I am trying to calculate how much I would have to be paid to wear these in public.
Still calculating…

Alright, those are monstrosities but mainly because of the patchwork…I have some really pale gold ‘boho’ (urgh) harems with tiny red flowers on and they’re really pretty…

Look, I’m as big an advocate of repurposing used clothing as the next ‘greenie,’but not this…never this. In fact, it could be used as a warning: If we don’t make our lifestyles more sustainable, we will wind up with nothing to wear but droopy-butted diapers made of rags.

Why? It just goes to show that you should never feel safe enough to say that a fad is over.

Kinda reminds of my backpacking around asia days … when the only clothes you could buy came from a market stall, you didn’t expect them to last very long and all you really cared about was being cool and comfortable.
I honestly couldn’t imagine wearing them in any other context.

It actually looks exactly like someone cut up a bunch of old clothes then tried to make a pair of curtains…and FAILED.

WHOA!
Ummm…. Hang on…. Let me catch my breath.
Ok- I’ve scrolled down & started at the ceiling long enough to recover. What can I say? I can’t tell which is worse, the one’s with that-time-of-the-month red or swirled excrement fabric panels in the worst possible place. Kelly’s right, even the patchwork is terrible.
I live in a v. hippy friendly town in CA & I can’t imagine anyone wearing these except for halloween. Even then folks would be saying: “Oh poor thing – what was she thinking?”
Fashion Police, please toss ‘em in solitary so they don’t give the other harem offenders the heebie-geebies.
Please excuse me while I go find some eye bleach & mental floss!

I’m such a dirty hippie. But I would never wear these. Not even as skirts.
