Extremely Antagonizing: Pretty Dresses with Awkward Shoes

It's quite irksome when shapes don't flow; not that everything should match up (because, let's face it, a shoe shaped like a dress would look incredibly awkward) but a harmonious flow from torso to legs to feet as translated through various textiles is always appreciated, never overlooked.

Now.

Mischa Barton's shapeless sparkle contraption is awkward enough (the girl DOES tend to wear sacks) without the bulky shoe-box looking footgear she's got on, but if she had worn something daintier -- perhaps something in the way of a peep-toe pump in the same color or even a standard pointy stiletto -- she might have knocked out that bulky-twiggy-bulky theme and actually had length and grace.

And Lily Allen, she who most likely couldn't give a shit about the dubious harmony of her outfit nor what I think about it, is actually wearing one of the most flattering dresses I've ever seen gracing her body -- and I'm positive that it's not because her waist looks so tiny in juxtaposition with her alarmingly large feet. From mid-tibia up, Lily looks... amazing. Look at that hair! The attitude of her whole face with the sexy aviators, red lipstick, and girlish star earrings! Now look at her giant boots, which you know she totally could have rocked with a cute mini or encasing ripped jeans.

I know, disappointing.

Barton is in the midst of a metallic frenzy there! One thing I will say for her, is that her legs actually look okay in this pic.

And Lily Allen..well, that look/idea isn't working for her anymore. The boots have got to go!

Ew. I hate clashing metallics. Way overdone. And the cut of her dress makes it look like she has shoulder pads.

Lily Allen needs a denim mini and a wife beater to go with those boots. Indeed.

Wow, I was considering purchasing a pair of army type boots. Lily Allen is very convincing in this photo > I'm not buying any army boots.

Mischa does appear to have too much metallics. Even her make-up matches. It's way too much.
