat bag/little bitty handle" thing then and now I'm still not down with it.
Sigh. It's times like these when I wish for a lottery win so I can just have some Italian craftsman make what I want without the hassle of searching. So, fashion, step up. Remember that although we can pick through slouchy suede and wedge heels to find the classic grey flannel pumps, we still need something to put our crap in.
Thanks ever so,
OAA

Could I suggest that "Open Letter to Fashion Vol. 2" address the problem where executives think that low rise pants are the way to go for people of all body shapes? And can we talk about business professional capri pants while we're at it? xoxoxo-M
