Uberfluff

I cannot tell you how much I hate the current '80s fashion trend.  The neon colors, the leggings.  I mean leggings?  Again?  Have we not learned our lesson?  I can't help but wonder what is going through the mind of the people who design it.  Obviously, they must be younger than me, as no one who actually lived through silly poufy ruffles, giant shoulder pads, and neon leggings can be all that nostalgic for it.  I am constantly worried that I'm going to wander into an H&M and see the stirrup pants, bodysuit, and oversized sweater that I wore in my 5th grade class picture.


And lately, shopping the sale racks keeps turning up harem pants at 75% off.  No, I'm not surprised that they're on the clearance shelf.  Who, aside from fashion victims desperate to get another 12 seconds of exposure on E!'s C-list Celebrity Worship Show of the Day (ahem), wants to wear harem pants?  Yes, they look badass on Jasmine and other animated characters living in a fictional Middle Eastern setting.  But on an ordinary American woman who needs to pick up bread and milk on the way home from work, harem pants just say, "I have no sense of when fashion makes me look ridiculous."
