Jenn v. Sarah: Missoni meets Converse

I think I like Missoni so much because it really hit its fashion peak in the 1960's and 1970's—two decades I missed entirely, but am forever trying to recreate in style. Plus, I just like colorful stuff and they've definitely got that going for them.

Jenn hates Missoni. Our differences of opinion on this matter became apparent on a shopping trip in H&M last year when I wanted to buy a...

Jenn v. Sarah: Hippie Headbands

Sarah: So I know I've said this like a bazillion times before, but I love the boho/hippie/free spirt look—which is why more than anything I love the headband around the head thing that I keep seeing celebrities doing. And finally, this weekend, I saw people doing it in real life. I want to try it.

Jenn: Okay, so where...

Jenn v. Sarah: Jumpsuits

Jenn: Sooooo.... I just opened my email inbox to find the words, "Jumpsuit: your one piece dressing!" staring out at me. My initial thought was that I think it is a little presumptuous to use exclamatory punctuation about something that might actually zip up the front, but then I remembered how long it took me to pick out my outfit this morning and that I could have slept for 20 more minutes if I had the...

Jenn v. Sarah: Golden Globes Round Up

Sarah: So, confession: I didn't watch all of the Golden Globes because I was busy watching Wake Forest dominate UNC in basketball.
Jenn: It's okay. I didn't even realize they were on. I was too busy obsessing over Jack Bauer and the return of Posted at 07:05 AM in Jenn v. Sarah | Permalink | Comments (0)

Jenn v. Sarah: Arm Warmers

Sarah's thoughts:

I often go to Jenn for clothing advice, not because we have similar tastes (which, we do. On more than one occasion we have shown up for events in the EXACT. SAME. OUTFIT.), but because she tends to be the voice of reason in my fashion choices. When I'm thinking "Oh, I like all of the vibrant colors in...

Jenn v. Sarah: Marc by Marc Jacobs Necklace

Jenn’s thoughts:
Brace yourselves, readers. Because I love it. It's kicky, it's fun, it's unexpected, it's clever.

It's perfect...if you happen to be an affluent, flirty teenager currently starring on a morally degrading CW show. Who else could possibly get away with wearing a piece of jewelry that is a giant label...

Jenn v. Sarah: Long Dress

Sarah's thoughts:
So, I was checking out Tibi's collection for fall and came across this dress that I really love. I can't really decide why. It doesn't look particularly fall-ish, which could be part of it because truth be told, I'm a bright colors and flowy fabrics kind of gal. (Reason #8973274 I love just about everything Tibi puts out.) It also looks very suitable for someone not interested it showing off the...

Jenn v. Sarah: Tapered Trousers

Jenn's thoughts:
I love that designers have been "mixing it up" in the pants department over the last few seasons. Heck I even purchased a pair of skinny jeans last fall (something I vowed I'd never do. A vow I kept until I could no longer deny how cute they looked tucked inside high boots. I can't resist anything that looks good with boots). However, there...

Jenn v. Sarah: Fringe Boots

Sarah: So I am almost a certain I saw a pic of Mischa Barton wearing a version of these boots. Granted, hers were brown and went a little higher. But, well, a small part of me has always wanted to be Marissa Cooper. I see this as my chance.
