My Eyes, My Eyes!!

I was on my way to my second job yesterday afternoon and I saw something that made me almost drive off the road. I've lived here 18 years so I know I should be used to the hideous things that people wear but this was truly stunning, and I don't mean that in a good way. This woman was walking a toddler and wearing baggy light green and moss green tie-dyed pants and a shirt and polar fleece vest of a similar green. If that was all it would have been unremarkable, however she also had on a knee length A-line skirt with hot-pink and black stripes in a chevron pattern. I wanted to stop and say, "Did you lose a bet? Are you color blind? Can I help you clean out your closet so disasters like you're wearing won't happen again?"

And I need to publicly express my extreme dislike for the whole wearing skirts and dresses over pants thing in general. It is ugly and tacky looking. Especially over jeans, yuck, yuck, yuck! I understand when women wear dresses over stretch pants since I am from a northern climate but it's unacceptable with any other pants. And around here I see it a lot. Including on my own sisters who think that I'm hopelessly out of date.
