Fashion Fact Check
And yes, I’ve read New York’s story on non-adulthood this week, and yes, it’s disturbing I would date allll those guys despite the Bugaboos. But this paragrah struck a wrong chord:
“It’s about the mom in the low-slung Sevens and ankle boots and vaguely Berlin-art-scene blouse with the $800 stroller and the TV-screen-size Olsen-twins sunglasses perched on her head walking through Bryant Park listening to Death Cab for Cutie on her Nano.”
Whoa. Hold Up. Someone still wearing Sevens is directional enough for ankle boots?
I don’t think so. Try vintage Helmut Langs from a New Mexico thrift store.

something needs to be 25 years old to be considered vintage.
helmut lang = not that old.
oops.

yah… ’sevens’?? i was very much ‘That Does Not Compute’..
and, isn’t ‘vintage’ a word formed from the french words for 20 and ‘age’?
vingt + âge … so then early 80’s would like TOTALLY make the grade…

Hah, I thought the same thing. Sevens? What?
The multiple mentions of Death Cab struck the same wrong cord. The new adults, do they have indie cred or are they really just out of touch peter pans? Make up your mind.
