Are those buttons, or are you happy to be here?

It's fashion week in San Antonio. I tuned in because I was curious. You've seen clips from my local morning show before. Our local fashion 'expert' gave the rundown on the basics that should be in every woman's closet...

a basic white t-shirt

a white button-down blouse

a black button-down blouse

a vest

an A-line skirt (the skirt she showed had so much ruching people will be confused-it was not a good example-because it was strictly a junk-in-the-trunk skirt)

a deep v sweater

a black turtleneck (really? I'll disagree on that; makes heavy or busty people look CHUNKIER)

a black jacket

basic black pants

little black dress

a leather military style jacket-she meant a bomber jacket

tanks

black and brown belts (if everything is black and white, do we NEED BROWN?)

scarves-there was a lot of yak yak about how to wear a scarf-you know, fold it in half and do a keyhole loop ..... nothing to see here, move along, move along...

basic black bag-get a basic Michael Kors bag and a basic black Chanel bag (eyeroll-you know how much WIC we have in our town?)

This was by no means the WORST "must have list" I have ever seen; it fit the presenter's demographic VERY well (25-34) but if you don't look good in white, can you have off-white? If you look bad in a turtleneck, can you get a jewel neck? The "Chanel purse" makes me a little crazy-I mean fer reals.

I have to wonder-is it just me, or do they really not see what they 'present' when they look in the mirror? Or maybe it's just the crew....
