Netting No-No


And so I'm walking to the train this 55-degree morning, and I see this girl in her BLACK stilettos and a WHITE flowy skirt with NETTING underneath. So many issues, where do you even begin? You know I just wanted to ask her how old she was, cause she sure looked grown, but then why would a grown-ass woman be walking around in a crinoline like she was 6-years-old in the Easter Parade?

So I've been investigating, and apparently some fool thought it would be the fashion this season to tack cheap, wrinkly netting inside cotton skirts. Of course, they wanted folks to know there was netting under there, so they made sure it was 2 inches too long. Now look, honey, this just looks ridiculous. Why on earth would you want to wear a tutu in the middle of summer? Did you not learn anything from your 4th grade dance recital? Tutus are about the itchiest things in the world and they're forever bunching up and making all manner of unsightly bulges in your princess costume, on top of the fact that they're incredibly cumbersome and not at all figure flattering. Now why on earth, they've been brought back into fashion, in the adult world no less, I just cannot fathom.

But I do know that you will not find me in a cheap skirt with the underneath falling out all over the place. And I just wanted to say to that girl on the train, honey, you are too old for ballet costumes, so get yourself together and dress like us grown folks!
