Girls, are you reading PopYaCollar yet? It’s the blog of a fashion buyer at Woolies – La Muse – and I love her stuff because she doesn’t just ’show pretty things’ – she actually knows her shiz. You know, when a new trend comes in, you don’t always know the background of it, or why it’s in, or where it comes from. Suddenly, you just know that everyone is wearing stripes, and you must, too. But then La Muse comes along and tells us that ‘Coco Chanel who first saw a fisherman wearing stripes and turned them into a fashionable trend’. And I love knowing that!

I also love this stripey skirt

I also love her overview of Menswear for Spring. Ladies, you know you have to be a little clued up on stuff like this so you can guide your guy in his buying behaviour. Let’s face it – men don’t care about this stuff as much as we do, and sometimes it shows. So how great to be able to get an overview like this and maybe pick up a tweed scarf for your guy on your next shopping trip. And maybe some yellow harem pants on the next one. Guys like to argue with us about how we dress them (or rather, when we give input as to how they dress) but now with La Muse on your side, you just say,

‘well PopYaCollar says yellow harem pants are in right now and they must be worn with a tweed scarf and espadrilles’

and there you go, takes the indecision and doubt out of the process, which is half the problem. Your guy can feel secure in his fashionability, and you can enjoy stepping out with him, knowing he looks stylish, but not so stylish he looks gay, the stylishness being an ADDED BONUS anyway because we love our men for who they are inside. Right? Right.

(…Unless they drive Tazzes)
