AND a shirt under the dress. seriously. this means you should just skip the dress, woman.

i actually think this one looks cute. but i also dont have a prob with pants under dress (even though ive never worn it that way). why? because its too damn cold for a dress. but the dress still looks cute over pants!

and as far as what moonrock said... to me it looks like that dress is cut with the intention of being worn over another top. hard to say for sure without seeing the front but it looks like itd be awfully skimpy and low cut otherwise.

When DID this happen?

She obviously has no intention of getting raped, and she likes to get her crotch as sweaty as she can when she's walking all over the city.

White wifebeater would look better than the long sleeved shirt, but it's ok.

I was gonna say, "So her pussy don't get cold."

Is that the same?

This has seriously been going on for about 10 years. I think grunge is actually to blame, but it might have something to do w/ ravers and hippies, too.

Okay, I don't know.

It could be worse, she could be wearing that plus high heels with tube socks.

Also, if she farts, the skirt will flutter in the butt-breeze.

seconded.

though my favorite is a short skirt over jeans. <3

Nah, earlier

The "look as unattractive/slovenly as possible with absolutely nothing that matches" look existed in the 70s too. Hippie wannabes in the 80s-90s picked that shit up and punks & grungers did too. It's all part of the teenage angsty rebellious "I reject society's oppressive standards of beauty by dressing just like my counterculture friends."

You could also blame it on the Aesthetic Dress movement of the mid- late 1800s, followed by the Bohemians. The Aesthetics felt that Victorian standards were far too confining (literally and figuratively), and instead opted for free-flowing, unconstricted dress modeled after Greek statues, like you see in the pre-Raphaelite paintings. Most people thought their idea of "Aesthetic" dress was hideous, too.

I've been assuming that this particular dress-over-slacks thing was informed by Muslim dress. I saw it in Europe before it came here. There has been an increasing market for more modest clothes (kind of in the face of the increase in the market for whorish ones, and a few years ago I started seeing a lot more swim dress and tankini type things.

That was probably way, way more than anyone reading c575's LJ would ever want to know, but oh well.

What this outfit really needs is a Cloth Belt!
