After looking over the most recent Nordstrom catalog, I have a few requests for people who design clothes for the hoi polloi. These are they.
- NO MORE rock ‘n’ roll-inspired clothing. This means no more studs, no more ripped pants, and a restricted use of silver zippers and black leather.
- NO MORE clogs.
- NO MORE tie-ins with Twilight. Barf.
- NO MORE satchels / hobo bags that are larger than the girls carrying them.
- NO MORE panties with things written on the butt.
- A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE in “embellished” vestments. No, I do not want a floppy flower stapled to my sweater or little rhinestones scattered across my bust or anything to do with glitter.
I’m so sick of the slouchy/grouchy/rocker look. Looking “edgy” is so, so tired. Can we please make a move to clothes that are more tailored?

lol at Christina’s comment–seriously, you have expressed my EXACT thoughts. Maybe it’s because I have to wear “professional attire” 5 days a week now, but I sort of resent buying things that are too grungy to wear even on “casual Friday” (i have to put that phrase in quotation marks, otherwise I feel too much like I’m in Office Space)
