On the Fence

Everytime I go shopping, I inevitably always make a stop at Old Navy. If any of my shopping companions ever ask if we should go in, I always answer “of course.” And to this very day, I don’t own one thing that I actually wear from Old Navy. So why do I go in? Because it always sounds like a good idea. I see the jungle of chinos and peasant tops and something in my brain clicks on, and I’m hopeful that I will find something good for 2 bucks–even though I never have before. Well, there’s a lot of stuff out there that sounds like a good idea to me, and yet I can’t make a decision on whether or not I like it. Here are a few, and feel free to give me your opinion on whether or not I should hate it.

1. Leggings– Actually I love leggings. I love them despite the fact that they make my legs look like old man walking sticks. What I’m not sure that I like are leggings underneath those short jean mini-skirts. I’m leaning towards roach and trashy, but you tell me.

2. Peasant Tops– They’re empire waisted, embroidered and sometimes even bedazzled. All three of these things, in theory, sound pretty good to me. But when I actually see a peasant top all I keep thinking is that they actually look like “peasant” tops.

3. Leg warmers– Ok this is one that I really really love. I have purchased two pairs of hot leg warmers when I was in Japan and I love them, and yet have still not rocked them. Deep down, I know that they’re roach, but I can’t let it go. I think they’re so cool with black stilletos–cool in a chic street walker kind of way.

4. Lil’ Kim jackets– The small puffy jackets with the fur on the hood. I’m not actually on the fence with this one. I love it, I own one, and don’t talk smack about it because I will throw down like a gangsta.
