Fashion Sense?
Jennifer, a policy girl that graduated last year, was completely addicted to Vogue. I don't understand.
To put it simply: me and good ol' Abercrombie and Fitch don't get along.
In fact, there are stores which I refuse to waste my time in because it's ridiculous. In Anchor Blue today, I stood aloof, fingering objects (because I am addicted to touching fabrics to see if I can find soft ones) and nearly panicked when my sister had roamed elsewhere. I would have been horrified if one of my friends had walked in. The moment Natalie had picked out her tank tops and paid, I hurried out. Rue 21 has always been a great place for me for jeans. And some funny shirts. Problem: I hate designers.
Why do all designers in 'teen' stores think we want sexual induendos and racist or sexist sayings on our shirts? I don't think I need a shirt that says "YES...they're real." or "BLONDES DO IT BETTER" or "I LOVE LATINOS."
What happened to.... trying to make the whole.... prejudice thing fade out from society?
Furthermore, I do not understand the need to have that 'broken in' feeling. I can break in my own jeans, thank-you-very-much. This is what astounds me: pre-made holes and yes.... oh, yes..... even paint splatters. If I want paint splattered all over my jeans, I'll just wear them while I paint. Maybe it's just my upbringing... the whole "Change into something you don't like before you paint" drilled into me, but paint doesn't really make a pair of jeans more appealing. Guess what? I have never seen a girl at my school wearing paint splattered jeans unless they had just painted their room and that was the cleanest pair of jeans. Which is why it was on the 30% off rack.
Have you ever noticed (especially at stores like Wal-Mart and K-Mart) that all the plus sizes are BRIGHT? Find that at all odd? Why buy merchandise that you know will end up on the clearance racks?
I love Hot Topic. You wanna know why? Few pastels, few sexual inuendos, few idiots in there discussing some idiotic 'teenage' topic, no oldies music, no 'Hey look, we're fashionable' crap. I don't want to stand out. I simply don't want to wear some pink, frilly, low necked shirt that makes me an object. Honestly, I wouldn't wear as much black if it weren't for stores today. I have to go to the opposite extreme to get away from the crap that I hate.
So.... no, to the average person, I have no fashion sense. I don't coordinate my shoes with my clothes. The biggest rule I have is no wearing white socks with black pants. Brown with black? Fine, no biggy, they're both somewhat alike, no worries. My mom can't wear black socks with her brown pants. I find it kinda funny.

Dude, i totally agree....
ANd coming from a "plus-size" body, those bright bold colors are not the only thing obnoxious. ( and Imnot saying all big people clothes should be boring and colorless ok?)
The other thing obnoxious ismaking those stupid skinny too tight tshirts in a big size..how stupid.
and the last thing? horizontal stripes........
