depression chic: spring trends 2009

i was pursuing one of my favorite fashion websites, style.com, and i came across the Spring 2009 report.

check out these categories:

1. depression chic
2. geometry lessons
3. goddess worship
4. marrakesh express
5. sporting goods
6. trash and vaudeville

i think depression chic is ironically close to melancholy chic (which, as you know, is the term i use to define my style). So I vote for depression chic (though trash and vaudeville is a CLOSE runner up, but by name only. upon further examination, i fell in love with the goddess worship).

this shirt dress by bottega veneta is smart and sexy and i think i need it.

this flowing smock by preen is so intriguing.

if my style were as low-maintenance as the i-just-woke-up-and-decided-to-wear-this-sheet, then i would want it to be this sheet by donna karan.

if were aimlessly wandering the summer streets of nice, i would want to be lost in this gorgeous gown by Halston.

consider this part of my last will and testament: i would like to be buried in this (by Max Azria)

take a gander at the collection if you want, but whoever invented the term 'depression chic' seriously owes me some royalty fees.

which collection do you gal(s) vote for?

p.s. if i were to be cast in a new terminator movie, i would want to play the she bot wearing this!
