homeschoolers on fashion
Not that we know much, but we have a good time.
On Tuesdays after class I take home three 14-year-olds: Brendan, Bethany, and Luke.
Tuesday was a sunny day. My sunglasses are broken, but still somewhat wearable, so I was wearing them while driving. Someone commented on my still-not-replaced sunglasses. I got excited and began to tell them about the sunglasses I had just picked out at Costco — I got to pick any of their wall-full of frames and they put a good sunglass lens in them. I said I chose a very trendy pair that they had just received the day before (I learned that after choosing them). Luke (with a shudder, I believe, but he was in back), said that the glasses in style now are huge. I clarified that these were, then, trendy in “my highschool/college days” terms, and perhaps now just normal and acceptable — it is a small, rectangular, plastic frame. Then, thinking of large frames as being 80′s, when 30-somethings were in highschool, I speculated that perhaps people get stuck perpetually thinking what was in style when they were in high school is stylish. At this point Bethany shuddered and said, “I hope not, because what’s in style now is very little.”
