Aaaaaah, welcome April. The showers are much better than snow, so I\u2019ll keep my complaining to a minimum. After all, May flowers are right around the corner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Thank you for indulging me last week during the midst of my existential crisis. I think it\u2019s healthy to have one of those every once in a while. It helps to put life in perspective.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">I love to write about fashion and that subject is the origin of this column, afterall. But, occasionally I like to switch it up. In fact, although my monthly Super Six is already overdue, I was itching to write about the Tristan Thompson \/ Khloe Kardashian debacle. To summarize my thoughts, it was basically a tirade about how a leopard doesn\u2019t change its spots\u2026.unless the leopard has invested in A LOT of therapy. But, I also found some pretty cool things from my internet research that I wanted to share. Soooooooo, I opted to take the high road and leave the celebrity gossip for the tabloids.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Without further ado, here is my April Super Six:<a href=\"http:\/\/kennetttimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/April-Super-Six-2018-1-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6960\" src=\"http:\/\/kennetttimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/April-Super-Six-2018-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li6\"><b>New Vintage Handbags (price varies according to item) &#8211; <\/b>OK, this may be one of the coolest ideas I have seen in a long time. Bring your old handbags back to life by adding custom artwork, new straps, and decorative elements (like fringe)! Visit the website at<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newvintagehandbags.com\/\"><span class=\"s3\"> www.newvintagehandbags.com<\/span> <\/a>to select a pre-made item or work with their design team to create something truly personal. Isn\u2019t that AMAZING? Love it.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li7\"><b>Nike Blazer Low SE ($85) &#8211; <\/b>My name is Kelly and I have a sneaker addiction. The problem is, I have no intention of addressing my issue. When I saw this light pink pair, my heart skipped a beat. I think they are the perfect shoe to carry you through the spring AND summer. Wear now with white jeans (YES! It\u2019s OK to wear white jeans- do not wait until after Memorial Day. That\u2019s an old wives tale) and later with distressed, denim shorts. SO cute and comfortable! Find them at Nordstrom here:<span class=\"s6\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2JJQOfe\"><span class=\"s7\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2JJQOfe<\/span><\/a><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/kennetttimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/April-Super-Six-2018-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6961\" src=\"http:\/\/kennetttimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/April-Super-Six-2018-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li10\"><b>Schitts<\/b><b> <\/b><b>Creek<\/b><b> <\/b><b>on<\/b><b> <\/b><b>POP<\/b><b> <\/b><b>TV<\/b><b> <\/b><b>(or<\/b><b> <\/b><b>NetFlix)<\/b><b> <\/b><b>&#8211;<\/b><b> <\/b>If you aren\u2019t watching Schitts Creek, you aren\u2019t really living. Trust me when I tell you that this may be the funniest TV show EVER. It is so witty and clever and heartwarming. I could go on and on and on. Watch it and then let me know your favorite character. (Those of you watching already, my pick is David).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li7\"><b>JCrew Tortoise Double-Hoop Earrings ($24.50) &#8211; <\/b>I am a sucker for a statement earring. But, I also appreciate the classics. This pick has a little bit of both, in my opinion. They are super lightweight and can be worn for hours. In other words, you don\u2019t have to sacrifice normal looking earlobes to wear them. Ladies, you know what I\u2019m saying.

I find them to be easier to throw on and infinitely more flattering. If you do not have a wrap dress in your closet, I suggest investing in one this season. It is a cut that is very slimming and forgiving. I love this black and white checkered print with the ruffle detail around the skirt. And, the price can\u2019t be beat.

It\u2019s a very popular website where you can rent a designer gown for a special occasion and mail it back when it is over. Brilliant, right? Well, some equally smart person decided to offer the same service to men. I decided to try it out for my son for the prom. It could not have been easier. You choose from a wide selection of styles, enter your measurements and shoe size, and they mail you everything you need two weeks before the event. You can opt to have a free, home try-on, too (we are expecting his tux on April 24th). That way, if you change your mind or something doesn\u2019t fit, you have plenty of time to make the necessary exchanges. The cost? $130. Yep. You read that correctly.
