RANT-tastic

I don't know if this is a New England thing, but I've been noticing a ridiculous trend amongst twentysomething gals at work lately.

The choice of dress starts out ok, albeit boring: black trouser pants, slingback heel, appropriate work-attire blouse or shirt.
HOWEVER, "said shirt" becomes literally non-existent once these women enter their chilly office building, cooled to a low temperature of 58 degrees because, of course, studies show that people work smarter and faster when they're freezing their asses off...

Enter the Fleece Jacket.

It's a fashion killer. Picture the standard pale blue North Face fleece with 8,000 pockets and maybe even an old ski lift ticket hanging from the zipper...

I swear to God if I see another young decent-looking chick walking the halls in black pants, heels and a baby blue fleece I'm going to scream. These chicks could be completely fashion forward - they could be wearing a Gucci button-down with a big blingin' necklace and a scarf or vest or anything trendy for God's sake but yet they so easily sacrifice the "look" for "warmth and comfort" with a big, heinous, bulky, unmatching, plain jane FLEECE.
Bring a cute spring coat to work with you! Layer! Even a sweater that goes with the outfit is ok to throw on! Just PLEASE NOT THE FLEECE. Fleece's are ok when it's the middle of winter and there's snow on the ground. Not in May...even if said fleece is baby blue.
It's UGLY.



i feel better now, thanks.
