As the cold weather approaches, it is becoming increasingly evident that some people choose to stay warm in such a peculiar manner. Rather than wearing jeans and a jacket like normal individuals, I’ve noticed a phenomenon amongst tweens that is based on mini skirts, singlet tops, ugg boots and scarves. Regardless of the fact that one should never be seen wearing ugg boots in public (a crucial rookie error I’m choosing to ignore for the moment), this bizarre outfit is devoid of any sense whatsoever.
Apparently it’s okay to get frostbite as long as it doesn’t affect your feet, neck, chest and nether regions. Or, are people simply dressing for the wavering climate we find ourselves in during Autumn and Spring? I must admit, its pretty annoying waking up in the freezing cold and layering up before leaving the house, only to find that the sun has come out by the time you get to uni and you’re left averaging an internal body temperature of about 63 degrees all day. However, the logic of an outfit that just barely covers your decency doesn’t seem to exist. Does wearing a mini skirt and singlet top with ugg boots and a scarf really cancel out the 8 degree wind chill and the 28 degree sun heat to achieve a rather pleasant personal weather forecast of 22.5 degrees? I don’t think so…

Why girls do this has confused me for years... and an Australian winter is mild in comparison with some other countries. I'll never forget watching girls in mini skirts, boob tubes and heels, try to make their way through 3 feet of fresh snow on New Year's Eve in Poland one year... unbelievable what some people will put themselves through for "fashion".
ReplyDeleteI agree. It is utterly ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteHowever this can be compared to men wearing t-shirts and shorts all year round. Perhaps they really aren't afraid of the cold?
