College "Couture"

I spend a lot of time on my appearance because I believe when a woman is in the streets doing whatever (shopping, going for a walk, or even taking out the trash) she should look her best. Now, of course I know this isnt achievable at all times. The economic times are hard so shopping excessively is totally out of the question for a lot of us and sometimes you just don't feel like getting dolled up. You wake up..see its raining, didn't get your homework done, and your roommate STILL hasn't returned you favorite blouse "Fuck it!" you say and then throw on some sweats.

I've been at school a week and a half. I go to a pretty big university with a predominately white population now, I'm not sure if they were raised to say "Fuck it" everyday or what but dammmmmnnnn no one gets dressed for class. I felt really overdressed my first three days of class and so afterward I figured I'll save my nice clothes for the many parties I'll be attending this semester and dress down a bit for class.

When I had almost lost all hope, me and some of my girlfriends decided to head to the club last night. No need to ask, of course I wore one of my best fits and made sure my hair was tight and then we left. We arrived, I cut the line as usual, and upon entering the establishment I immediately wished I had opted not to go.

GET THIS! Girls were wearing sweat shorts, tank tops and....and....New Balance gym shoes! WTF?!?!?! It took everything in me to not slap every single one of those Fashion Offenders. The guys were no better, gym shorts and wife beaters..smh.

When I got to the stage where most of the black people hang out, I was more at ease because I was surrounded by those who actually cared enough to change out of their pajamas before leaving for the club. I was also pleasantly surprised to see that here a lot of the white girls were dressed up too. And although many of the shirts looked like they were snatched and ripped from the DEB clearance rack, and then roughly sewn back together, it was loads better than the exercise wear.

I know college students are always poor, but please if you don't have any nice clothes borrow some or just simply, stay home! (lol) I'm joking but I know yall feel my pain.
