The hit & misses of 2011 were many, from the hits of the reinvention of the jumpsuits & wide leg trousers, to the awful invention of jeggings & the bubble skirt!  But I want to concentrate on what my big hit of the year was, and that was the brilliance of Alexander McQueen, whom we sadly lost and who is greatly missed.  But despite the fact that he is no longer with us, his brilliance lives on in his fashion house thanks to Sarah Burton who continues to build on his legacy.  She was the one behind the design of Kate Middleton's beautiful wedding gown and the infamous bridesmaid dress of her sister Pippa Middleton. 



The beautiful exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum, 'Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty', celebrated the late designer's innovative and exceptional contributions to the fashion world.  There were over 600,000 people who attended this exhibit.



Whoever told you that jeggings were flattering was lying!!  These are one of my personal big misses of 2011.  I think they are cheap looking and unflattering even on thinner people!  Please, keep them at bay!!



My other big miss of 2011 is the bubble skirt!  Really?  Why would I want to wear something to accentuate my hips and backside??  Again, even on thinner girls this look is just plain bad!  Sorry, but no-one could get me to put one of these unflattering items of clothing on!!
