I feel like Jeanne might about now be spinning in her grave, may she R.I.P. I see nothing left of her dreams and vision represented in the line of clothing today. Gone are all of the cute embroidered shirts and tops, the pretty little embroidered and decorated little seasonal scenes, etc. Also the often cute little imprint on the back shoulder or bottom of the garment for interest.
What took place this morning was a parade of what looked like the explosion of the 4th of July fireworks gone awry. I have never seen so many outfits overloaded with glitter, sparkle, rhinestones out of the keester, any shiny object that could be sewn , glued, or tacked on.
Sadly, not just a small amount to showcase a picture, idea or theme, but an overwhelming amount of gaudy sparkle and shine everywhere, coming or going! Every single outfit modeled was aglow. I couldn't help but think that even those who like this and buy it certainly wouldn't want an entire closet of these things, would they ??? So if QF doesn't offer alternative items, they are obviously setting themselves up for fewer sales. I can't imagine opening up my closet before several cups of coffee and having the equivalent of the aurora borealis emanating from my coat hangers every morning upon opening my closet doors to determine my clothing for the day.
I just don't think Jeanne would have gone in this direction. I know that Angel doesn't design the clothes herself, but does work very tightly with the design team and Nancy (isn't that her name, I forgot?) and I'm sure that Angel's input is strongly the reason these clothes are taking on this look. She seems to be very pleased with it as she discusses the ways and reasons of these various looks. This morning they brought out some new solid colored leggings, and before I looked up I thought, well perhaps I might enjoy those.
I should have known better, because every pair had a solid line down the side of the legs of rhinestones !! On leggings !! On both sides !! Mind you, these were not the more formal type of Hollywood-style Tuxedo looking leggings, but the kind you might wear with sweatshirts !!
Everything that came out after that was a'glitter and a'glow. Alot !
If you bought more than one or two pieces per season your closet would look like Santa's workshop at Christmas !
I feel like I could get more dressy casual or sophisticated clothes at Wal-Mart these days.
Needless to say, I'm no longer purchasing QF, and I do miss Jeanne's inspirations.
I also don't think it bode well for Angel to be sitting there eating sweet rolls and cinnamon buns, etc. while the host did not. Perhaps if she must dine at the table, it would help America better if she ate a healthier fare.
She also spent a little too much time trying to teach the host and models how to perfect her karate kick. Why is that necessary to show that the clothes expand? Arm movements have nothing to do with pants, Angel.
Compared to other vendors, I just don't think Angel has the je ne sais quoi to do this line justice for those who live in residential homes.
I do not dislike her, and I do think she is kind and friendly. I just don't think a clothing line is her niche.
Finished my paperwork and got up and located my remote from another room. Believe I just watched my last QF show.
Blessings.
