OLD
Today we went to the mall. I went into one of those trendy but cheap stores where all the teenagers spend their money. The kind of store I should never shop in because it makes me feel so out of place. It's the kind of store where the sizes run from XXS to L. Only the L is really a S in real clothes. But I had been looking for a certain kind of pant for the longest time and I knew they had them there. Anyway, after standing in line to get to the (tiny) dressing room and trying them on (in really bad lighting), I decided to buy them. To my surprise I fit into the S - but decided to go with the M instead just to be on the safe side (I didn't want to risk them being tight in ANY spot).
To my point- being surrounded by all those teeny boppers made me feel really OLD. I am so out of style I don't even know what's in and what's out. I am so not cool anymore and I am so conservative now that I think these new fashions look just plain silly. I stood in line for ETERNITY and almost decided it was not worth the wait. The teenage/early 20's me would have waited in line forever if I had found something I liked. The younger me would never think these new fashions were silly- I would have been amongst the first of my peers to be sporting them! Now, this didn't even seem to be worth it! I kept craning my neck to look outside to look for my husband and the stroller. I decided that I had waited this long, and there was no turning back now. So I took this scene all in- the girls in line, all made up with their hair done- talking about what is cute and what is not, text messaging their friends who were in the dressing room. As the line slowly moved forward it passed through an aisle with beaded accessories. I stared at the display of extremely long necklaces. I was totally confused. These necklaces were sooo long. I picked one up- this would go down to my belly button. Is this the style these days? I wondered. So that's when I realized just how old and out of vogue I really am. On the tag it said: Beaded Belt. Yeah, I can't even tell the difference between a necklace and a belt. I am SO OLD! I need to trade my baby magazines in for a fashion magazine! I'm pathetic! This from the girl who was voted: Most likely to host MTV's house of style, in highschool. How wrong were they?
