    Maybe I am alone, but I think the across-the-forehead headbands are quite cute.

    I am not known for my excellent taste in clothes, though. My mom threatens me with What Not to Wear frequently. So, maybe what I like isn't the best litmus test. #freepeople

    I can get you a ring like that at one of the jewelry stores on 74th St. in Jackson Heights.

    Then head to Patel Brothers for the best Indian grocery shopping eva.

    And wrap it all up with a henna tattoo! I'm getting myself a HT to freak out my family at Thanksgiving. It's going to be kick-ass.

    I'm just sayin'. #freepeople

    I could buy those distressed cowboy boots (picture 4) in a heartbeat, from any number of used clothing stores here in Nashville, and at half the price. Hippie my ass. #freepeople

    As a poor hippie myself, I would rather buy my poor hippie clothes from thrift stores (or ask my mother to knit them for me) than wear the FP or Urban Outfitters versions, which uniformly tend to have super wacky proportions, are often made of super flimsy fabrics, and are ridiculously expensive. Once in a while I'll pick up a t-shirt or non crazy dress (if they're ridiculously on sale) or a hat (I will freely admit that UO's hats are the stuff of my dreams).

    But really, I'd rather preserve my poor hippie (student) savings for 1) a grad school degree in the humanities and 2) flights to cool places where I can work with people who might actually be doing something to change the world. Oh, and 3) a suit so I can find a real person job someday (haha). #freepeople

    Last year, I planned to wear a cute dress to the office holiday party. I got about a foot out of the house before I realized that it was below freezing out and went back inside and changed into pants. Just looking at those FP dresses is enough to give me frostbite. #freepeople

    Fun at home- $20 bucks and access to a halfway decent bead or craft store and you too could turn out a necklace just as pretty. I'll bet if you checked out the local or artisan jewelers (find out who deals for the sci-fi or theatre crowd) you could get a ring very similar to that dream. Probably $50 to $100, depending on how intricate the setting. #freepeople

    #13 Looks like MC Hammer designed a line of Chippendale's Tuxedos that allow for pooping while dancing. #freepeople

    Why do all their prices in end in 8? Do they think it's some magic number that will encourage people to buy more? #freepeople

    Only skinny white people can dress like this. If you are thick or black or brown, you will look like a homeless vagrant. It's just a theory.

    You can also dress like this if you are skinny and black or brown, but you have to have a very expensive (aspirational!) haircut to go with it. #freepeople

    Totally agreed on the proportions on #2. That skirt would look totally cute with just a scoop-neck black tank. And 86 the knee socks, Jesus.

    #7. I thought that read "grandma's love triangle" and I was like "EWWW!"

    #9...so...much...ugly...

    As for #13, I thought harem pant trend had died? #freepeople

    @Penny: I think #9 is FP's take on American Apparel. Uglier, pricier, etc.

    "Boyfriend jeans"
    Definition: I took Marie Claire's advice and settled for a useless loser as a boyfriend and I've had to hold together his jeans with pieces of the shirts he leaves the floor for me to clean. #freepeople

    If you're over the age of 18 months, you probably shouldn't be wearing a "onesie." #freepeople

    I totally agree with your analysis of all of these fug clothes. The other problem with them is that they are NOT WARM CLOTHES FOR WINTER! Apparently these worldly, thoughtful trust fund kids also have super-high internal heating systems.

    I need, like, layers of Old Navy performance fleece to stay mildly warm. Luckily those are cheap. #freepeople
