the joys of being 29

I've come to the conclusion that I am now too old to shop at Urban Outfitters. I decided this after going to their website and clicking on "dresses" and having a page come up with girls wearing jeans. Ya, there's no way I'm going to wear a dress with jeans. Actually, I don't think I ever would have worn a dress with jeans.

I also want to know when the ruffly Madonna 80's skirts came back in style. They were bad the first time around.

I knew it. I knew that if I clicked on "socks and tights" I would find legwarmers. Ya, I can't shop there anymore.

yeah the 80s thing is kind of yucky. some of it is okay. but a lot of it i really do not like. Like off the shoulder tshirts and stuff. And legwarmers. And I have never worn a skirt with jeans, either.

There's nowhere the 80s are as alive as Urban Outfitters. I've noticed it, too. I can't take the giant round plastic bead necklaces anymore.

hey...sorry I missed your birthday last week. I hope it was happy!

As for the clothes, I don't think it's a matter of age, but how you feel about them. I won't wear dresses over jeans either, but that's not because I'm 32, it's just because I think it looks stupid. I did, however, see someone wear a skirt over a pair of black pants and thought it worked. It's all relative I suppose. :)

I think it's more of a "Man, what are young people wearing today!?!" type response that I'm linking to my age ;) That and the fact that I was around and old enough in the 80s to remember these trends.
