HEINOUS: Designers, WHY???

Laying in bed last night, reading Elle, I came upon something completely and totally disturbing. Though it is widely known that fashion trends recycle themselves every 20 years or so, I was alarmed to find that the "it" looks for Spring include HAREM PANTS and SHOULDER PADS. WHY, GOD, WHY???

Harem pant
s may be able to pass on the runway, but in REAL life? No. They never work. Except for maybe a few people in NYC.

And shoulder pads? No. Absolutely not. Maybe I'm being close-minded about these recycled '80s trends, but really. Come on now. These are SHOULDER PADS! And HAREM PANTS.

1. I do not want to look like MC Hammer.
2. I do not want to look like a linebacker.

I would to prefer to come off as feminine and dainty. Luckily, other Spring 2009 looks include: bralets, animal print dresses, bondage dresses, and crop tops...????

Designers, I am not impressed. You have failed me.

Oh, and you can wear pajama pants on the street now- so long as you pair it with a structured top and statement necklace.

My cat Jenny, may she RIP, knew a thing or two about fashion- shoulder pads were her favorite chew-toy. Need I say more? No. Thank you.
