Oh I know! It happens every year... A girl in one of my classes was wearing a denim micro-mini yesterday, with flip-flops, and she looked freezing. I was wearing jeans, flats (with socks), a very thin shirt, a 3/4 sleeve thin cardigan, a small corduroy jacket, and one of those huge light scarves, and I was cold. Why? Because even though it's sunny out, it's still MARCH. In Connecticut. If you want to embrace spring, wear several light layers in pretty spring colors. Something that barely covers your butt cheeks is meant for July. And the funny thing is, I never see people wearing that stuff in the middle of the summer.

This is just a general COF I have been seeing recently, especially now that the weather has warmed up - REALLY short denim minis, like barely covers the ass. Not just worn to a club or out on the town kinda thing but worn to college classes. I've been seeing quite a few girls wearing skirts this short and while I wish I had better legs to flaunt in a skirt, I reall wonder about the logistics of actually sitting down in said skirt. How do you not give everyone a crotch shot or leave butt juice stains on the seat? Could someone please enlighten me here?
Polly - I really don't think we will get tired of your observations!! Yes please post more. |

about 95% of my co-workers are mexican, and i've noticed quite a few of them wearing hoodies or t-shirts that say "hecho en mexico" (which is spanish for "made in mexico"), and i always thought "damn, that's neat! i wish i had a cool 'made in somewhere cooler than mid-ag valley, california' hoodie". i just saw one in walmart. on a tall pasty white dude that was about as brown as casper. that's just wrong, yo.

Paul's Boutique is also indicative of this mentality: "oooh, I'm good at fashion, I'm going to ask Daddy to give me 5 grand to start a clothing label, than I'm gonna buy tat from charity shops and basically embroider shit over it saying things like 'Princess' or 'anti-social'. Then I will sell it to the daft kids for 70 quid a pop! In a way I guess you can't really knock these people. It's a high return for fuck all work or talent....

it's a brand of gaudy, over-priced and underdesigned clothing. basically, take nondescript denim miniskirt... and write "paul's boutique" in big letters across the ass in neon pink or blue. slap on a few unconnected badges/patches/pins, and there you go... they're everywhere over here in the uk.

Paul's Boutique? I'm sooo confused--is that anything other than a 1989 Beastie Boys album?
And I finally found an empire top that looks good on me. Woohoo! |

A Cosby sweater? Like one of those horrid Cliff Huxtable knitted efforts? I feel faint.
I don't care THAT much if someone's outfit sucks. OK, I actaully do. But I can live with it - if it's clean! Greasy chinos? That's just anti-social. The vomit is rising...... |

I'll back everyone else on the Topshop thing.... I think they started to get so much fawning fashion press attention for producing designer knock-offs that they now concentrate far too much on that, and also on throwing money at "hip" London designers who make hideous, unwearable crap (Christopher Kane and Gareth Pugh spring instantly to mind here). Funnily enough, the fashion press and Londoners themselves think London girls are oh-so-edgy and unique, but take a trip into the Topshop Oxford Circus store and every single woman in there, from 15-45, looks like yet another Kate Moss wanabee clone. This is particualrly disconcerting to me, since I think Kate Moss actually looks like a dog's dinner for the most part. Her "major fashion icon" status confounds the hell out of me. And you know that this Topshop range she's doing is going to wing it's way off the shelves faster than a bat out of hell, even if it looks (as I suspect it may) like total crap.

I do believe (and fully blame) that is the "Fergie-liscious" style ala Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas. She wears the shiny stuff and side braids. I work at a mall, I see it all the time. Eesssh. I don't get it.
