#becausela

I’m starting to notice a fashion trend happening that’s really rubbing me the wrong way and I’d like to talk about this matter seriously:

Tying your jacket/shirt around your waist.

What you are seeing here is an optical illusion. By accessorizing with her oversized glass, summer fedora, and designer bag…you fail to notice (or think) how strange it is that she has this GIANT purse, but no where to put her long sleeve shirt once she took it off? Did she make a poor fashion choice this morning about the weather and it was warmer than she originally anticipated? Is her bag already too full of organic granola bars and self-help books she left no room for her chambray button-up? Did she pee herself and embarrassingly had to cover up with her closest resource? I have a millions questions. All of them, why, why did someone put so much effort into finding a fashionable way to bring back yet another 90′s era trend?

It is even worse when someone is wearing their jacket belt, and they already have another jacket on. A heavy one, in fact. A ‘I knowingly choose to put this jacket on my arms and use this second jacket to cover my hips (or draw attention to my crotch)’ jacket. Does this make wearing sunglasses over top of your real glasses finally cool? (I’m going to go with a hard, no)

I do not believe we are all as fortunate as this girl when it comes to this fashion choice. In fact, I’m sure if I were to attempt this same feat I am certain I would resemble Topanga’s little sister trying to tag along with the ‘big kids’ to see ‘Spice World’ in theaters.* Let it also be known that I attempted to find a tacky, low quality, 90′s photo of this original trend and it seems the entire internet has fallen pray to the idea that this is fashionable.

LA: 1

VA: 0

I just moved from VA to LA (yes, I’m very cool).

And while I personally was under the impression I had been decently hip all my life (lol) I had absolutely no idea how much of a culture shock this move was really going to be (I live in a district called Koreatown)(Excuse me: the cool thing to say is K-town)

So what better way to share my surprise and delight, my unapologetic unbiased (right) observations and judgement, and the trial and error of exploring this city without looking like either a tool or a tourist than to start a blog, right?! (because blogs are cool) 

Also I promised myself and my friends that I wouldn’t let myself become a person that used the tag #westcoastbestcoast so let me go ahead and get that out of my system now #westcoastbestcoast #woogirl #woo

I just keep imagining New York in the 60’s and America in general being split up into different decades ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I don’t use Fahrenheit so for a full minute I thought you were talking about decades and got all sorts of confused like exactly WHAT is going on over there??

AHAHHAHA OMFGGGGGG

i am so SORRY! XDD

Pssst. Have you seen ‘A Werewolf Boy’?
