I saw alot of ugly stuff in Ireland. I remember a conversation where this guy from New Jersey told me, I think I need to raise my standard of ugly just to make it thru my trip. I agreed. As did the rest.
I saw knee high boots *over* pants. I saw I wanna be a glittery balleriana but not really shoes. Hoop earrings bigger than I've seen on any hooker. Big fake colored gaudy jewlery that my boyfriends 90 year old grandma got for christmas and loved. I saw 80s. Lots of 80s. I thought it was a universal agreement that although we can't make the 80s go away, it was promised on that it would never occur again. And worst of all. Even worse than when I saw the two girls walking down the street. One in an oversized red and white stiped sweater over red spadex with red heals and no socks with a three inch headband on and her friend wearing something equally as ugly. I saw a cumberbund. A cumberbund, people. Over a swearter.
What the fuck is wrong with you people. At first I thought, well maybe I'm just too conservative. Maybe just because I think all this stuff is blindingly ugly that obviously somebody likes it, yet I asked. I asked some british women and every american I met felt the same way. Gouge my eyes out. So tell me? Tell me.
And I know this is the perfect place to ask as I know some of you wear this god awful hideous nasty revolting shit. Absolute shit. And yes, I wear jeans and a t-shirt, feel free to tell me I'm an ugly scrub, I've heard it all from you people here before, but guess what, I dont wear a mans tuxedo piece over a sweater that my mom used to own.
Who out there prays to any available god that this way that people are dressing will be gone as quick as it came? About a month.

Can't argue with that!
The "homeless" look that's around at the moment is both hilarious and disturbing. I have to laugh (or I'll cry) when I see things on ebay etc with the strap line "hobo-look"... does that actually sell stuff to people?
People who, funnily enough, who would cross the road to ignore a "hobo" (that they're aspiring to look like) while pinching their nose.
I don't mind "fashion", trends or whatever - but I can't stand it when people follow it blindly...regardless or whether it suits them and/or looks fucking ridiculous.
I remember that pic you posted of yourself wearing that top. Still bitter about it?
They say Americans don't understand irony.

The people that wear all black because they're 'being original' are the worst!
People might wear those fashions because they like them perhaps? Or because half the time there isn't much else in the shops.
not that i wear boots over jeans. i save my boots for when im wearing a skirt.
personal preference.
but it doesn't mean they're all mindless, some people look good in high street fashion, some don't. Though i will say this.....only wear skinny jeans if you have the legs.... :yuck:
:yes:
if you like something, and it suits you, wear it. this will be easier if it's in fashion, cause there'll be loads about. it's fair enough.
but just because they sell it in topshop does not mean it will definitely look good on you. for god's sake, look in a mirror before buying.

Sorted forever.
No offense to anyone but I think a lot of it is ugly and ridiculous looking.
I'd rather stick with "boring" jeans and t-shirts anyday.
They're clothes, it's fashion. You are not going to like everything that's out there. They think they look good - fair dues! They're happy. They might look dumb, but they're happy and confident. Yay for happy people, I say!
And I happen to think there are a lot of fashionable people here, thank you very much. *sniff*
People over this side of the Atlantic ARE conservative compared to those lot...
OMG THEY WEAR TRIPOD! EEVVVILLL!!!!!11!1one!
Yes, some people here are conservative compared. But some people here wear so mcuh worse stuff compared
Id much rather see people being imaginative. Im not particularly adventurous when it comes to my own clothes anymore, but i used to be a lot more so, and I think its nice when people actually make an effort, expecially if they look a bit different.
