I have been trying to go clothes shopping for the last few days and I'm discouraged at each new store I walk into. What the hell is up with *everyone* using the same ugly colors for spring. These colors don't even remind me of the light, bright colors of spring and spring flowers that we normally see and I can't imagine who would look good in this one, single color scheme. I hope this is a joke someone is playing on the fashion industry

Don't even get me started on the styles... like the "smocks" that are so overrated this year and are just a subtle twist on the burlap sacks from last year that looked horrible even on skinny people

I hope this is just happening in the "fashion" capital of the world where if it's not in a fashion magazine it's not availableeasy to find.

Yes, I'm particulary disenchanted by the city of Paris this week.

How's your neck of the woods?

Ok, let's see what we got here. Starting from the top left:

  • White. Duh, ok, white is pretty universal. Dirties easily.

  • Some sorta grapey color. I suppose it's not too bad if you're seventy and going to church.

  • Straight up pink. Popular among thirteen year old girls and male rap stars with absolutely no taste.

  • Some sorta salmon color. Wear this to resemble the inside of a fish. Do not enter the woods, bears may pluck you up and eat your brain.

  • Taupe. Wear this to resemble a hallway in a motel. They say taupe is very soothing.

  • Lavender? The name says it all really.

  • I call this one "Fresh Bruise." Reminds me of spring in the way that the inside of an elderly person's closet reminds me of spring, which is to say that it doesn't.

  • Mauuuuuuuuuuuuuve

  • Isn't this color called "Putty" or something? Terra Cotta? In either case it looks like mexican dirt, which is the next best thing to looking like shit.

  • Orange Julius. Refreshing.

  • I just call this color "blue", if you're female you probably call it something else.

  • Dark maaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuve

  • Burnt Sienna? When did you escape the Crayola factory and become a relevant color?

  • Yay, more orange variants that remind me way more of searing heat than springtime fun.

  • I have no respect at all for this last row or any of the colors in it.

    Sorry, Maradon!, but we're going to have to revoke your "guy license"--you know the names of waaay too many colors.

    Correction:

    What's missing are colors like Grass green, Tulip Pink, and Daffodil, not to mention the old standbys like Khaki.

    wtf?

    There will be many, many clothes hitting the outlet stores and goodwill this fall and next spring due to all the ugly stuff people refused to buy or did buy and hated after the fact.

    Edit: This is supposed to be fuschia?

    The big colour thing this spring is mixing warm grays with yellow and white. Only people with really dark complexions can pull off yellow. Yellow makes everyone look like their liver is failing.

    I feel like a lot of designers used up their talent during this last Winter. I really enjoyed a lot of the clothing lines that came out in November and December. I'm sorry to say that I'm not even liking Gaps Spring wear. They're going with a very strange "make everyone look very anorexic" which is very unlike Gap. Diesel's clother took a huge turn for the worse too and Prada is using weird obnoxious colors. I'm going to have a shitload of money after my birthday because I don't want to buy any clothes...


    OH OH, but D&G has a GREAT female spring collection.

    And their designer/buyer was axed as well as H&M's designer/buyer for their crappy tastes. Thank goodness!

    I AM a dude. hahaha. I'm a straight dude too.

    EDIT: I just looked at H&M's Spring catalog. I thought they were my last hope.

    I hate H&M I like their clothes, but they do not fit anyone unless that person is shaped like a boy. It sucks.

    I restarted the series because I got bored of backstory at the beginning.

    Got through like 28 episodes in 3 days.

    So good.
