I Pick My Scabs: I Really Don't Like This

I do love what Rodarte churns out most of the time, but then while perusing Opening Ceremony I saw this ensemble, and thought "this is total dreck, yuck." I feel like a trend has been taking the fashion world by storm for a while now. That trend is the "it's so unhip, it's actually hip trend" and I think we can thank American Apparel and art student hipsters everywhere for starting this trend. It's become popular to wear t-shirts with cosmic backgrounds that feature dolphins or Husky dogs in the center. This reminds me of Lisa Frank school supplies and some hideous marine life laced folders I used to buy in second grade that also had a hint of Thomas Kinkade. I'm all for geeks, I'm all for unfashionable, but what I'm not for is people pretending to be that way, just so they can consider themselves cool and hip. You don't see me wearing Otomix bodybuilding pants to the gym with a Gold's Gym tank (showing off my boobies) so I can bring back a has been trend. Although maybe now I will buy a pair of Otomix bodybuilding pants. Now I do like the way a lot of hipsters dress, but I don't like the ones that try to hard to be different, because there is nothing different about trying too hard.

I think the only time that I feel cosmic pattern are acceptable is if they are coming from Peter Pilotto, then I find them appealing.

Here are some things that have made a comeback or that are considered popular when they really shouldn't be. Just so we are clear here there is nothing cool about going to a store (such as American Apparel) and dropping $500 for a couple of outfits just to look like you walked out of a thrift store. Just as I would never pay a whopping $3,000 for a dress that looks like my grandma made it for me and then somehow got regurgitated her pussy (cat). Meow.
