Yep. Also irate that we have a serial rapist on the loose who manages to confound prosecution. Jurors finding out his history after the fact are beside themselves. It's a failure of prosecution. Because it is home invasion that becomes he-said-she-said and the typical victim on trial FUCKNUT.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I have a fashion question: How much does a given "look" for a season affect what you buy and wear? Do you find it so difficult to find the stuff you like that you don't shop or you give up and buy what's in stores?
A little of both. I can usually manage to find boot-cut jeans despite the skinny jeans trend (which needs to die now [hipster dudes, I AM TALKING TO YOU; THOSE JEANS ARE NOT FLATTERING TO YOUR JUNK]). But the 80s throwback dolman/kimono/batwing sleeves are making it really hard for me to find sweaters I like.
And FUCK wedges, man. I hate those things forever.

Mostly the first, filling in with neutral classics when necessary, and of course consignment shops and thrift stores. It's been a while since a season was that Not Me, but I can recall it happening.
I'm watching The Good Wife. Jesse's whitefont is not wrong.

Not so much the styles (though to some extent--when crop tops are in, even basic shirts tend to be shorter, when skinny jeans with long tops are in, t-shirts are longer). But I find the COLORS are very trendy and that irks, when colors I am not flattered by are all I can find. Because even if they always have a green, sometimes it's a good one and sometimes it's not.

I have been wearing my socks on the wrong feet all day. Oops.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Do you find it so difficult to find the stuff you like that you don't shop or you give up and buy what's in stores?
I had to go to five different places just to find a sweater that didn't have dolman sleeves, or spangles, or weird cutouts, or a stupid asymmetrical hi-lo or sharkbite hem. Trendy clothing is almost always some strange, nearly unwearable thing a desperate designer came up with in a over-caffeinated fit. Like cold-shoulder sweaters. Really? No one saw some irony there, at least? The trendy colors now seem to be more suitable for darker skin tones than mine (no one wants to see me in chartreuse), but usually I can still find a black or dark blue option.

The ones I'm wearing today do. And the left one has an L on it and right one has an R and I didn't notice until just now.
I've got them correctly distributed now. I'm not sure if they feel different or not. Maybe more comfortable? That might be all in my head.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
When I shop, I am adding to my wardrobe.Right now, I only have 3 pairs of pants - I just can't find any that fit properly. I do have places that carry a lot of basic styles that I like so I will fill in with those. If it is trendy and I like how it looks , I will wear it for ten years. the years of pastel - I don't buy clothes.
