I love going back onto the undergrad campus and people watching. Although it makes me feel old (dear god I'll be 25 next month), undergrads are some serious entertainment. The younger the better (that's what she said). I walked by 14 girls before I saw someone with normal clothes on! The first 14 people, and probably the 14 after that one sane girl, had either leggings, sweats, or jeans tucked into Uggs or Ugg knockoffs. There is one thing I hate more than uggs tucked into leg-wear of some sort...and that is crocks. deciding between the lesser of the two evils, I'll take Uggs. How is that a cute look? How is that style? What the hell kind of message are you trying to say? I venture to say that it's something along the lines of, "like....I mean, everyone else wears them and like, i don't wanna feel left out. Plus they're like super expensive and i want people to think that I'm rich. Plus like the basketball team's girlfriends wear them so they've like got to be cool." Gag. Me. As an ex-girlfriend of a member of the basketball team, I did not and will not own Uggs.
sheep.
This is not saying that I haven't fallen victim to a heinous trend to be part of the group. I'm prone to fashion failure as well....doesn't stop me from judging others ;) BUT.... I never wore my jean skirt with my leggings and my Uggs. I never "bared my midriff." In public. I current do not wear skinny jeans.
Skinny jeans - don't get me started. I mean really, it just comes down to me being jealous of the people who can pull them off. And if you can (i.e. you're over 5'7 AND under 120lb) I give you snaps.** And yes....you can see right through me like I've bathed in windex: jealous. Alas, I am not such a woman. But too often they are worn by people who have NO business being near them. They're "skinny" jeans for a reason. Those damn things should have a weight limit on the tag! Like a warning label. WARNING: unless you're over 5'7 AND under 120 lb these will make you look squatty and bring attention to your bottom. And Lindsey Wehmeyer will judge you. - Let me make a minor amendment: If you are shorter than 5'7 and are finding my requirements for tight pants too stringent, I'll reserve judgment for skinny, short people that miraculously don't look like midgets in skinny jeans. That makes me even more jealous actually because I can't help my height (I blame KellBell) but I could help my weight (I blame wine). So good for you! Congrats! I'll try not to hate you. try.
