GENERAL SNARKINESS: Marie Claire December 2013


I really want to love this column like I used to.  I usually do love the style choices.  But this newer "girl" I do not like.  The previous "girl" (whose name sadly escapes me) would practice what she preached in the photo, and didn't write boring drivel telling larger women to accessorize more.  In this issue, other than the accessory thing, she's instructing her readers to wear "bright jewel tones, twinkling embellishments, gilded trimmings, lacy overlay."  These sort of things are shown to the right, and they look lovely.  In her photo she's monochrome wearing none of the above.  SHOW, DON'T TELL.  I will give her that it's a cute photo, and maybe she was just desperate to publish it, but still.
