The Dish on Career, Fashion, Faith, and Family

Fashion Fridays: Fall via Heckle and Jeckle

September 18, 2015 by Gindi 4 Comments

Morning!  I wrote today’s Fashion Friday post from Florida with my super fun and witty friend, Kristin.

We were fresh out of ideas for Fashion Fridays, so we went trolling the Internet and fashion magazines.

Here’s some witty repartee from the peanut gallery to put a smile on your face (She’s Heckle, I’m Jeckle):

Heckle:  So, what’s the 2015 “fall color?”

Jeckle:  I don’t know, let’s check.  Hmm, according to Harpers Bazaar, one of the trendy colors this season is dried herb.

Heckle:  Dried herb? 

Jeckle:  Yes, we’d look like dried herbs if we sported it this fall.

Heckle:  What else they got? 

Jeckle:  Marsala. 

Heckle:  Marsala?  Show me.

Jeckle:  {Turning the screen to show this photograph.}

Heckle:  Marsala!  That is what they show as the option?!?!  It’s like…a mumu.  Marsala is not a good option.  Look, this blogger says its reminiscent of veal cutlets.  Use that. 

Jeckle : {Scrolling through the rest of the colors…}  They’ve got desert sage, stormy weather…

Heckle:  Desert sage is not a fall color.  And stormy weather is blueish gray.  Why don’t they call the color what it actually is. 

Jeckle:  Let’s try our In Style magazine.

Heckle:  I feel like these are all clothes for New Yorkers.  I wouldn’t wear this in Minnesota.  I don’t think you’d wear this in Texas. 

Jeckle:  This year’s fashion themes are Lady Danger, Arty Centric, Urban Nomad…{trailing off}

Heckle:  Fashion magazines… what is the percentage of women that can actually buy these clothes?  Who can pay $1,695 for a skirt?  Where should you really shop for fall?

Jeckle:  Who would want to pay that?  You could send a village in Africa to school.

Heckle:  I think you should write a post on where to shop on -line. There’s no where to shop in my town.

Jeckle:  Let’s stick to the task at hand.  Fall fashion. 

Heckle:  Oh yeah, right.  Okay.

Jeckle:  What do you love to wear for fall?  Or what do you want to wear? 

Heckle:  I love those leather jackets.  I’m always looking for pieces I can layer under those jackets.  I have a black one, a burgundy one (come to think of it, it’s MARSALA), and a cognac one.

What should I wear under it?  Oh, and I just bought those emerald skinny jeans this weekend, what should I pair with those? 

Jeckle:  Those are going to be gorgeous for fall.  This blouse from Ann Taylor would be beautiful under your “marsala” or your cognac jackets:

And even though your jeans are a little darker green than these, I still love this ensemble and think it would be perfect for early fall or even early spring in Minnesota.

Heckle: Okay, that I can work with.  This has been fun. 

Jeckle:  Yes, I think I’m going to call you before writing all my posts.  Well, actually it’s easier with us sitting at the same table.  Next vaca?

    Wow that Marsala mumu is VILE. Today my friend showed me her new fall boots. Fox fur, $900, from Gorsuch, link below. I try to keep my boots closer to the $90 range.

      No words. I don’t even know how to process “fashion” sometimes!

Welcome

Come on in. I have a reservation just for you. I know life is busy. I would love for us to step out for a relaxing lunch but schedules don't always allow. So let's pop open that salad or sandwich sitting in front of our computers, and we'll have lunch right here. A few minutes is all we need to connect to community.
