Midlife Musings

Reflections on life from 40-something

This is fashion?

August12

Oh, how I wish I had a picture to accompany this post! Alas, I do not normally drive around holding my camera in my hand. Occasionally, yes, but only if I know I will see something worth photographing. Late last week as I was driving the kids to practice, I got caught totally off guard by a sight that made me ask for a fork so I could poke out my own eyes. Fortunately, my children reminded me that the image was already singed into my brain, and poking out my eyes would do nothing to change that, so I can still see.

I saw a man. A full grown man. And his pants. His pants were so low that his belt was wrapped tightly around his upper thighs. He was wearing one of those wife beater tanks, and it was taut over his buttockal region. It was not pretty, people. It was just….scary, in a point-your-fingers-and-cross-your-eyes-and-clutch-your-gut-laughing kind of way. Seriously. The man was literally HOBBLED by his thigh squeezing belt.

Wouldn’t it just be easier to buy clothes that fit?

    But then he could disgrace himself by being in “style”.

    Yeah I’m with Nellie.
    You COULD wear clothes that fit, but really aren’t we all pretty good at walking by now. There’s no challenge in it any more. Simply strolling down the street is so laughably easy. There’s no ‘zest’ to it. Trying to catch a bus, picking something up off the ground, running from the cops all WAY to easy…

    You’ll see, this pant sagging dude sounds like a visionary, a true trend setter.

    “Fashion” will never be the same!

I'm Cass. I am a full-time mom to eight great children, a Christian and a blogger. I'm also a knitter, a reader and a movie watcher. And a collector of eclectic oddities.

For the first time in 18 and a half years, I have my own little corner again. Somewhere along the way, I seem to have lost myself, and now that I realize I'm missing, I'm on the look out for me. You maybe don't know what that means, but then again, maybe you do. Regardless, this is where I'll be when I'm not being a mother or a knitter. This is where I'll be just me. And if no one ever reads it, that's ok. I'll know it's here.
