I don't like to cook. But, I love the Food network. I could spend my Saturdays watching "Iron Chef America." (Can they really chop that fast? It's like NASCAR when they change the tires. Why can't they change my oil that fast?)
One of my fave Food network shows is, "Throwdown with Bobby Flay." On this culinary barn burner, Flay challenges chefs across the country to making their signature dishes.
The point of this blog? I'm issuing a fashion throwdown. The subject? Capri pants.
Here's the challenge: Join me in having a capri-free summer. Fashion gurus say there's not one body style these "pants" flatter. Not one. Zero. Zilch. Nada.
So, why do we have them in our closets? Regardless of our height, they hit us mid-calf and make our legs look wider.
I don't know about you but the last thing my "kankles" need is another 20 pounds. So, I've donated my capris to charity. Instead, I'm wearing skirts and dresses, which are just as easy to throw on, keep me just as cool AND don't accentuate my kankles.
Remember, just because it's in style, doesn't mean we wear it. So join me in saying goodbye to your capri pants and hello to longer, leaner lines. Your kankles will thank you for it.

Hi Kat,
Love your site. I came across it today when searching Google news for stories on shoes since I author a blog on comfy, stylish shoes. You have a nice selection of cute shoes in larger sizes. Good work.
I started donating my capris to charity this year too. Seems like your mentor Tim Gunn told at least one of his fashion victims advice similar to yours. Love my skirts & dresses. Makes me feel so Sex And The City-esque!
Just saw your blog about capris - I couldn't disagree with you more. I happen to look FABULOUS in capris, skimmers, whatever, and I'd rather see casually dressed women in those clothes instead of the shorts, sweatpants, etc., one usually sees in public. I don't think that even "fashionistas" should make generalizations about any one or any thing.
