When you're a child, you fall down frequently and scrape your knee. Sometimes you also rip your pants, cover them in dirt. You wear out your clothes.
For some strange reason, teens and adults like to buy clothes that look like a child ruined them. Distressed pants with scraping, different washes and holes.
I'm sorry, when I pay $100 or more for a pair of jeans, I want them to be intact--and I don't want them to accentuate by butt or my thighs (yes, that's what distressing does).
The good news: I'm seeing less people actually wearing distressed jeans. The stores are trying to sell them still, but it seems people are coming to their senses and wearing jeans that are still intact.
The downside is that more people are squeezing themselves into unflattering skinny jeans.
The good news? Maybe retailers will get the hint and stop stocking distressed jeans.
It's a step in the right direction.

Big and Beautiful!
Oh lovely large people of the world, I implore you:
-Stop wearing baggy clothing because you think it will hide your shape. Why do you need to hide it? Be happy with who you are! And if you just can' t be happy with yourself, contemplate the fact that baggy makes you look bigger.
-Stop wearing too-tight clothing because you don't want to go up a size. We live in a society fixated on the allmighty SIZE TAG. If it fits, wear it. Get the correct size and you will look good no matter what--even if you have to have it tailored to fit your hips and your belly--and nobody is ever going to ask for your size, anyway. No one else cares!
-Stop shopping at grandma stores because it's the only place to find comfy clothes in your size. There are plus size stores out there with fashionable clothing--you just have to look! Maybe you have to make a day trip to another town, or even shell out a little more money. But to be honest, the more you pay for clothing, the better the quality--i.e. it will last you longer and, if you buy staple items, it won't go out of fashion.
-Stop eyeing the skinny people around you jealously!!! We all have different frames and shapes. We are all different, destined to be so. Although "society" says we need all be skinny, it's just not going to happen. Don't let yourself be stigmatized for your size; carry yourself with confidence, grace and an air of how great you really are. Dress yourself well. Nobody cares how big your clothes are, and nobody should care.
