Other Boleyn Girl - Mary
Ok, seriously folks. I know Sienna Miller and Kate Moss are well dressed and all. They can actually pull off the crap 80's look with OK results. NEWS FLASH: You are not Sienna or Kate. You are not a high paid actress/model that can wear/do whatever she wants. You are a University student. We are here to learn, not to be at a fashion show.
Why do women insist on getting all their wobbly bits out the minute the sun shows itself? Muffin-top, the phenomenon of girls wearing jeans a size too small with their back fat pouring out the tops, is not something to boast about. Wearing a mid-drift top when you are displaying muffin-top is not acceptable. It makes me want to spit my coffee on you. Other unacceptable things: putting your tits on display, wearing a mini-skirt without crossing your legs, wearing skin-tight tanktops that hardly meet your bellybutton.
Ok, so as if the 80's comeback wasn't bad enough, what is it with girls in Britain dressing up for Uni like they are going to the club? Why, oh why, fellow women? Is this some kind of lashing out at the years of uniforms you were forced to wear at school?
In the US, most people dress relatively plain for Uni and save the fancy stuff for the club. So I'm having a hard time grasping why I feel like I've gone to The Walkabout when all I'm trying to do is return a library book.

So, in conclusion, the sun is a wonderful thing. The 80's, and your too tight and ugly clothes, are not wonderful things. Can someone PLEASE draft a memo that says University is not a fashion show? Or maybe I missed the memo, and suddenly it's not about what you learn, but what you wear while you're attempting to do it.

N.B. No, I'm not bitter. I'm just annoyed at the current fashion trends and the fact that I can't buy anything in the shops that isn't horrendously ugly.
