How we dress is something that is extremely important but seams to be forgotten by many people in this generation. Our parents and grandparents and great grandparents gave us decades of well dressed people and classy people. (We'll forgive them for disco) And what has our generation contributed to fashion?
 * jeggins
 * inspire t-shirts
 * flanel
 * tubeskirts/other bad spandex clothing
 * wearing pj's out in public
 * over sized clothes (if your small I understand)
 * tights as pants
 * owls
 * hobo/druggy native american jackets
 * crocs
 * Celebrity clothing lines
 * acid wash jeans
 * and black or horizontal lines, if you can't make it good ad black or horizontal lines

It's kind of sad really how badly dressed so many people are today, and worse how they are ok with it! How caring about your looks makes you bane and not caring makes you "cool". How top fashion brands are looked down upon because they don't let people express their individuality, but come and tell me how wearing Dolce and Gabbanas red pepper dress isn't creative but wearing a t-shirt with a peace sign and a striped skirt is? And how many teenager know how to sew? Not many. People dress poorly because it's cheap and they don't care how they look and that really dissapoints me. People tend to dress how they feel and what do today's trends say about how people feel? What happened old Hollywood glamor or being boho chig like Twiggy. I don't know about other people but I feel more like myself when I am wearing an romantic dress or gown. And I feel pretty awkward wearing pants(unless they're colorful). But I don't know, maybe because nowadays everything is revolved around sex people dress badly and don't care because s they have a good body they can get into a relationship. And the most fashionable things to wear now are old clothes from the thrift store because we can't come up with our own good fashion. Maybe I should just accept that I am surrounded by people that all look the same and keep on living in my tiny fantasy world of lace and swarovski crystals.
