I think we (at least the over 28 crowd - although I am well past that age) have all established that Lucky Magazine sucks and it sucks bad - maybe it's because it doesn't cater to the over 35 set. I am so glad that my subscription is almost over and I will not have to be subjected to outfits such as this (sorry for the glare):
Here is a close-up:
I was so outraged when I saw this photo, I had to come upstairs and immediately write this post! What person, never mind "preppy" in their right mind would wear light colored jeans with grey socks (striped!) and red patent leather high heels??? Please tell me!!! I think the editors of Lucky should have to wear these outfits they think are so "chic" as punishment and we'll see how they like them. Furthermore, I hope that Tarah Zuckerman didn't leave her house or apt. looking like this but was coerced by the editors, who I also hope, were the ones who cooked up the quote "This is a cool, downtown Manhattan take on a classic New England look." Huh??? Now I am not from New England but I am pretty sure you all up there aren't running around looking like this photo. Tarah must have been brainwashed because later in the blurb she states "this would be great for work (she is an ad exec!?!) because I could add or remove layers depending on whether I'm giving a presentation or just brainstorming at my desk." Um, I am pretty sure that you should be FIRED for wearing an outfit like this unless you are legally blind never mind giving a presentation!
I am seriously am considering just tossing the last remaining issues into the bin before even looking at them so I will not have to be offended by such atrocities as on page 72 of the January issue. I should mention that this was from the "Four girls, one..." feature where the actual item worn was a sheer midnight blue top with a tie neck! Could it get any worse??? The entire concept of this outfit is wrong on so many levels.

She looks like she got dressed in the dark.
PS: I responded to your comment on my blog. I found that dress online. It is HIDEOUS.
Not to mention these pants don't look hemmed. Looks like they were just tucked under for the shoot. Gross. I would never wear this--not even in 1986 when it was in style.
"This is a cool, downtown Manhattan take on a classic New England look."
Well I am from New England, and it certainly is not.
Not only am I well past 28 I'm also well past 35 and probably the only time I skim Lucky is when I'm waiting to have my hair cut. Ugh.
LOL that was the funny part - seriously, what is so New England about that outfit?

Not. A. Thing. However, I bet Lucky figured "ah, blue blazer" -- must be New England prep!
What awful attire. I wouldn't leave my house looking like that.
ugh! that's hideous!
YIKES! On so many levels, is right!
