GENERAL SNARKINESS: Marie Claire January 2014


Seems like every month this column annoys me, when I really want to love it.  The editorial choices are great - I would almost always wear anything they show.  Unfortunately the author continues to not practice what she preaches and it is driving me insane.  Here she says to go bold with graphic prints and statement jewelry, which is not exactly new and refreshing advice for plus size women, but okay.  In her photo, she's in black and beige with no patterns and you can't see any jewelry.  If the purse is supposed to stand out as a graphic, it fails because it's the same colors as her clothes.  So does she ever wear anything she's promoting?


The answer is yes, when it's something she designed and wants to sell you as one of her "picks."  It looks beige and plain here, but it's a light pink and quilted on the site, where it retails for $208.  I hope it is super successful, she leaves the column, and they hire someone better like the last girl.
