Fashion Roadkill of the Day: Vol 4

Every now and then you come across a t-shirt that tries to create a clever optical illusion but ends up looking idiotic. Like this one which looks as if the t shirt wearer has also draped a tartan scarf around her shoulders. Who would walk around in t-shirt weather wearing a tartan scarf? Dr Who, that's who. If that isn't enough the word "Goodbye" is printed on the back of the t-shirt as well. Well goodbye to you too, and don't let the door hit your unfashionable self on the way out.



I thought I had seen the last of that ridiculous t-shirt when it resurfaced like the contents of a dodgy seafood buffet. After I had gotten over the shock that they actually managed to sell another one of these t-shirts, I noticed that there was something else around her neck. OK, very confused now. If you have the fake scarf why do you need the real scarf for? If you want to wear the real scarf, then what's the point of the fake scarf? Is it to outscarf another person who you meet wearing the same t shirt or same scarf. Is outscarf even a real word? It must be part of some angst-ridden teen fashion statement.

This is not an unheard of phenomenon. Just two days ago, after a quite drenching rain, I saw a man wearing yellow calf high Chuck Taylors laced over his brown pants, a long sleeve grey shirt and a blue scarf, wound tightly around his neck and thrown,ever so nonchalantly, over his left shoulder. He was also equipped with a riding cap and sunglasses.
