Who cares what Haligonians wear? Who ya tryin to impress anyhow. This post must be written by a young wanna be since as you get older you wear what is servicable and appropriate. In other words you wear what you want. Stop tryin to be somethin you’re not.
i find it refreshing. i took public transit for years next to self inflated twerps wearing chanel, boss, armani, lv d&g xy friggin g back on the west coast. the ones roaring around in bmw’s and mercedes were worse. at least here, students look like students. impoverished. creative. bookish. idealistic. well, at least they look the part. old people though, like woggie and me, should dress properly. latex and feathers. yards n yards of it.
fact is o.p., halisux is not.
Hey op.. it’s ok if you don’t feel confident enough with your body to rock the legging. Why all the jealousy toward those of us who do?
I never liked that style myself. I prefer short and tight things. Rainboots are gross and especially dem UGGS – they IS ugg- LY!! make me look like I got cankles.
