This is what the “hospital” has done for me as well.

Hell yes to Sister Wolf for always dropping the loudest and chicest of truth bombs (since elegance is refusal and all?).

Yeesh…that jumpsuit is like a bellydancing car salesman but more boring. There is nothing lower in fashion than flipping thrift store castoffs for the price of a college kid’s day’s paycheck when you’re a slumming millionaire, but without the practice Marc Jacobs would be working at Loehmann’s. Kellie has a ‘mayjah’ point. Sea and Mom seem to think that ugliness= eccentricism. Sure, it’s like Serge Gainsbourgh said “ugliness is in a way superior to beauty because it lasts.” But then again, he’s dead.

I have that first shirt or something very similar. I’m not even kidding I bought it at Big 5. Mom of shoe peddler site has awful clothes for sale. It reminds me of shopping at thrift stores in LA 20 years ago when everything got all picked over because that’s when the vintage stores started striking up back door deals with the places.

People often mistake ” vintage ” for “relevant”.
There are many old things that are VINTAGE, but are not fashion or relevant.
And probably werent in their day either.
See 1960’s bridesmaid dresses as an example…

I’m sorry – “feels like wool”?? That is high on drugs – I mean shoes – I mean seventies leopard buckle belts.

I completely can empathize with this post, when you say that at times like these fashion is the LAST thing on your mind, and it’s a brief eye opener, as to how mindless fashion can be..
When going thru hard times (specially health related -me/loved ones- I remember browsing blogs thinking “Wow, I need those sequin leggings”… And then it all just seems so pointless.

Who cares about what celebs are wearing or what’s trendy. Specially when there’s other more important things going on.
Hang in there. And prayers your way.

The fraggle-haired, misguided young thing above is Dree Hemingway, great-granddaughter of Ernest.

She is an example of nepotism at its most egregious, because she can barely string a coherent sentence together, and yet is never mentioned in a sentence without her poor (I assume embarrassed, while he’s up there in heaven) great gramps.
