How Do I Look?

How do you tell a friend that their fashion sense sucks? We’re not talking about a subtle, mixing-different-shades-of-black misstep — we’re talking about your BFF’s consistently tragic knack for putting together an outfit that’s to’ up from the flo’ up. When she pairs those straining at the seams Lindsay Lohan leggings with that ill fitting, circa-1990 sparkly jacket, then sits to tug on a pair of Uggs before you hit the club, you might be tempted to get all fashion police on her. Hold up. Before you call in your closest chica on a played-out trend infraction, might we recommend a more passive, less aggressive approach? Take your amiga to Gen Art’s Shop Miami 2008 at the fabulous Moore Building (4040 NE Second Ave., Miami). At this one night only NYC—style sample sale, over 40 local designers and boutiques will offer their finest garments for purchase, thereby giving you and your friend the opportunity to go from “are you wearing that?” to “OMG, that looks so cute on you!”
