A University of Chicago guide to fashion

Its fall, the time of year when all the students return to the University and annoy me by taking all the copies of the Chicago Reader from the Reynolds club leaving me nothing but the crappy "Maroon" as reading material. Now I know this is the U of C and all and you pride yourself on your quirkiness and etc, but seriously i've seen some apparel choices that would make even Britney Spears recoil in terror, and we all know what a snappy dresser she is. These are examples of some of the worst offenders so far:

1) Jeans AND leg warmers AND a skirt. Ladies, lets not overdo the whole "layering" trend. There's only so much shit you can put on your lower half before you start loping around like you've got a horrible case of the gout or something.
2) A cardigan sweater, worn backwards. I dont even know what to say to this, except that you probably have to be pretty flexible to be able to button a sweater from the back.
3) ugly ass grandma dresses. People, just because we are shopping at the Salvation Army doesnt mean we cant be a little selective, ok?
4) Jeans + jean jacket. Now to be fair i'm pretty sure this dude was a professor and by default they are supposed to be embarrasingly bad dressers but still this is no excuse, especially because of the out of control stonewashing that was going on.

on a totally unrelated note: If you are in the Chicago area you should all go to Gunther Murphy's tonight to see the Goddamn Shame. 9 p.m., $7 dollars. Do it.
