can i just say that i just spent ten minutes looking at a facebook album where almost every single person was wearing checks?

Eh I hate this pattern/style, but I feel like it's so Midwestern it's giving me hives.

the blue one is ok too - the others are a bit too "contrast-y"

i don't care for the country-western or 70's style ones for myself. they're ok on other people just not my style. prefer the grunge ones/"dad" shirts & really love the one i have from ll bean actually, the largest sizes in the boys' department are nice and i think it cost less than $20.

actually now that i think abt it i'm pretty ok with this as a thing so...

life is change

Or so I've heard.

Oh Daria, you media hound.

Laughing at this clip with the sound off.

The quality and warm fuzzy factor of a really worn-out LL B shirt is undeniable, but I just can't stomach them anymore as a fashion thing. But then I never liked grunge.

i liked grunge a lot. i guess current outfit could pretty much be grunge years except i didn't get it from thrifts (striped sweater, plaid scarf, down vest, jeans). could be ready to go to marching band practice

Haha I didn't dress like that when it WAS the early '90s and I was in marching band, but then plaid flannels were never "out" in MI so grunge bringing them back was sort of unnoticeable from the status quo....

I think "indistinguishable" was the word I was looking for there.

looking at ebay postings for vintage plaid in which these 17 year olds are wearing exactly what i wore at that age XD ripped tights, combat boots, baggy plaid shirts, and denim cutoffs

kids these days! get a new style

a bit off-topic: i was going to complain about sartorialist these days but then i saw this.
