Not so trendy

So I know that I have never been the fashion guru in our family. I have always left that up to Cristi. But today I went to the mall for lunch to grab a soft pretzel and a smoothie (I know healthy lunch right?) and as me and my lunch buddy at work sat and ate our delicious and oh so fattening soft pretzels we were able to do some people watching. I have always enjoyed doing this but now I find this to be extra enjoyable! The whole idea that they are bringing back things that should have been locked in a safe covered in a large cement block along with the key and buried somewhere that there is no way you would be able to find it again, I find it amazing that people go out in public in these things. Now before I go on let me say I mean no offense to any one who may read this that is trendy and does in fact wear the things I am about to explain I just don't understand it. So picture this, I am standing in line at Pretzel Time waiting anxiously for the two girls behind the counter to get to us and so naturally we look around. Down the hallway there is a lady in probably her early 30's MAYBE her late 20's wearing black leggings, a black sweater that is barely long enough to cover her rear end and black high heals. Now I am a fan of wearing black but even I think this is a little over the top. Then a few minutes later there is another lady probably in the same age group that is wearing purple leggins with a little bootie black skirt over top with I forget what color of shirt on with a little black vesty jacket thing over top of that with again black heals on. Now to the guys outfits! What is with skinny jeans!!! What is worse than that; Skinny Jeans with a tight and too small white t-shirt with there hair done to what looks like they got in an argument with a razor in the dark and then while they were fighting with this razor they fell into a bunch of different colors of hair dye!! And this is supposed to be attractive??
Maybe I am getting old. But I just don't get it.
Confused and laughing about it,
Lindsey

I soooo agree! I have yet to see the legging thing in full swing out here in the midwest... but the skinny jean guy thing is out of control... and haven't you noticed that it is all SMALL guys doing it? like they have no body at all in those horrible cut of jeans wear! I appreciate that John shows off his stuff in classic boot cut jeans and a nice slighlty tight shirt. GO COWBOYS!

Okay Lindsey....I TOTALLY understand what you are saying....those skinny jeans? Ewww...gross. And I swear they buy them from the girl section. All I know, is you definately won't be finding me in anything that butt hugging or thigh choking. Ugh!
