A Lotta Squawk

Fashion Rant – Jersey dresses & Empire Waists August 21, 2009

Filed under: Fashion, RANT!!! — Trixie @ 5:25 am

One of the cool things about this blog business is being about to rant about things that frankly, bug the shit of me.

As I get older…I find myself less and less a slave to fashion. What’s trendy DOES NOT MEAN IT LOOKS GOOD ON YOU!

Case in point: jersey and empire-waist dresses.  When, oh when will this trend be OVER? I am low-waisted and  empire waists make me pull on my dress like I’m deranged. I feel like I have a reverse wedgie. AND I have personally witnessed two women get asked if they were PREGNANT.  Getting asked if you are pregnant when you aren’t = AWKWARD.

Secondly – jersey dresses. I’m seeing high-end designers producing dresses at $200+ MADE OUT OF T-SHIRT MATERIAL!  Really?  No.

I’ll buy my jersey dresses at Target, thanks and …OH WAIT – that’s right. I’m done following trends. Heck – I still have sweatpants with elastic around the ankles (that’s right)….and they sit right where they belong. On my freakishly low waist.
