Just say BOO!

Wearing clothes that wear you is almost never a good idea. Of course, there's stage (that's called a costume), an editorial photo shoot, and a very rare bird who knows how to pull off excess extravagance with flair without looking like the crazy cat lady. But for most, wearing outlandish fashion trends is an invitation to look like a fashion victim, (not very good) drag queen or hooker.  There, I've said it! No time better than early Halloween to get the fugly on with some of these scary fashion trends. Click through to check out the prices, looking cheap can come with a very high price tag!

Fashion’s Night Out from Giorgio Armani to Brad Boles

The fabulousness never ends… Dear Diary: Fashion’s Night Out started out as a must-see stop for me at the Giorgio Armani boutique to hear a special reading by Rosie O’Donnell from “Love, Loss, and What I Wore,” a new play by Nora Ephron and Della Ephron, based on the book by Ilene Beckerman.

I have to admit that unless it’s embedded in my brain from some cosmic cryptoid, there is a very good chance that I will end up at the wrong address on the wrong date. Starting my evening out with all good intentions downtown, I found myself weighing through the gang of girls
