Fashion
Do's And Dont's on E! TV - No
More Scrunchies
Funny, I
don't usually watch E! TV, and my
boyfriend watches it even less,
but when I went in to the living
room last night, to my
astonishment he was watching the
TOP 50 Fashion Do's and Don'ts.
The show
was well done, with some wry
humor here and there, and managed
to keep my interest. But I was
saddened by one of their fashion
don'ts -- the
schrunchie.
Now how am
I supposed to wear my hair when I
haven't washed it, or worse when
I haven't gotten a haircut in six
or seven months or
years?
As you may
have guessed, I'm no fashion guru
-- never have been.
There was a
time in my life when I went
barefoot and wore torn
bell-bottoms, but those were the
hippie days -- after the first
couple of years, I stopped
getting looks. In fact, at that
time I considered anyone who
followed fashion to be some sort
of brainwashed, bleating sheep --
I just couldn't understand it --
the worst perpetrators of this
'Simon says' mentality were the
quote unquote hippies themselves.
They were
supposedly going against the
status quo, but wouldn't be
caught dead with the 'wrong'
hairdo and they always sneered at
my makeshift purses too
(ahem).
Tip!
To make an impression in the
fashion world, you need to dress
to impress!!
That being
said, in my older, now wiser
years, I have come to understand
the desire for fashion and I
appreciate it, especially if it
is packaged elegantly.
But I still
don't have the time or money to
dress well. I told you how I
dressed in the 60's but, I have
to confess, you'd do a
double-take at some of my outfits
even now, in fact, especially
now. Sometimes I will be in a
store, and it is only after I've
gotten a couple of odd looks that
I realize I'm wearing those
really comfortable 'khakis' that
land right above my ankle, with
my socks showing and my really
old and very puffy sneakers that
make my feet look yet another
couple sizes bigger than the 9's
they are, poking out
grandly.
I would
have made a great guy. I really
don't care when people look at
me, starting at my feet and
traveling incredulously up to see
whose face wears these clothes.
They always
avert their eyes if they notice
me catch them; and it's kind of
funny watching them trying not to
laugh, especially if they have a
cohort nearby. I think it might
have upset me when I was younger,
though I'd have brushed it off by
exclaiming how rude, how arrogant
and how snobbish of them.
Now I laugh
and make a note to tell my
sisters next time I wear these
pants to their house that I wore
them out to the store.
