all jean skirts should be burned...

To all my faithful blog viewers...whether you are following or just stopping by...

Here is my thesis on WHY JEAN SKIRTS SHOULD BE BANISHED FOREVERRRRR...

Jean skirts annoy me for 2 reasons...

Reason #1) IT'S LATE OCTOBER. unless you live in Cali (see note 1) BURN ALL OF YOUR MINI DENIM SKIRTS. It's getting colder out. Stop wearing them with Uggs (2) or leggings (3) and put on normal clothes.

Reason #2) If you are older than the age of 18, then by law you must get rid of the denim minis. Perhaps I'll even be nice and say freshmen year of college. Denim minis are all the rage as soon as it's nice, they seem to be getting shorter and shorter (4) and frankly if that's the best you can do then you need to go to a stylist ASAP. The day you graduate high school your fashion sense needs to mature with the rest of your life (5) but the bottom line is jean skirts are trashy. Think about it long and hard and even you will agree. Do you everrrrr see celebrities wearing them? Besides ones under 18? NO. Because they are ugly. Wearing a jean skirt, tank and flip flops out to bars at night should be illegal. I'm so sick of it. That's definitely not cute. It's my mission in life to get rid of the awful denim mini's. I threw all of mine out & haven't looked back since! (6)

The ONLY TWO exceptions are as follows...and read closely...

Exception #1) If you happen to find or already own a denim knee length pencil skirt, that is a huge exception to the no denim skirt rule. They look classic and the pencil skirt looks great on almost anyone. If you're going through denim skirt withdrawal...go buy a pencil skirt and it will all be OK!

Exception #2) If you are on a tropical beach (7) I might not have a huge problem. I do agree it's an easy cover up and is casual and easy to throw in your beach bag. But please do not wear you skirt and bikini top around the beach because that just proves the point that it's trashy. Buy a sarong or a terry tube dress.

So please please please please...go through your closet and throw out, donate or give away your denim skirts! It's a cleansing process that will really open your eyes to the real world of stylistas!

(ps-this is only my (8) opinion...clearly I'm exaggerating a lot of the points...so believe it if you want and if not...then let's hope we don't meet on the streets! JK I really wouldn't ever yell at someone or judge them without knowing them...but there is just something about jean skirts that completely rubs me the wrong way!)

notes:

(1) I still think this rule applies to those living in warmer climates but I would be more understanding & willing to discuss if that was the case...

(2) I have nothing against Uggs. I own 4 pairs. I think they are ugly too. But they are extremely warm and comfortable. Just don't wear them with a mini skirt. That's why Uggs get a bad rep.

(3) Nothing against leggings either. I'm actually wearing a pair now. But leggings and denim skirts never went together and never will.

(4) I have nothing against short clothing. It's just short denim that makes me want to walk up to complete strangers and tell them to change. Short skirts, short shorts, short dresses...say no to denim mini skirts from Abercrombie...

(5) Freshmen year of college is a big gray area...since all freshmen girls are competing to win the attention of cute college guys...but after freshmen year when you learn that 98% of them are lamer than your jean skirt...the rule applies to you again.

(6) Don't worry...I am extremely guilty of my own theory. I wore denim minis until my senior year of college and through the following summer. I am so ashamed. Good thing I realized this when I did so now I can help other people. I'm really just here to help!

(7) Or I guess a beach in general. I tend to buy cover-ups or even athletic shorts and t-shirts because I would never stoop so low to wear a denim skirt anymore but the choice is yours.

(8) And thousands upon thousands of other people's (opinion)
