Day 1 & 2: Paris Fashion Week S/S 2014

Day 1 & Day 2 of Paris Fashion Week has left me perplexed. How can I describe it to you? Either you will love a design or you will hate it. There's no in-between. There's no gray area. It is...what it is. If you thought London was on a different level, then Paris is wayyy out in the stratosphere...the abyss, baby (i did NOT include those stratospheric collections here). I found myself liking, only a section of a collection (as you will see below - just 1 strip). That's weird to me, because when I think of a collection, I think of it as a group. I feel like I'm suppose to like it, in its entirety. Not just 4-5 pieces. But anyway, I only LOVED three collections out of two days. Those three would be Dries Van Noten (Day 2), Damir Doma (Day 2) and Rochas (Day 2). Day 1 was kind of a bust for me :P Not much love for Day 1. Everything else was just bits n' pieces of fashion love. So far (I hope it gets better), Paris Fashion Week does NOT have me swinging from the chandeliers as Milan did. Are my expectations too high? They usually are for everything (that's me in general! I can be difficult, but that's only because I expect THE BEST out of everyone and everything. so readers, if you've been with me this long give yourself a super gold star, because many don't make it. when I like you, I like you. when I don't, you'll know it. I'm persnickety as they come :) I seriously digress here.). Is the best yet to come of Paris Fashion Week? I hope so! My picks are below. I'm not really impressed with Day 1, now looking at it. Tomorrow, I'm taking you to the ballet. We all need a reprieve. ***My favorites from Day 3 & 4 of Paris Fashion Week will be posted Saturday.***
