If you could change anything about todays fashion what would it be?

I really don't care about fashions. I don't know the latest trends and don't pay any attention to them. I will always wear whatever I feel like wearing. But I completely agree, fashions are out of control, or should I say the need to be fashoinable is out of control. The funny things is, no matter how fashion aware you are, no goofy trend in fashions can ever mask the real person inside. That is the only thing that counts with me. I like what I like and haven't a clue if anyone else likes it. One thiing from experience I have found is that the $75 sneakers do tend to last longer than the $20 pair. But I feel there should be an inbetween solution. One pair of $75 shoes is ok, but then before they even get partially worn, the kids have to have the next latest style for $100. That is where I draw the line.

I guess it's a sign that I'm getting old but I see some young people walking around and I wonder if they have mirrors in their home! Or for that matter don't they have mothers who say "you're not going out looking like that are you?" I think generally it would be good to do away with the notion that "less is more" - umm not necessarily when it comes to clothes it isn't! My "thing" is when I see girls wearing impossibly low-rise jeans and skimpy crop tops. It's such an unflattering look unless you are blessed with a figure that has not one ounce of surplus fat which most girls and women are not - and nor should they be for that matter! I've seen girls that really are not "fat" but look much heavier than they truly are because their outfits don't do anything for them. I also would like to do away with the growing trend of dressing little girls like grown women. I've seen children who are barely older than toddlers dressed like women in their late teens and twenties - you can buy thong underwear for six year olds for goodness sakes!! I find that sort of sexualisation of children very disturbing and irresponsible.

The baggy pants have to go. I feel like walking up behind them and pulling their pants up and fixing their belts. As far as the thongs showing on girls .. that's nothing new. Us girls at the trailer park have been doing that for years (joke)
