See, this is just wrong:

I could start out by noting that the proportions of this outfit are totally, totally off: the long shirt/cuffed jeans/short boots makes her look outrageously stumpy. But instead, I’ll note that each component of said Proportion Disaster is singularly awful. The tunic-length, lingerie-inspired, slip-thingie? No. There’s a way to wear that and this isn’t it. [The way to wear it, by the way, starts with deciding against cinching one of your grandmother’s Dacyron Demi-Slips from Sears and pretending it’s a fashion statement.] The jeans? Oh, honey. No. I get the cropped thing, but these look like they were rolled up because you were out mucking around in the garden and you didn’t want to sully the cuffs. They’re not even…well, even.
Let’s not speak of the boots, which shouldn’t ever even be paired with this outfit.
Frankly, I blame Mary Kate Olsen for all of this. Derelict-Chic is hard enough for her to pull off, and she’s riding high on the combined goodwill from New York Minute [admittedly, said goodwill comes only from me, and I have no defense for it, other than reminding everyone that said film does include a make-over at an establishment called House of Bling], and because she’s so skinny and sad. This aging little starlet, whomever she may be – I have already forgotten her name, in fact, although I think it might be Hilary Something Or Other – has no such cache to fall back on. So I wonder if she should try falling back on, you know, not dressing like a deranged cowgirl who’s been startled out of a deep sleep in the back corner of JC Penney’s Intimate’s section.
