Fashion and Grammar Gripes
How can you not love Fashion and Grammar Gripes? This is a witty blog, devoted to dissecting idiotic fashion trends (gladiator sandals, for example, or those heavy middle-school style bangs) and chatting about her editing life.
Fashion is not entirely annoying me this summer, but it’s somewhat confusing. The new trend in dresses is the maxi dress, last seen in such great numbers in the 1970s. I know because I still have my mother’s maxi sundress hanging in my closet. Why this is back in style this summer, I’m not entirely sure, although I think it has something to do with driving all of us who bought short, short mini dresses and mini skirts last summer completely bonkers.
Fortunately, I was not about to buy one of those so-short-it-looks-like-I-forgot-to-wear-pants dresses, although I did buy a bubble dress which is a total no-no now. Sigh.
