Richly Ragged

Richly Ragged

Youth today want to abolish
all the elegance and polish
that has received such veneration
from their parents’ generation.
Jeans with rips and shirts with holes
seem to be their fashion goals.
What is ironic is the tags.
They spend a fortune for these rags!

 

The prompt today is polish. Image taken from the internet.

    I went to high school in the 1970s… we embroidered our blue jeans, put studs on them, put patches and lace on them….a few years ago I took my daughter back to school shopping. She was in high school. All of the choices were jeggings or holes. She said, “I’m not buying holes” and ordered jeans from LL Bean. It’s funny to see the 70s fashions roll around… I think, no I am NOT wearing that, high school was NOT that fun!

      I remember that.. but it was more of an art form then. Now it is just damaged goods. Ah well. I said to myself when I was much younger that I would never tsk tsk teenage fashion or music, but it gets harder to live up to my pledge and guess today I broke it.
