Every Sunday, CC takes the trash out to the curb. CC notes today the odd (and, daresay, alluring) similarity between a garbage bag and these designs, many of which are quite lovely and wearable, despite the potentially negative association.

ReplyDeletei didn't really think about it but you're right! they do look like trashbags :)
i quite like the look though, black and shinyy !
The trashbag! That's so funny haha!! xx
ReplyDeleteI may be wimpy, wimpy, wimpy---but I say no to the hefty, hefty, hefty.;-)
ReplyDeleteGood one, Carrie!
ReplyDeleteThere are some fascinating looks here, and I love the shiny black fabric, but you're right, the looks still resemble garbage bags.
garbage bags never looked so alluring in my mind.
ReplyDeleteCC, i will skip this look.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't noticed before. I'm not sure if I would had done or not, but you're right.
ReplyDeleteparticularly the first dress you display. It blooms out, just like a bin liner bag.
I never know what to think with the trash bag looking garments, they sometimes look quite good on the catwalk...but then I think they would never look that fantastic in a real situation!
ReplyDeleteyuck. i can't view the pictures!
ReplyDeletethis seemed so cool though!
even without the visuals.
i found a very cool bag the other day that sort of looked like a trash bag.
veyr cool..
wouldn't it be great if all your neighborhood would use those LV trash bags?
ReplyDeletejajaja
Oh no, I've got that annoying "wimpy, wimpy, wimpy!" voice from that commercial stuck in my head.
ReplyDeletethey do look like trashbags
ReplyDeleteI gave you two awards, please check my blog.

CC, you sassy chicadee...WHEN did you get this new fab banner? Tres chic! I have to say, anyone who would take their trash out in a Louis garbage bag is just sad sad sad. I would love to be driving along and see one of those on the side of a curb!
ReplyDeletethose baby blue boots are to die for!
ReplyDeletei loved this post!
ReplyDeletexoxo,
La C
WOW... that's some expensive LV trash bags!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your new header... FUN!
This is such an incredible look! I love it all :D
ReplyDeletewhy would anyone have print on an actual trash bag? they'll probably come out with different colors next or something.
ReplyDeleteI love this!
ReplyDeletehahhhahah some of the looks are interesting, but i vote no... Love the new header!
ReplyDeleteSO BEAUTIFUL, CC!! Got your letter; beautifull watercolor, you hidden artist, lovely caligraphy: SO delicate, beautifull inside of the envelope, beautifull stamps, (The cinderella is not too bad, but the Duke Ellington one rocks!)
ReplyDeleteAnd so are the "pegatinas",
Of course, beautifull detail, CC.
By the way: A LV rubish bag IT IS frivolity, I am afraid... jajaja! :)))
Muy buena asociación la que has hecho en este post, como siempre.
Many, many thanks, CC. Send me pics when you get those framed.
a original post! :)
ReplyDeleteI think it depends on the style and material.. Some of them are too trash bag-y, whereas others are head-turning..
ReplyDeleteI'm not against it if the material looks good..
this is one of those looks that i know i will never be able to pull of!!! would prob looks fantastic on the likes of mary-kate though!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing trashy about that Miu Miu cropped leather jacket...simply devine CC !
ReplyDelete~Great new week to you dear...
Very keen observation, CC.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lenore. Not trashy at all.. none of them.
THE LV TRASH BAG! LOL. that made me laugh.
ReplyDeletei am loving the asos long sleeved faux leather dress. it's so cool! i want it, most definitely. and the best thing is: no sweat stains!
ReplyDeletei really really like miu miu
ReplyDeleteit has grown on me so much.`
