Well, Toby, clothes cost money, and I refuse to spend it on something that I think is ugly. If the clothing companies wouldn't go off on an ugly tangent every few years, we wouldn't have a problem. This year the new clothes are VERY ugly.
Are men designing these clothes, do you think? If so, they must hate women.
Here's a new style we saw a LOT of Saturday night in Augusta, mostly worn by young women in their 20's and 30's.
Picture opaque white stocking cut off at the knees (only they aren't cut - they're made that way). Over that go some pretty ratting looking jeans, typically with sequins. Bulky belt.
Some kind of tight tee shirt hanging down. On top of the tee shirt is some kind of short sweater -- midriff length. Stiletto heels.
Now this sounds like it would be worn by tarts, right? But it's mainstream mom's in their 30's getting out of their Lexus SVU's. Saturday night I felt like I stepped into another world.
When I described that outfit, I should have been more clear.
The opaque stockings to to mid-calf. The jeans end just below the knees.
