I do recall how, way back when in High School, if you didn't wear the latest, coolest stuff you might as well stay in bed and not show up at all. To wear fashionable gear meant you got it, you had style, you made a statement, even if the statement was to wear the exact opposite. I recall how at times it was absolutely unthinkable NOT to wear something must-have, and equally unthinkable to wear something uncool.
Fast-forward to now. Fashions annoy the hell out of me. They come and go. Their main purpose seems to be to make you think what you bought last year was old and stupid and you need, must, buy new stuff. And that's why there are fashion extremes. The more extreme a fashion, the more dated it'll look when the pendulum swings the other side. Grr.
Another thing I resent is that if there's something I really like, love, adore, it's certain to become unavailable. Like sneakers that are really, really awesome and fit just right. Or a certain cut of jeans that is 100% right for you. Or certain colors and styles. Whatever it is, if you really love it, it'll be yanked from the market.
So there. Fashion curmudgeon out.
