Middle school: "capri pants are so not going to last more than a season, right Becky?" Becky and I guessed wrong.
High school: "Oh my gosh, does Mandy have on tube socks and go-go shorts? Did I go to sleep and wake up in a bad episode of Three's Company?" It became a norm for a season at good ol' BHS.
College: "Is it me girls, or is everyone starting to look like a Golf pros/tennis hoes party ALL the time?" (I love J. Crew as much as the next girl, but I'm just sayin)
Presently: I hope that girls and boys stop shopping in each other's departments so much. I don't cherish the thought of my boyfriend picking me up for a night out and we're wearing the same jeans...and possibly eyeliner... The saggy- butt and skinny jeans that don't fit over your HUGE skater punk shoes isn't workin for me fellas. Anyhow, C'est la vie. That's life and I do appreciate everyone's personal style, it makes the world much more interesting and colorful!
What was I going to write about...Oh yes! SPRING!
It figures that I decide to exercise restraint and give up shopping for Lent. Because NOW all the spring goodies decide to make an appearance in stores across the land and I am giddy and tortured simultaneously. Just a tad bit of shopping on line couldn't hurt, right? I mean, it is really a blog assignment. :)

Now I just need a vacation so I have an excuse to pack a suitcase full of color:)
I love your idea of spring fever, I love color, and I myself cannot wait to pack for a little spring get-away( Sugarland Texas here we come!!) I love the pink Prada bag you posted as much as my brown Prada as it's counter part!! what great taste you have indeed!! Love you, and Happy Spring!!, Mom
ReplyDeletehehe - you can tell we're from the same strain of blood, but different varieties! We're both super excited about spring rollout - but whereas you love the color - i love the colorless winter garb that's all on clearance! woooo!!! (wait . . . does that make me sound tacky? what am i saying? of COURSE I'm not tacky!)
ReplyDeleteon fashion:
ReplyDeleteCapri pants, i think, look best when done in the retro style, like Audrey Hepburn and Mary Tyler Moore circa the Dick Van Dyke Show. Even though they cover up more of your legs than shorts, you still should have some decent ankles. What happened to gauchos?
I'm a huge fan of the go-go shorts and tube socks. Don't know why, but the word "kickie" comes to mind, and that just makes me kind of happy. Again with the good legs, just moreso. I also think thigh high stockings(/socks?) are ultra hot.
Tennis land - no idea... we're the same age, but i think Minnesota missed that trend.
Boys and girls in opposite land: Okay maybe you're a skinny boy, but where do you put the penis? Wear clothes that fit.
I wish boys had more clothing options like girls did, but we dont (without looking foreign or really gay), and I'm fine with that. I'm not about to cross clothing departments into your section.
