So, anyone else out there totally hating current fashion? It's like this weird combination of 30s/40s/80s, and designed to make you look like a pregnant stick. It baffles me. If some people want to dress that way rock out, but I hate that everyone always jumps on the bandwagon and we have no options. Diversity people! Why would anyone buy your

The nice thing about the 30s/40s part of that is that everyone looks good in shirtwaists. :)

I usually hit up H&M and look for individual pieces. Right now the trends are awful, so there's a lot of separating the wheat from the chaff. But sometimes you find some real gems.

Not everyone kiddo. They're one of those styles you need a bust for. And yes, some people's boobs fit in demi bras. ;P In general I don't like that era because I don't like the wide shoulder look.
H&M's pretty good in general. I remember I wanted to hate that store when it came, but no, the clothes rock too much. I'm trying to just get ethical/eco clothing now though. Hard to do with low funds, it's still not a big enough market to be cheap (especially with those damn cotton subsidies).

I'm so in love with current fashion of long shirts and tighter pants, but this is how I've always dressed. There's a running household joke that I'm always three years ahead of latest fashions. But I'm a really long person, long legs, long torso, long arms and it just looks good on me.

Currently, though, I am a pregnant stick, so it's nice to be able to buy clothes I'll be able to wear later. Haha! Suckers!

I'm a thrift shop girl too--and I love making my own clothes out of stuff I find in a thrift shop. What about snagging yourself a sewing machine and going at it? It's an expensive hobby to start, but once you get good at it, it really isn't more of a tax on the budget that clothes shopping is.

Well see there ya go. They should always have a few designers and stores with this kind of clothes, and they should always have a few with my kind of clothes, and so on. I'm long everything too, but that's exactly why I don't like this trend, I don't need to make my torso look any longer than it already is. I feel gangly enough as it is. I'm kind of liking the long shirts because then you're not showing belly, but the reason you'd be showing belly otherwise is the fucking lowrise trend - you can't get non-ass-showing jeans anymore without buying old lady jeans. :( I hate fashion, we should be able to just wear what we like all the time.

Did you ever do that thing in high school where you'd wear something that wasn't currently fashionable and people would mock you, and then a year later they'd be wearing the exact same thing they'd mocked on you? Good times.
