For months, I lived in PA without much to talk about in the way of fashion. No sooner do I return to NYC than I get attacked by the latest groupie trend. Is there any woman in Brooklyn (besides me) who is NOT sporting the "uniform" (or some variation thereof) this season?
When I say uniform, I'm referring to the short sport jacket or blazer, with the tight jeans, oversized belt (preferrably metallic-looking) and the mid-calf to knee-high cowboy or bavarian boots ensemble that has taken over Brooklyn.
When I first got home I noticed someone wearing the outfit and I thought "cowboy boots? When the hell did those become fashionable?" But the sista was wearing it well and I said "hmm...I am feeling that look". Not that I'm one to chase trends, mind you. Since I'll be having a real job for once and I will have to (finally, regrettably) put aside my comfortable college gear...I'm a little more interested in what folks are wearing.
I noticed a couple more females with the cowboy boots. O...k. Then I noticed that females were going out in groups...like 3 or 4 at a time, with the same outfit on, just different colors. Or maybe one girl had a sport coat on and the other had a track jacket with knee high boxing sneakers. Yuck.
It's a cute look, I think..... but it loses appeal when everyone's doing it. And do guys really find it sexy when 3 girls are out "on the town" and wearing complementary outfits?
