Surfing through friends' pictures on a well-known community website (Face...k y'all know it), I clicked on a picture that represented very well the American Southern middle-to-upper class couples freshly out of college. They were young graduates, looking at least 10 years older than they really are, with haircuts from the 19th century. The girl was of course wearing grandma's pearls, and the guy had the mandatory sunglasses and hunters/fishers hat. Future rich, arrogant and cigar-smoking farmer and his housewife juggling between raising the 3 kids and running the local garden's club.
Anyways, I'm not here to judge that American cliché, I'm here to judge their sad and obvious lack of fashion-sense :) We all know Americans have some trouble dressing up in the morning, clearly not knowing that long Tees only belong to the 80's, yes you should take a few extra minutes to have a matching outfit, and that no, you can't wear flip flops year round and everywhere... But here it was like the climax of bad taste. That couple was wearing matching outfits!!! And not even a cute one... An ugly blue/white vertical stripes one (which the guy wore with a brownish/greenish Tshirt... I mean, seriously?!!!).
I believe it is time we do something about this... We can't let couples go out wearing the same identical clothes, it's a clear proof of disregard to other people... So fellow readers, I suggest that the next time you witness that kind of fashion crime, you offer the poor victim the latest issue of your favorite fashion magazine (i.e Cosmo or Vogue).
