I am just back from Europe and did not really paid attention to what people wear in the street (Jet Lag:-) ) But I will.:-)However as Jennifer said, retailers (included Nousha) are promoting very bright colors for spring yellow , orange, green, pink! Black and white, 'Bright ombre", art-print clothes and shoes are some other trends we should be seeing soon on people in SF!! :-))) I am surprised you haven’t seen more bright colors in the street.

I'm intrigued (still looking for a big stylish bag to replace my "3-bag-mess"), and would love to see examples. Thanks!! Angie, can you talk more about those large flat totes you saw in SFO?

Alternatively, skinny and straight legs automatically pull up shorter whether they scrunch. Rach, hem your pants so that they’re an eighth of an inch above the ground.

I like the style. So while I was reading about the airport fashion I was thinking that alot of people just dont care how they look when they travel cause they want to be comfortable [planes are way to cramped these days]. While this is true...as soon as you said fanny pack...hello???? I'm never dressing airport comfy again if I am being put into fanny pack territory! San Francisco sounds fab! I like the style.

There is no excuse to look slovenly and badly dressed when we travel. Now more than ever, technological breakthroughs allow us to be comfortable AND stylish at any time. I therefore continue to have no empathy for sweats as a form of outerwear. To your point, Joey. There is no excuse to look slovenly and badly dressed when we travel.

This has a fabulous elongating effect. Flats are also great if you sport the right pants length ( as you astutely pointed out), and the only option if you can’t wear heels. Don’t worry Shannon. Wide-legged pants are here to stay. They tend to look better with heels (unless you are tall and slim limbed) which is probably why I didn’t see them on the Streets of SF. Urbanites tend to wear flats which look better with sleeker pant widths. It’s interesting how the wide-legged pant is an American trend. The look has been non-existent in Euro stores. It continues to be all about the skinny on the Continent. Denise, heels look wonderful with boot cuts, especially if you are shorter in the leg. This has a fabulous elongating effect.

Yesterday, I returned from the grocery store and started to pen a post to the forum about the hideousness of grocery store outfits. I decided not to post it because it made me sound catty. (reeow). I have to admit that I do notice too short (and too long) pant lengths much more now, and I am far more aware of my own pant length. Yesterday's grocery store winner was a woman in her late 30's--maybe 40's. She had on stone washed jeans that were either too short, or capri's on crack. As if the pants weren't bad enough--she wore them with white ankle socks and this weird shoe/boot/sneaker combination thing--that had an open back and lots and lots of black fleece spilling out of the foot hole. Oh, and the red and black plaid lumberjack style workshirt that came down almost to her knees, was the icing on the cake. I have been to San Francisco once--it was a great casual city. I went in October, and it would be cloudy and rainy and cold every morning, then it would clear up at noon and be warm and sunny. It must be very difficult to dress for such changes in weather in one day! Ha!

I love ballet flats and jeans and I typically wear my jeans so that the bottoms reach the ground. However as a college student I walk constantly and get really frustrated with wear and tear on the bottom of my jeans. I like a trendy but polished look. Any suggestions?
