Uncomfortably Numb

Now, this is fashion.

When I walk down the street. I shudder. Laugh out loud. Sometimes point and even take pictures.
Local girls and boys. They can make an aspiring fashion designer want to stick two very sharp objects into each of her eyes in order to prevent herself from the sight of those clothes.
Acid washed jeans, Tight shirts and T-shirts with fake names, frills everywhere. Shiny polka dots. Shrugs that look very much like scarps of clothing attached together. Flare. Bling. LIPSTICK. Powdered faces that make them look grey. It's too much to take in, I tell you.
Why do you want to dress like this if you aren't comfortable in what you're wearing?
Why do you want to make a mockery of yourself?
It hurts my eyes.

We point, we stare. We take pictures and humiliate them, and they don't even know it. Sometimes, I feel like I'm a total bitch for doing that, but when you decide to go out looking like that, you should probably expect that!

When I went for my NIFT situation test. There were a few girls in particular, who stood out amongst the millions lot of shorts, tee's, jeans and kurties.

Glare ladies daughter - Flared green acid wash jeans. Black top. With puff sleeves with gold polka dots. Ruffles from the waist to hip, in the same black and gold dotted material. Black very old fake leather high heels. Dark brown lipstick and bindi.
Many of the NIFT seniors who were there were smirking openly, and her mother yelled at everyone. She was finally told to "eff off". = \

ATIT-dude girl - Her top with attached shrug with many holes said that. I am not kidding.

Dress girl - Situation test. She wears a strapless red dress with matching shoes and a hair band. Oh, did I mention the shrug that went along with it, in the same material with lace edging? Oh, and lace leggings. And tiny polka dots.

These were the top three.
Yes, they stood out and that's what fashion is all about. being different, expressing yourself. but, this. is. not. how. you. dress. to. an. EXAM.

I'm just trying not to think about how they'd dress to college, on a daily basis.
Unfortunately. IF you are really good with clothes and material and dressing and fashion and hope to do well in that industry, I think your clothes need to reflect it.

Moreover, those who dress so horribly in the streets, try not following trends. Try being comfortable in what you're wearing, rather than just doing something because your classmate or favorite actress is, it'll help.

And it'll give my friends and I some peace of mind.
Not to mention sanity.

Thank you for reading this.

TATA.

I saw this girl once, who wore a skirt over a pair of jeans, and a t shirt with it that said ' MASTER OF BAD ACTIVITIES = MBA'
God!

No, but seriously.Fashion is one of the very few industries I look up to.It's the art of give the spectators not only a chance to express themselves but a voice.The art of making others artists themselves.This is what I'd like to think is "Fashion" and not the overrated industry we have come to know in this commercial world.Shruti, you're the person you've been waiting for. Give us salvation and reasonable discounts!
