Armand Basi under Fashion Police arrest again: sequined balloon trousers and mesh panel cardi

OK, readers: we know we can't agree on everything, but can we at least agree that the words "sequined" and "balloon trousers" should never appear in the same item description, ever? Actually, come to think of it, can we agree that the words "balloon" and "trousers" should never appear together?
While we're at it, can we also agree that this cardigan:

should probably not be worn with the aforementioned balloon trousers, unless you want to look like some kind of performance artist. Like maybe a mime or something. (No offence to any performance artists reading this.)
OK, good. Now could someone please tell Armand Basi about what we've agreed?

Who wears outfits like this?
Oh wait, I can see Agyness Deyn or Lady Gaga stepping out in this. Or maybe Rihanna. But should they? No.
And I thought that the puff ball shorts was going to be the worst thing I saw today.
Lets face it, the Fashion Police will have to build a brand new wing just for Armand Basi.
How many times have I had one hot arm and one cold arm and just wished there was a cardigan out there to suit my needs.
I like the pants.
And I like the cardigan.
Together? Not so sure.
