YUCK!

G K · ‎04-26-2019

Is there anyone else out there who's longing for styles to change? I'm so tired of embellishments, huge, ugly flowery patterns in horrible color combinations, fluttery, bell-shaped sleeves, ruffles...you name it! Aren't there any designers left who still believe in stylish, classy clothes all the way from kickback casual to dressy? I actually saw a huge palm leaf patterned dress for sale that was a dead on match for our living room wallpaper when I was growing up in the 1950's! Leave the ruffles for little girls and, please, I don't want to wear something that reminds me of my grandma's house dresses!!!

@G K Oh! You are preaching to the choir here! If I see one more ruffle, bell sleeve, big flower pattern, frumpy looking t-shirt (I love t-shirts just not frumpy. How do you ruin t-shirts anyway, but they have).... If I didn’t know better I would say designers are trying to disempower women with their ditzy, little girl, goofy styles. Just my opinion, Please bring back form fitting tailored blouses and not-so-form-fitting tailored blouses. Pants that fit your form, but aren’t so tight they look painted on, shirts and sweaters that fit but don’t have ruffles and bell sleeves (classy, tailored, no frills fashions). I wish designers would give us back the quality fabrics, styles and selection we had in the 80s. Clothes would last 10 or 15 years and they would still be in style now. I have jean jackets from Talbots from the 80s and they are in style now, but are made so much better than Talbot’s new stuff. The 80s was all about quality clothing, jewelry, cars everything. I was lucky to have experienced that time in the U.S. Bring back the 80s!!!😀 Boy that rant felt good.

Shop elsewhere if the store or online business isn't selling your style wanted. Imo and experience choices are easily available. No reason to believe other wise. For example Logo isn't for me, would I expect Qvc stop selling? of course not. That's why we have choices. Imagine, If we had no choice. That would be very sad.

@G K There’s always hope for next season’s styles!😊

Shop thrift stores!

They are treasure troves.

I don't care what is declared stylish and what others choose to buy and wear if I don't like it. I can find plenty of clothing that I like either here or elsewhere so I won't demand that styles I don't like not be available to those that like them!! With the internet and so many places to shop, there are styles available for anyone's taste!

Sorry, but you lost me when you started slinging ”YUCK” and “ugly” and “horrible”, and here’s why-

What YOU think is “YUCK” and “ugly” and “horrible” ON YOU may well and rightly be what I think is haute couture ON ME.

SSSOOOOO- tell anyone you want how much you HATE a look, how you’d prefer to see different (describe them ?) looks, be specific and explicit with what you want instead of listing what you don’t want then pronouncing them as “ugly-horrible” OR saying that YOUR LOOK is “classy-stylish” for no other reason than that you like it.

THEN, VOTE with your PURCHASES. If your heart breaks at embellishments, DON’T BUY ONE SPARKLY SEQUIN. IF I think RETRO when YOU think OUTDATED WALLPAPER, we can still live on the same planet! Simply leave MY FLOWERED BROADCLOTH SHIRT on the hanger and move on to a choice that pleases you MORE!

Just PLEASE DO NOT tell me what is UGLY because YOU DON’T LIKE IT. And I will definitely not tell you how I feel about what YOU wear with mass market language that presumes to embrace ALL OF FASHION.

If we want to use perjoratives we can talk about child abuse or the destruction of the Rain Forest or drunk drivers. “YUCK”? Horrible” and ”ugly”? I think we can agree.......!
