Taking Back The Prep

I am so over the 'homeless chic' looks started by ne'er-do-well with the likes of Mary Kate Olsen and the blogosphere. I never attempted the look, but I imagined I would look absolutely ridiculous with only leggings as pants and tons of sweaters, scarfs, and gigantic fur coat. The whole... 'broccoli stick' look just doesn't scream appealing or fashionable to me. Sorry! I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who rocked it, but I have yet to see a homeless chic femme y homme.

And it's not practical! I have worn tights before. Black tights are my to-go for dresses and short skirts.. in 50s and 60s degree F weather! But the low 50s, I'm most certain that tights, no matter if they're made of wool or polyester, will not keep my legs warm. A light gust will send shivers to me timbers.

i.e.:
Hi, I'm cold and I'm trying very hard to ignore the sharp pains in my thighs

Too much going on. Too many trends at the same time. And it's impractical. Whatever. I'm a hater. I know. Do you wanna know what I wear on cold, rainy day weather? Perhaps it's not as trendy, but it's practical and I don't know, a bit stylish in an Old-Grandma sort of way.
