I guess I was never into this craze in the first place, but I am over it more that I ever have been. On my usual downtown walk to the bars Saturday night, I saw the typical Midwestern university treasure trove of ghastly fashion. But this time, I overlooked the sea of snow-stained Ugg boots and pink Hollister tees to an even greater annoyance. Tank tops/dresses worn on top of tee shirts takes the biggest slice of bad fashion cake. It doesn’t make sense aesthetically or functionally. If you think your tank top is too revealing to wear in public, then you should never have purchased it. And if you still insist on showing it off at the frat house, why not wear a nice blazer or cropped jacket over top? Is your dingy, pit-stained t-shirt really the best alternative? It looks bulky, busy and childish. The look is fine for toddlers in the sandbox, but as for anyone older than five, just grow up.
I stole my first pair of platforms from the Spice Bus in 1997 when Anglophilia was all the rage. Collector of vintage bags, vinyl and kitchen appliances. My dream of becoming a butcher is momentarily on hiatus so I can teach you how to wear muumuus and apply false eyelashes. Follow me on Twitter @CrystlMeatballs.
