PJs


Having a project where you have to design and create a skirt is not as cool as all you young 13 year old girls with a 'passion for fashion' (yes, I said that) might think. You don't just have only three weeks to complete (deadline friday, eughh!), but you have to go through the whole research, ideas, design, creation processes. And once the skirt is finally made (hurrah!) you have to style it, photograph it and present it.

It is fun, believe me, but after spending 2 hours just changing outfits to see which ones are good enough to photograph tomorrow, I have no shame in saying that I am quite happy to change into some comfy mens t-shirt and my teddy bear pajama pants... i mean, 10 to 5 is a legit time to get comfy, no?

SO, for all you people who are planning on taking a foundation year in art & design (specifically fashion), don't think you'll dress all stylish and wear your highest heels everyday, and if you do, then you obviously have too much time and should go look for a job or something.

Dresses that look like a skirt and a shirt.... what is the point?!

First of all, how lazy does a person have to be to want one of these? As if you couldn't spare an extra 3 seconds putting on a skirt after you put on a shirt. It has to be a one piece that is super easy to slip on and that's that.

Second, I find it kind of offensive that the people who design these things don't think we know how to match our outfits! Whether it's true or not, in my mind the designers are talking amongst themselves saying stuff like "That shirt is cute... it would go really well with this skirt. Lets just sew them together because those commoners will ruin these pieces with their commoner clothes cause their common brains don't know shit." Well, to those jerks in my head, anyone who buys one of your stupid 2-piece dresses is so lazy about getting dressed, that they probably don't even give a shit about what they look like in the first place. So you are selling your clothes to people who don't buy your clothes cause they look good, but because it makes their life that one little bit easier than it already is, so your efforts to make a cute outfit are not even being appreciated. Hah.

Also, by sewing these skirts and shirts together, you are ruining the endless possibilities for other outfits! So many times I see these frankenstein dresses (get it?) and I really like the top or bottom, but the other half just kills it for me. So to be honest, the whole idea of these dresses is stupid.

If you like living the lazy, easypeasy, let-someone-else-do-the-creative-part lifestyle, go ahead... but don't come asking me if I like your outfit.
