is it fashion forward or backwards?
So I keep seeing on TV, in magazines, on the news, etc. the current fashions. Celebs who really ought to know better are wearing them, teenagers are wearingt them, everyday people are wearing them. You all know what I'm talking about, the Skinny Jean. Now when I was in junior high school the fashion was very similar. We has very skinny, tapered ankle jeans with lots of stretch built in. With and without the very cool zippers at the ankles. Now I happen to go through a well known department store last weekend and what did I see? Skinny Jeans with ankle zips! I couldn't believe it. I loved the ankle zip skinny style jeans, when I was in junior high!!! But now, I'm a full grown woman, a mother of almost three, and there is no way I will ever wear a skinny jean. In junior high, A) I didn't know better and B) I was so skinny I was built like a boy with no curves and no hips. So I could get away with it. But goodness, now? People would fall in the streets laughing! It's such a terrible fashion to have brought back. I don't care who you are or what your shape. The Skinny Jean does absolutely nothing for you. If you are thin, it just further shows how terribly skinny or underweight you really are. If you are anything other than rail thin, watch out. Your just asking for the smirks, eye rolls or out right laughter. Don't believe me? Go to your local mall, find a good place to people watch and watch. See how many people go by in the Skinny Jean and then add up how many can actually pull it off. I bet you donuts (yummmm) to dollars you'll find less than half a handful. Anyhow, that's all I have for now!
