I Don't Understand Fashion

I know shop store mannequins are supposed to be oddly dressed. But surely this is insanity:

It looks like someone ate seven different types of gelati, then threw up in a clothes dryer.

The slogan of the new range is "Romance Was Born".

Romance was born? Where? In court jester's convention?

In other fashion news, I recently bought a great pair of dark blue denim jeans from Target. They were just $40.

I f***ing love Target.

Yesterday, I saw the same pair of jeans on special for $28. I contemplated getting a lighter wash. Then I thought "Stuff it. I'm a darkwash girl."

So now, I have two pairs of the exact same type of jeans. They fit well, improve the general appearance of my legs, and match all my tops.

This is why I suspect I will never be fashionable.

  1. I still don't understand why anyone wears a suit and tie in brisbane, i mean have they not noticed the heat and humidity yet? Maybe i'm missing the fashion gene to GC.

  4. Beeso - fashion genes are so HOT right now. Particularly in a flared stretch.

    Uamada - I get my smalls at Target too generally... but Coles, you say? Interesting...

    Jennicki - High five!

    And a fresh point... what's with the nipples on the mannequin, too?

    What's going on there?!?!

  6. Ok that's seriously ugly. It looks like it should be in an op-shop, cos they like to chuck random bits of clothes on their mannequins.

  7. I don't get fashion either except I have the odd knack for looking for things 1-2 years before they become fashionable. You'd think that this meant I was at the leading edge of fashion but no, it means I'm daggy 2-3 years before everyone else!

    Target have the best undies.

  12. It looks like the sort of outfit a henchwoman for the joker in the 70s TV series would wear.

  13. Target was my fashion friend once, too. Then I discovered DFO. Even better, I found DFO had its own food court. Double WIN! Very much worth squeezing on to the bus with the thousand-or-so Korean students every other week to get my bargain clothing fix.

  14. It DOES look like a superhero sidekick outfit!

    OK, so now I know what to wear when the Wah finally becomes a masked vigilante. I can be his outrageously bright and sassy off-sider. Woof!

  15. You can be my sassy sidekick... but you have to come up with a better name than "Woof"
