I have never been accused of being a fashionista, and that is okay with me. I grew up fashionably awkward and while I like to think that I sort of have a decent style under control now...I am LOST beyond lost with what is happening in these stores today.
Help me.
It started with this - an ad I saw in a magazine.
It made me dizzy. And not in a good way.
And then there was this...that I saw in another ad.
Help me.
And then Ryan and I saw this the day we were shopping for my Easter dress:
Help me.
And then this one...that just took the cake. I talked about it on Mid-Morning last week.
I don't understand.
Help me?
Because right now I look like this:

love the comment: I got lost after the ponytail...lol

AMEN! I didn't like this stuff back in the 80's and early 90's and I really don't like it now.
I guess the good news is that you can officially wear anything together and you'll be "stylish"? Forget needing the light on in the mornings....just roll out of bed, hairspray the heck out of your hair, in whatever shape it may be in, grab two or three or six pieces of clothing and put them on and....voila! Instant fashion!
Happy Tuesday!
Sarah - LOL!! Does this mean I'm old? That I only understand the ponytail?
Christina - AMEN!!!!! And you are right. Lynne said on MM the other day that this is the first time in fashion history that there aren't specific rules. It really is "anything goes." So I'm putting on my bathrobe and...oh wait. Nope. At work. Can't do that.
Bekah!!! I have made the same face while out shopping!!! What the heck IS this ???? UGLY ! JUST UGLY!!! Wanna run off to NYC and become fashion designers with me? Well....At least my budget for new clothes wont get damaged this spring!!! WHO will buy this stuff?

I find the originality of these outfits inspiring. It can be looked at as encouragement for people to be themselves and express themselves through fashion. Everyone wears clothing and it's a huge industry! The differences is what makes the world go around. The same way I can look at your (for example) clothing and think 'help me' because i don't understand how anyone can dress so typical and cookie cutter, is the same way you don't get these fashion looks.
Oh my goodness that first one is hideous. You are a fashion queen compared to that. The manican dressers need a fashion class.

MJ - I am certain I'd never make it as a fashion designer. I'm not out of the box enough!! But you always make me laugh! Big hugs to you!
Anonymous - I really am sorry if it offended you. I don't do posts like this very often because I don't like the Bits land to be a place where people feel bashed. Doesn't change that I don't understand (or like) most of what I see - and I am okay being boring in what I wear. Hope you'll still hang out here and not find too much clothing bashing on most days.
Odie - well thank you! I don't think i've ever been called a fashion queen before. I'll have to frame that! :)
Polly - :D
Oh Bekah I literally laughed out loud! I totally agree though! My husband and I were talking about this when shoppig for dress clothes for his grandmas funeral! I said I'm so glad I'm not in high school now because I defiantly was not a pencil and to wear some of those clothes you have to be!
Well I thought it was a funny blog entry. I dress boring as well, or I'm in scrubs. --molly
