When I was a teenager, I wore whatever made me feel comfy. That wasn't what was considered in style at the time, however, so I was seen as an aloof doofus by most of my classmates. Oh well, popularity was never my thing anyway.<BR/><BR/>Which proves the point: either you fit in by wearing what others wear and doing what others do, or you risk being ostracized. It is as true at 13 as it is at any other age.<BR/><BR/>The consumerist society knows no bounds.<BR/><BR/>Visiting from Michele's today.

No jacket, EVER, no matter how cold! <BR/><BR/>And it seemed like none of the kids wore jackets. (We live in the Northeast, so it gets really cold!!!)<BR/><BR/>Thankfully she wasn't part of the "flip flop crowd" who wear those all winter long.Panthergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03701693312528047037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207449.post-1128742187749647832005-10-07T22:29:00.000-05:002005-10-07T22:29:00.000-05:00My son stays in shorts and t shirts until there is...My son stays in shorts and t shirts until there is frost in the morning.

It could be freezing out BUT if my outfit looks good with open toe shoes, that is what I will wear. <BR/><BR/>Sensible? Hell no! Fashionable? Hell yes! <BR/><BR/>Now, I MUST blogroll you. Proving once again how fashionable I am.

It's true, it seems the more sensless a trend, the more popular it will be. Anybody remember when sweatbands were popular to be worn as accessories as opposed to a workout necessity? Or how about sunglasses being worn indoors.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunatley while there are such media icons such as Laguna Beach and the OC, styles such as these will forever be in place. After all, our kids need to go someplace for inspiration right? Leave to MTV to provide that inspiration.<BR/><BR/>Someday when I'm a famous fashion designer, I'll coin sensible clothing and put it on all of MTV's reality vixens. Then I promise, you're children will finally where what they're supposed to, when they're supposed to =)<BR/><BR/>But a PS side note. As for kids wearing something because a television show "told them to wear it", I really don't think that's the case. It's more that these kids are drawing inspiration for their clothing choices from things they see every day. And right now Laguna Beach is the hot show!<BR/><BR/>Maybe we should re-introduce Leave it To Beaver or the Brady Bunch into the media. I guarantee conservative styles would defintley return!<BR/><BR/>Hang in there, winter's almost here and I'm sure you're daughter will latch on to some new trend and you won't have to worry about track jackets in this weather anymore.<BR/><BR/>But a PPS..that whole popping the collar thing has GOT to go. I blame Abercrombie for that one. ICK!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by my blog by the way!!! =)Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05637689489060120742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207449.post-1128539807968993532005-10-05T14:16:00.000-05:002005-10-05T14:16:00.000-05:00I have a seven year old who hasn't yet learned to ...I have a seven year old who hasn't yet learned to dress appropriately.
