Gretchen discovers feathers in Season 6 and we are all one step closer to death.
It’s easy to forget that it was the OC women who ushered in the era of girls trips paid for by the broadcasting network and meeting your girlfriend at a restaurant to loudly discuss personal issues. Then somebody hot glued a bird’s ass to the side and my will to live goes down the drain. Notice, that maroon sweater is fine nice cut, good color. You see what I’m saying about the one extra element thing, right? Just keep reading. The year is 2006 and the world had no information what’s to come.
Have the expectations for each season, as the series has evolved. When you consider that about half of their filmed activities involved shopping for something, you’d hope the results justify the effort. Usually, it’s rare that a greeting between two Real Housewives does not include some platitude about how beautiful the other looks or lackluster compliment of their outfit. Of course the gesture feels necessary, if only to acknowledge how much effort every woman on this show puts into her appearance, while hollow. Also regular displays of opulence and at least one Housewife who claims to be a fashion expert, we tune in for the drama, of course.
One positive thing with this season is that you can see what beginning will eventually become phenomenal makeup improvements.
In 2007 I was really into Lacoste polos, so I feel qualified to judge this fashions time. The shortlived Tammy easily won this season because she wore lots of grey and wasn’t very into jewelry. For some reason, the look is working for me, everyone is still o ‘heavy handed’ with the eyeliner. In 2007, if I had set up a stand in Orange County selling enormous, disk shaped necklaces, I would be a rich woman at this point. Guys, the jewelry.
Vicki is still figuring out cleavage and Alexis’ extensions look pretty good. Her blending eyeshadow is so nice that I can mostly forgive it, she does wear one ‘ill advised’ headscarf. Certainly, Chanel tacky ain’t that same as Orange County hair salon jewelry tacky, heather is that she wears loads of grey and a bunch of Chanel accessories, which are sort of tacky. Although, we also meet fancypants Heather Dubrow, who steers clear of any major missteps probably because there is some stratosphere of wealth where even if the clothes aren’t great, you don’t look like a train wreck. Now let me tell you something. This is the season where Alexis debuts her dress line and the light purple number that looks like fancy pajamas is featured in the collection.
In Season 4 we also meet Lynne.
Lynne with the unsubtle facelift. Lynne with the extraneous e in her name. Lynne with the eviction notice. Now please pay attention. Lynne with the truly terrible daughters. She looks great, although Vicki still loves those deep halters. The makeup is mostly flawless and almost everyone seems to gave gotten it together. Essentially, everyone’s hair is on point. The jump in how good these women look from this season even compared to the one before is remarkable. Seriously. Poor Lynne. As a result, lynne with the fictional money she keeps spending.
Most of the clothing can be forgiven with the year in mind, in fairness spirit, I must remind myself that it was 2006. What they will not realize is that fur mere presence on an item of clothing doesn’t make it classy. Actually, you can tell that when these women are ld to get ready for a classy evening, they immediately reach for their furs. We see a bunch of dress pants in Season You remember dress pants some sort of elastic and polyester blend that didn’t flatter your thighs but were appropriate for everything from bar mitzvahs to actual bars.
In 2006 we are still in the jeans and a goingout p era.
Lori makes a rather unfortunate hat choice which sets the stage for so many awful hats to come in this franchise. Spaghetti straps are in, and I can’t understand how any of these women’s breasts are being supported. Did you hear of something like this before? Still, her new face is settling in nicely and it seems that the production’s lightening budget skyrocketed overnight. Now pay attention please. That’s a Oprah Winfrey Network special programming quality lighting.
Jo wears the Chanel sunglasses that every cool rich girl in my area got for their birthday. Vicki Gunvalson is still wearing Ed Hardy in the year 2014 which is beyond unacceptable.
Here comes Gretchen. Her outfits always include an element that make them extraordinarily tacky, it seems like she’s going for this ladylike. A line dresses, and pearls. Orange County climate. Gretchen is easily among the worst dressed Real Housewives ever. These ladies love a silk blouse extra points if it’s jeweltoned, if it wasn’t clear already.
Each franchise necessarily exhibits a certain regional sensibly when it comes to fashion.
Join me for a meticulous anthropological journey through plenty of worst clothing in The history Real Housewives of Orange County. Known the New York women wear a bunch of grey, the Beverly Hills residents are often dripping in diamonds, and the women ability of Atlanta to follow every current fashion trend is a feat of its own. Furthermore, while the Real Housewives tend to dress well or at least adhere to a particular aesthetic a watchful eye can spot lots of terrible clothing. We begin this series with Orange women County because they are first and perhaps the most egregious.
