There are a lot of things I don’t understand about this world. I dont understand how people can be cruel to children. I don’t understand why people think God wants them to wage war. I don’t understand why the ads on MTV in the 80’s had no sound. And I don’t understand why anyone ever thought that creating fringe by cutting long raggedy strips of t-shirt fabric might be a good idea.
That this catastrophe of an outfit could have gone into production confounds me. There were so many wrong decisions along the way. From the person who invented the cotton jersey fringe, to the person who decided to use that fringe to adorn an oversized tomato red T-shirt, to the person who decided to design matching slightly baggy legging/pants, to the person who decided that it would be ok to manufacture that concoction of bad decisions, to the person who decided to purchase that manufactured concoction of bad decisions for their shop, to the person who decided to purchase the purchased manufactured concoction of bad decisions for their own wardrobe… An entire chain of supply-side economic process and not once did someone say “Whoa. Wait a minute. We are putting a tomato-red oversized T-shirt with shredded cotton jersey fringe and matching baggy legging pants into the universe. Is this ok?” Not one person.
However, I can’t altogether disagree with the nailhead studs haphazardly dotted across the neckline and fringe. It makes me think that somewhere along the line someone did try to save us from this. That person failed.
