Ironically, was commenting to someone last week about the horror of the 90s coming back, fashion-wise, following the terror of the 80s revival and how we couldn't be far away from oversized t-shirts to go with those disgusting things called leggings.
What should I see in Supre and Just Jeans and other places on the weekend but exactly that?! GAH!
They were acceptable back then. In the past. We don't need to bring them back. Especially not with the number of people I've seen in recent months sporting mullets. The Kentucky Waterfall is truly a terrible thing to do to your hair. This sort of thing doesn't need to come back into mainstream consciousness. I am too young for this to be happening!
I remember, thanks to the aid of photography, my crimes of leggings and oversized shirts/jumpers from the early 90s. Traumatic would be the word for it, although I was young and foolish and hadn't yet met Harpers & Queen. There are entire photo albums that are hard to look at because of the fashion crimes. This is what people who embrace leggings and oversize jumpers/shirts now are going to have to look forward to in the future.
Badness.
Anyway! I did see some good things and bought a few things too many while not finding what I'd originally set out to buy. There were cute skull and crossbone cardigans. Warm snuggly wintery hoodies (which sparked a conversation with a random guy about the merits of hoodies). Stockings.
And then there were these...
I describe them as my "If Gladiators Moonlighted As Strippers" shoes. But I love them and have coveted such a pair for quite some time.
And they were on sale.

leggings were never acceptable. no matter how many of us wore them. however those shoes go a long way to righting the leggings crimes of the past.
Sexy Shoes
Maybe the shoes will help right those wrongs. But maybe these shoes will be wrongs in 10 years time.
Ahh, perspective, that strange, mystical creature...
A friend described them basically as Teh Secks and I'm like, "How? And must I store them in ice to prevent people's eyes spontaneously combusting when they see them?"
i want those shoes!! i love them. i too want to be a gladiator moonliting as a stripper!
They're mine!
But if you've got stores around called Femme Connection, you might be able to get them there. And then you can striperator to your heart's content ;)
but in ten years there will be something else to make up for the current fashion crimes.
Which just goes to show there's always a chance for redemption...
Noice!
