Throwback Thursday-Punky Brewster

As I was trying to play catch up on my magazine reading, I read in In Style Magazine. that one of Kerry Washington's fashion icons was Punky Brewster.  Anyone else trying to picture Olivia Pope as Punky?  Already there my friend.  But I thought that it would be a perfect time to do a Throwback Thursday edition featuring Miss Brewster.

Sleeveless vests, multi-colored shirts, bright colored buttons, sun hair ties and of course mismatched tennis shoes were all staples of Punky's everyday attire.  Ah such simpler times when we all thought it was okay to dress like her, or maybe that was just me and Kerry.  And now I find it necessary to log into my Netflix account and see if I can stream old episodes.  Or pray for a reunion, although after googling pictures of Punky Brewster, I have seen more than enough of Soleil Moon Frye...too too much!

Fashion and Punky Brewster go so well together, that I even found out a well thought out description of her wardrobe musts, that I think I already figured next years Halloween costume...and its only April.  Feel free to steal the idea...unless you are one of my friends and will be attending the same party.  Because "I have Punky Power" and you don't!!!  

LOVE THIS!!! (Kinda Spoiler Alert...?)

I just saw this article on E! Online, Todd Chrisley's take on the Oscar attire of 2015.  If you don't know who Todd is, he is the some-what flamboyant father on the USA show, "Chrisley Knows Best." And although I initially passed it off as a 'Kardashian-type' show, it is so much better!  But anyways, this is not a TV show review, but my favorite of the pictures he commented on that I felt compelled to share:

Poor Fitz.  And although I would say this is a 'Scandal' spoiler, let's face it, for the last 4-seasons they have both broken each others hearts multiple times.  So don't worry people, we still have a shot at jam in Vermont.  #teamfitz  But I love the comment, "This is why the President decided to go to war."

For more of his comments on the whose who at the Oscars check out Oscar Red Carpet Comments here.  And I agree, this dress is very 'Olivia Pope.'

Someone Call Olivia Pope...These Outfits need Fixing

Well the one thing I learned from this weekends SAG Awards...bare mid-drifts are back.  Yay?  Although I do think the dresses seem to be a bit better than the People's Choice Awards outfits, there were a couple that made me scratch my head.  For example, Kerry Washington's pink and black top and skirt ensemble.

Kerry Washington

(Spoiler Warning: Huge Scandal Fan)
Generally I am a fan of pink and black, I mean how can you go wrong.  But this Vera Wang (sorry Vera) number just didn't make my day.  In fact it kinda made me cringe, and not because a pregnant lady is showing her belly, it was just odd.  And can the skirt waistline across the belly really be comfortable?  And the top, looks like it was too tight for her and so they had to rip apart the stitching.  I do like her hot pink purse though...and that is about it.

Mayim Bialik

And staying with the pink and black trend, Mayim Bialik's outfit may be even worse.  In fact, not may be..it is worse.  YOWZA.   This could be one of the ugliest dresses I have ever seen.  Is she 80-years-old?  I am sorry to be mean, that isn't fair to the 80-year old.  The dress could of been a bit better without the black lace top, a shawl could of been better than this too.  Besides the lace, there isn't really much to the dress in way of accessories, making it even more boring.  Hopefully the show was better than her dress.

Hmmm, how to save the outfit???

Well, for Mayim, I guess I would take off the black lace portion and add some accessories. I do like how the front seems a bit shorter, but I think she has basic black pumps on.  So maybe a hipper shoe that matches her jewelry or clutch.  For Kerry, I just don't like it.  The skirt is probably fine, but the top just doesn't work for me.  Heck maybe Mayim's top would look better on her than the pink sequined top.  Kerry and Vera...I just hoped for more.

All and all, not a great night for either of these two ladies.  I would tell both to BURN the dresses.  Kerry usually has much better outfits, so I will give her a slide on this one, although she is now (unbeknownst to me) a two time offender.  If only her 'Scandal' wardrobe people dressed her, cuz Olivia Pope's outfits are amazing...especially her gowns on the show.  And Mayim, you were already on 'What not to Wear' and if this continues, you may want to FIRE your people and hire Stacy and Clinton!
