Fantasy Friday: Are you KIDDING ME?!?!

Clothes can be expensive, I think we all know and realize this. Sometimes you want to spend more to get quality, or maybe just a name brand that you really like. Other times it maybe because a piece of clothing may fit very well and it's worth the extra money.

When clothes are expensive I assume that they are not only great quality but stylish. This my friends is a falsehood. It's one thing to be over the top couture and be expensive but is an entirely different thing to be over the top and have just plain ugly ridiculous clothing, which leads me to my main topic, are you kidding me?

Onward:

Why? Why was this ever made? Who thought, "Let's make a gold jumpsuit!" Last time I checked it isn't 1975 and no one in their right mind would be caught dead wearing this, maybe a grandma from Florida OR a 21 year old club hopping. The fact that those are the only two people that may be wearing this should be enough of a warning sign that this should have never been made...ever. If gold's not your color it comes in silver too.
I can see where they were going with this shirt, it really could have been cute 3 yards of fabric ago. Did someone lose their scissors and just say "heck with it, we'll improvise" this is so, so, wrong. First I think it may have only five buttons that button only in the middle, which is just silly and weird. The collar reminds me of those wannabe abercrombie frat boys. The sleeves remind me of Stevie Nicks. And the length reminds me of maternity. How did this get put into mass production? And for $39!! For this ugly shirt, $39!!

I'm sorry, what is really going on here? Is this a shirt for the yacht club cougar, or what? I think, I THINK, I'm not sure, but I think that this is pure crochet, no lining. I know, you just threw up a little. I can only picture a 50 year old cougar wearing this, or Kathy Hilton. Either way if you ever see someone wearing this your eyes may burn out of their sockets.

When did it start to be cool to look like a grandma? Seriously, you're selling this to people my age? If I saw a grandma wearing this I'd be like, Ahh cute grandma. If I saw someone my age wearing this I would say, Ahh, she can't wait to be a grandma.

I laughed out loud when I saw these. There is such thing as taking a trend to an extreme. This is the extreme. No one, I repeat no one looks good in acid/stonewashed wide leg jeans.

Who wears something like this in real life? Seriously. I get that she's a Victoria Secret model, but I don't think she would actually wear this (unless she was paid to, which she is). Who wears this, no really, who? Oh this is a sad, sad, day for fashion.

I think fringe was cool before I was born. Enough said.

Yikes, everything about this is yikes. Oh! the lacey details on the arms and collar and on the bottom, barf. It's just so hideous. The puffy sleeve, what is this Little House on the Prairie? Oh it's just horrid, and what's with the insane cleavage?

I know tears came out of my eyes when I saw this skirt, I don't remember if it was laughing or crying. Why? Why? I could maybe understand if it was 1993 but it's not 1993 it's 2008. I just don't understand how they made this and people bought it. Please, if you own this throw it away, don't even give it to Goodwill, throw it, first cut it in shreds so no one else even has a chance to wear it and then throw it away.

The moral of the story is one day we will probably all have more money than we do now, let's not let it go to our heads. Let's remember what true fashion is all about and that classics are always the first choice over trends. Let's not become the "crazy lady from Florida" or the "cougar at a yacht club" just because we have money to spend. Happy Weekend.
