Awesome! But So Impractical

I think all of us, who are obsessed with fashion and clothes and trends etc learnt early on that sometimes one has to compromise to look good. Wear those killer pumps, as they kill your feet with every step you take. Those really tight jeans that make your legs look amazing but make it extremely difficult for you to bend or sit or even walk!

Beauty Is Pain.

But here is a list of things that are not worth the effort or the pain!
However impractical they seem they do look good, well at least some.


Bohemian Wrapsody


Even Blair Waldorf stays away from headbands that go across the forehead. They are really cute but what is the purpose of them? They don`t take your hair away from your face and when you will take it off you will probably have a weird mark on your forehead. And look how weird the hair ends up looking.


Peep Toe Booties


I am sorry,as much as I am dying to buy these Louboutins ..
I know they are never going to work in Dilli Ki Sardi Or Dilli Ki Garmi. The point of a boot(ie) is to keep you warm.So doesn`t that peep toe make it counter productive? The material of the shoe will definitely keep your foot warm but your toes are going to freeze off.


Fingerless Gloves
I hope Karl Lagerfeld doesn't read this (yeah right, ha-ha) but fingerless gloves are the most impractical thing i have seen. Yes they make it much easier to type away at your blackberrys and iphones, and pick up objects without taking them off.But what about your little finger tips? Why should they have to work in the cold when the rest of the hand gets to be warm?


Coat Capes

Now this is one thing I dont think is awesome. Its just plain impractical.You have to wear a thick sweater underneath it and that just makes you look um..pregnant. Even Leighton Meester couldn`t pull this one off and she looks like an octopus with two hands.

She got so distracted by the sheer ugliness of it that she couldn't even walk properly!


Super Duper Skinny Scarves/Mufflers.
Correct me if I am wrong but I always thought that mufflers are supposed to keep your neck/chest area warm.So what do these do?
Is she going to hang herself? I would if I were wearing that. Then it would have some use at least!

Clutches

These clutches are seriously to die for
Alexander McQueen Clutch

Bottega Veneta Knot Clutch
But I have never managed to understand how people carry them. I mean how are you supposed to hold a drink, shake peoples hands etc while you are clutching..well at your clutch. They are people who carry them under their arms, but that is just simply unhygienic and who would put these beauties through that?
