Why God? Why?

There are certain moments while shopping when I wonder if everyone, and I mean EVERYONE was asleep at the wheel. I mean really, you are telling me that the designer, the manufacturer, the buyer and the stylists all thought this was o.k? Someone must have drugged them ALL.

Case in Point:

O.k, I'm going to blame the stylists. Leggings are NOT PANTS and a skirt that requires something else to make sure you aren't exposing yourself doesn't really qualify as a skirt in my book. This is not even one of those looks that you can shrug off and say eh, a 16 yr old girl would look cute. No, she would look like a prostitute in an 80's costume.

ick.
