In many respects, I feel like I could Photoshop a septuagenarian’s head onto this and you’d be like, “Yeah, all right, looks feasible.”

First off: check out JanJo’s hair over there in the background on the right. It’s like…an architectural marvel, but not in the good way. In fact, Maggie G is sandwiched by crazy hair, because there’s Cassie and the bald side of her head, on the left. Also, I can’t help but wonder — a la Carrie Bradshaw — how many times a day that dude right over Maggie’s shoulder gets called “Goose,” or “Doctor Green.” Am I avoiding looking at Mags? YOU BET I AM:
Sigh. I know this year’s theme was something like, “American Women: Blah Blah Blah Something I’m 90% Sure I Wrote A Paper About In College Once” but I don’t know if that means you’re REQUIRED to show up looking like you just rolled off the stage coach. Like, LITERALLY.
So, when I downloaded this, I was all like, “oy! Maggie G DOES IT AGAIN:”
But that was in part because I thought what turns out to be a cardigan was actually ATTACHED to the dress. That would have been…a situation. But as a cardigan, I think it’s cute. Actually, I think I might own that cardigan (who knows WHAT I’ve got in my closet. Seriously. Talk about a situation). And the dress is ALSO actually kind of cute. And now that I’ve looked at them together for like an hour, I don’t know if I dislike it at all. It’s just that the first glance was kind of a shock. And then it grew on me. Like a highly patterned fungus.
Well, something isn’t quite right with this:
I kind of like that top, but as I once shrieked to my sister Elizabeth in the dressing room of a Forever 21, “YOU CAN’T BELT EVERYTHING!!!!!” Not to mention the fact that I’m pretty sure that’s a seat belt. My suspicion is that this is a top that needs to be tucked into something — like a high-waisted pencil skirt — but probably not into those jeans. Now, listen: I LOVE jeans. I wear them nearly every day (it’s nice to work at home. And in Los Angeles, where jeans are essentially the uniform). But those casual jeans, plus those beat up brogues, means that from the waist down, ol’ Maggie looks like she’s on her way to the Home Depot to pick up some fencing and a new jug of Ortho Weed B-Gon. Can this marriage (of separates) be saved? Please weigh in, Fug Nation.
@maracaseyshoots @TriciaOKelley OMG so cute! Hope he turns up soon!

First and foremost, I like Maggie G’s short bob:
I like it so much that I sort of want it, despite knowing that I don’t have the wavy hair to pull it off, and I know I don’t like how I look with hair that length. What is it about the human condition that tempts us to do things to our hair that we KNOW we’re not going to like when we’ve done it? I suppose it must be boredom.
About the rest of her ensemble: I think I like it. I’m not wholly enamored of the shoe choice, but I GET IT and I think it supports her overall look, you know? She’s kind of that quirky bohemian type, anyway, and she looks summery and casual without being sloppy.
But there was another look spied at this event that I wholeheartedly support and indeed wish everyone else would emulate:
