Another Fashion Violation

Now matter how many times I tell y'all that multiple trend combining is not a good idea, I still encounter folks on the way to work looking like a magazine ad gone bad. Apparently my readers are not spreading the word like they should cause folks are running around lookin a hot mess all over the place.

This unfortunate child on the subway today had an amalgam of cheap trendy bits like you've never seen and none of which you'd wanna be caught dead in. Let's start with her moccasins...yes I said moccasins. There was some sort of stitching on the toe, undoubtedly of the stupid fad variety. And then there was the studded purse, purchased from a street cart to be sure. Some multi-strand green glass necklace that I suppose was to be "jade," that was getting caught in her braided pig tales. Pig tales are the cutest things ever if you're at the beach or 5 years old. Braids and moccasins only go together for your school presentation of the first Thanksgiving. Now to top this all off, she was wearing large-frame white sunglasses with a 10 carat round rhinestone glued to each side.

First of all, people who wear sunglasses inside should be shot for being stupid. Celebrities and poorly-attired commuters alike. There is no sun in an underground tunnel you moron and if you're worried about people recognizing you then you shouldn't be dressing like a Canal Street Pocahontas in public. (*** this line is only funny if you know that Canal Street is the place in Manhattan where all the cheap knock-off handbags and accessories are sold illegally, and where most young people get their Louis Vouittons)

And so she's justa reading her paper thinking she's all cute and I just wanted to say to her, honey there is nothing remotely cute about looking like a wannabe pop star with bad shoes and unflattering hair. Just another of example about how you gotta give folks taste and show them how to use it, which is why I will continue to fight bad fashion via the Internet. So if you, dear readers, get a pig tale whim one day and don't know whether or not to step out your door just remember that unless you're heading to the beach, the gym, or to a costume contest you'd best go for the ponytail.
