The current state of fashion is annying the crap out of me. It's basically the worst of the 80s. Eveything is tight in the wrong places and loose in the wrong places and the only thing I've seen in stores that I've liked in months is this pair of hideous little ankle boots at H&M that my inner Snape just adores, god help us all.

It's not that I need new clothes. It's that I want to look at less ugly.

There are a few hopeful signs for fall and winter (New Romantical, like those Snape boots (the ones with buttons?), and now I am envisioning a teen Snape in New Romantic drag and I want to smush him in a big hug because it's soooo cute), but I am so goddamned sick of cheap thin knitwear in badly fitting cuts and layers. I can't remember when I've seen so many things actively designed to make the wearer's figure look awful. Bad Empire waists, horrible bloated blousons, waistlines all the hell over the place, baggy saggy sack things... ugh.

And why, God, why did they bring back the oversized message tee? I thought we might finally be done with the crappy screenprint Seventies tees, but argh!

And of course all this tunic-and-leggings crap looks ridiculous while sitting down, which is most of what I do these days. My only consolation there is that at least the baggy tunics might put an end to both biscuit roll and skanky denim with rhinestone messages on the ass.
