Is it me or does the world seem to be choosing the strangest things?
Fashion, for one, seems to be driving peculiar choices but maybe this is not that unusual. Men wore high heels long before women started wearing them and leotards.
A friend said that she was looking for a turtleneck but couldn't find any as they were no longer in fashion. The fact that they keep one warm is apparently not important.
Another friend asked if I was concerned about not having the skinny style of legs on long pants as they are the fashion. (I didn't buy any stovepipe when they had their moment in the sun and my modest cords will do me just fine.) The skinny style certainly is not kind to those with some extra weight but that is what is available.
I like berets as winter headgear. If I need to cover my ears with the hearing aids, berets work wonderfully well and one could colour match. There are no berets anywhere so I knit myself one. People have been wearing berets for years. What put them out of fashion?
I see teens and younger wearing jeans where they seem to be badly torn and have little holding them together. A friend advised me that these type of jeans are the most costly.
I look at little girls clothes and they are so skimpy today.
If you check out dining sets, the chairs have no crossbars to stabilize the feet so the joints quickly get loose with use. I see them in the thrift shops now as people discard and replace. People are buying them because there are few alternatives.
What odd things are you seeing?
