Creepers | Fashionably Meg

black on black on black

I love black. I love sheer. I love flowy. I also think an all black, sheer and flowy ensemble needs a little plastic. Not just plastic so you can pay for said ensemble, but plastic to add texture. Too much sheer and flowy and you’ll look like smoke, or a shadow, or possibly a Ringwraith/Dementor. Fear not, patent isn’t only reserved for the 60’s and early 2000’s. Everything comes back, and if you know what you’re doing you can definitely tote a giant patent messenger bag. Or maybe patent creepers? Or a shiny vinyl watch?

It is hard to even think about the warm, layered clothing of Fall while it is getting hotter and hotter in New Orleans. But of course, that chilly time of year will be here before we know it…hopefully.

I haven’t been able to find good photos of the A/W 2011 collection from Ashish, which I am madly in love with. It so happens that the fabulous Style Bubble has a great post with a few photos and some proper photos of their magnificent creepers. Susie Bubble DIY’d her own pair and I have to say, I do like hers better and I plan on creating my own spiderweb tights once the weather permits.
