Pointless Fashion

Tonight I went to Urban Outfitters with my sister. For some reason I thought it wasn't going to be annoying as usual, but I was wrong. But this time it wasn't really the people who worked there that annoyed me. Usually people who work there are all scenesters that have this look on there face that says, "I'm so fucking cool, how dare you shop here." For some reason, I don't know why, I wasn't really annoyed by the workers but the clothes. Have you ever seen an article of clothing and thought, "that's really pointless, what's the point of that?" Well there was at least three items like that and probably many more that I didn't see.

One example of this, were these mittens that covered everything except the part the most people want covered, the FINGERS. Call me old fashioned, but I like my fingers covered up in my mittens. I've never experienced the sensation of only my palms being cold. You're probably saying, "Katie you moron, they've been making these for ages". But no, not like these, these were cut off before they even got to the fingers. They weren't the ones that were gloves but just had the fingers half cut off. They didn't have any finger holes! Just like one big opening for your hand to slip through, and then another little opening on the side for your thumb. I bet if you felt like it you could just slip the thing up onto your elbow.

The second item I saw were the highly obnoxious "shutter" glasses. The glasses with no lenses and just the little shutter slit things that make it look like your looking through blinds. Again, completely pointless. They obviously don't block the sun. They don't block the wind. And they look shit, not to mention make you look like an idiot. If I saw someone wearing these in public I seriously would not hold back the urge to punch them in the face.

The third piece I saw was this vest. But of course it wasn't a normal proportioned vest. The designers basically cut the fabric off right below the breasts. Fucking pointless! You obviously want something to go over your shirt, not some flimsy thing that covers basically just your boobs and none of your chest. It's pointless. It's not like you get any warmth or protection from the wind. You're basically paying 30 bucks for something to go over your boobs. You might as well just wear a bra over your shirt. It'd probably look a lot less shit anyway.
