it's reprocessed. and, really not even that funny. but it fulfills the daily blog obligation. selah.

in the news today, 10 ways to keep wearing your summer clothes into the fall. by "you" they mean of course "women" because men just wear the same clothes all the freaking time like it doesn't even matter. eejits.

first up, pair tights with shorts. are they serious?? this didn't look good in its heyday back in the 80s and it doesn't look good now. just. say. no.

Layer under as well as over. "People never think to layer things under dresses, but if you have a sheath dress, you can layer it above a white button-down blouse. Or put a sundress over a T-shirt," Loehnen says. right. okay, this is otherwise known as a "jumper". or, if you live in those parts of the world where a jumpter is a sweater, this is a "pinafore". either way, it's best left to the elementary school girls and their teachers.

next they advise that you wear a belt because all these layers might make you look a wee bit chunky. like a refrigerator. in a box.

fourthly, add animal prints. yeah, because nothing says "good taste" like leopard print shorts over tights with three shirts and a belt. things are really developing well here.

the fifth recommendation is to wear a cardigan, jean jacket, or leather jacket to bulk up a summer dress. i will just pause right here and say this is great advice and by no means should be confused with any of the adjacent wack advice.

six & seven are "vest" and "chunky shoe" with "legging". unless you are jenna elfman, don't try this. next they advise that you add an olive green military style shirt. boo-yah! they follow this with #9: don't follow the rules. military... rules... huh.

finally, they say let the accessories do the work. i don't know about you, but i've never had a scarf, necklace, or earrings do a lick of work for me.
