Because I must.


Your outpouring of support on yesterday’s post (okay, 27 comments, 2 of them are mine, but still) has put me on Cloud Nine. I actually caught myself daydreaming, “Maybe I'll never blog about weddings again...”

But then J.Crew released this ugly-ass wedding jumpsuit, and they're all omg we're so edgy, who says you have to wear a gown on your big day? and so of course I had to post it here if only to point out that it is ugly.* 

Right?? I can't quite figure out why... I think because it's neither form-fitting nor slouchy, it's just sort of there. And also THOSE HIDEOUS BOWS GOING DOWN THE BACK. They are hideous.

And also I don't really like lace. There. I said it. I don't really like lace.







Someone should take my wedding blogger card away.

  1. And also because it looks like something you'd put an infant in for a baptism.

  2. Another lace hater here. I hate anything with sparkles on a wedding dress as well, so maybe I can't be trusted.

  9. I believe jumpsuits should never be lacy.

    Go ahead, someone throw a link at me and try to prove me wrong, I dare you.

  10. I don't always agree with your fashion assessment (I just can't get on board with a silk sack) but DAMN that is fugly. Though if you made it out of flannel I could be down with it as pajamas.

  11. shockingly hideous.

  12. Too bad because I am definitely down with a wedding jumpsuit. But the bows are terrible. And I never like lace. (this makes me very annoyingly picky about lingerie).

  13. Haven't seen a jumpsuit that does flattering things for ones ass.

  14. I commented on this yesterday but some internet blip deleted it. My comment went something like:

    Who is the target market for this? I mean, besides Jenna Lyons.

    I actually like the cut of the top from the front (the flutter sleeves and deep V), although it'd only look god on someone with no boobs (b/c with boobs it'd look '80s). I hate hate hate the bows and the bottom part is just unflattering.

    A jumpsuit has to be edgy/androgynous. It can't be OVERLY feminine or who's going to wear it as a wedding outfit? The lace just does not work (and I like lace).

  15. My first thought was clown costume...

  16. I like that you can be honest about it instead of going with the flow and trying really hard to say something nice about it because everyone else is.

  17. Who bought all of the size 0's?
