Carrie Ann Inaba, Julianne Hough and Erin Andrews Fashion post for DWTS 21 Week 8

I’m tired of themes. When can we have a week of no themes? And we’re having 11 weeks this season, am I correct? So we’re back to a 4 person finale? Still hoping for a #RetroDWTS season. Or maybe not, they’ll figure out a way to mess with it and ruin it.

Moving on….

I liked Erin’s look this week, it was a little different for her, and she looked great in it. With her schedule over the weekend up to showtime, I can understand why her style team went the way they did. Her dress reminded me of that dress that was all over the internet a while ago, when some people saw it as white and gold, and others saw it as blue and black. Erin’s dress was definitely blue and black, but at times, it seemed to look completely black, and once I asked myself when she changed, before realizing that it was the lighting! Her fashion blog can be found over on People.

I also really liked Julianne’s look this week! They’ve been picking such great colors for her, I wish it would be something that she would take away from the ballroom. I’d LOVE to see Julianne in these vivid colors on red carpets or events outside of DWTS. Instead, it seems she has such great styles and colors on the show, but chooses blacks, whites and other neutrals and more daring styles… with an occasional color snuck in by her stylist. But THIS color was perfect! I’m just not sure about the shoes, but they did look comfortable! I’ll ask Vogue, would Erins’s shoes, in silver, have been a better match with Julianne’s dress? Julianne’s blog can be found over on InStyle.

And Carrie Ann’s blog is over at Parade, and she seems to have LIKED the Dance Off, and thought it successful and exciting. My thoughts on the Dance Off can be summed up as, “WHAAAAAAAA???????????” You will need to go the link and read the whole thing, I thought it was a good one. Now that we’re down to 6 couples, she spends time talking about each of them. And she says this, which I LOVED:

I’m never sure why certain groups of fans put a negative spin on things. It’s not necessary and almost seems to make matters worse. What you see and what you think—you become. When you want to see a certain outcome, or you want to think a judge is biased, you will make what you see fit your brain’s ideas. This is true for negative people. If you think the world is against you, you will find that the world is against you— even if it isn’t. I think fans need to stay on the positive side when you support someone. It is not support to bash someone else to raise another. I know this is a huge problem in the world today, but there is a solution. We all need to change the way we see things.

We’ve all seen a lot of hate and some terrible stuff on social media, and the last few weeks it seems to be getting worse, and I don’t think what Carrie Ann said is going to do anything to stop it. It’ll probably get much worse, I fear, before the end of the season.

So which one of these three would you crown this week as your favorite fashion icon? I really can’t pick, I like them all! Carrie Ann has the best neckline on her dress, Julianne has the best color, and Erin’s got the best shoes! Each outfit really seems to “fit” THEM!
