The first one looks like something my mom has been wearing for years. The third one: come on! That look has been done over and over again. Yawn. The second one, well, it looks alright. Those colours in the 3 pics are winter colours not spring like at all. Boring!!!!!

Nicole February 15th, 2007

I don’t think any of these looks are cute, especially the “sailor pants”.

Katie February 15th, 2007

The ballet flats need to go away! They look like my moms house slippers. YUCK

The mod mini dress is cute for those people with long tone legs. Keep rockin’ that look!!

Now the sailor look is very classy worn on the right person but lets not mix the ballet flats with the sailor pant!

kate bosworths outfit and keira’s outfit are really fashionable and unique. i love the outfits and i love them.

I saw that piece on the Today show this morning and the ballet look stuff is really cute as long as it’s done in moderation. I don’t really care for the other 2 looks. The nautical stuff is too stiff with those high waisted pants and the mod stuff is just not flattering.

I personally love all these looks, espacially Kate Bosworths! she’s totally adorable. And i am very pleased to see flats are still very in, they are cute and not painful to wear!

none are really that catchy and that metallic dress is uncool and what is up with the sailor look, anyways…

Kelty February 16th, 2007

When I think of spring, I don’t think of winter clothing or colours. The navy one looks like it is sunbleached and way too high up on the waiste.
