Animalzzzzz


Animals? Love. Clothes? Love? Accessories? Love. Animals and clothes? Eh...! Animal accessories? Hmmm...! You may think animals are one dimensional. I mean, all they do is eat, sleep, drink and exercise under duress. Quite like humans, in fact. But animals are more and more in the spotlight. They feature on jumpers, they make up earrings. Animals can pose too, you know. 


However, let me show two examples when animals can go wrong. Animals and Mr's, to be precise:
1. Mr. Big gave Carrie this Judith Leiber swan purse in SATC. She felt compelled to say 'I love you'. Not the 'I love you' because I love this gift. More 'I love you' because you tried and that's all that counts. Right?
2. Mr. Darcy in Bridget Jone's Diary and his reindeer jumper. Apparently, his mother picked this gem for him to wear. Enough said.

(Example A. Example B.)


I feel this '''trend''' is something, you will either love or hate. I am in the middle. Sitting on the fence. Wearing my koala bear jumper and feeding apples to horses. What do you think?

I think that it can look cool when done right, but it can also look like you are wearing your 9-year old daughter/sister/niece's clothes.
