these pants are perfect! b/c some days i feel like a pretty, pretty princess and some days i feel like a junior high school janitor.
same with my top – some days i feel like the bikini lines and some days i just say “fuck it” and strap on a dish towel.
but reliably…i never feel like wearing underwear.
***namaste***
In fairness, the other project she made out of those freshly skinned grandmas is quite lovely – but I couldn’t afford the denture-and-bunion beaded curtain.
Some poor man is going to be in for quite a surprise when the girl he picked up at yoga class disappears into the bathroom to slip into something more “comfortable” and slithers out with this.
Is it really fucked up that I am mostly bothered by the fact that the ‘legs’ are two different colors? It’s distracting me from all the other fucked up stuff. With the pink and blue, all I can think is ‘baby shower’..
Whats love got to do with it? Any of it?
Love means having the balls to tell a friend contemplating putting this stuff on that they’re having an LSD flashback & should go hibernate for a few days.
I grew up as an Army brat. I’d never heard the term “Khaki green” so I Googled it to make sure she didn’t mean “olive drab” (aka, OD Green).
The results I found for “khaki green fabric” took me to images of fabric swatches the exact same color as what came out of my newborn, breastfed babies at one time or another.
Did someone photoshop her hips out of this picture?
Leftfoot (#5) mentioned cheesecake-think I’ll go have some for her. No doubt it’ll go straight to my hips.
Wow. There is a whole lot of crap in that store. Also, everyone involved in the production of this clothing appears to be on drugs. Not got-a-little-high-and-ate-a-whole-pizza drugs, but they-took-away-my-kids-and-I-haven’t-slept-for-three-days drugs. I hope that isn’t tru, but look: http://www.etsy.com/listing/27797906/hippie-love-bell-bottom-bloomers
She took Grandma’s nighties for the pants and her handkerchiefs for the top! Poor Grandma. But does this mean the pants pockets will come pre-filled with tissues, cough drops and Elderly Lady Pink lipstick?
“Vintage” lead me to believe there was wine involved – a nice 1976 Carbernet perhaps. Then I saw hippie and “Bloomers?” (really?) and the wine would be vintage Annie Green Springs or her cousin Boones Farm (YUM)
I have a great mental image of her wearing these to Burning Man, having a bad acid trip, ripping them off because “the shrubbery gremlins” are climbing them and hiding in a tree for three days naked and subsisting on pine sap. At least that is what would happen to me if I wore them.
from the bio “The goal is to have a closet filled with clothes that fit to flatter, that can be thrown on without thought or plan & leave you never feeling better”
You heard it, you wear these clothes you will NEVER FEEL BETTER no matter how hard you try.
i’m just thinking of the nether-region hippie cooties that have been left in all the pants during the modeling sessions. nowhere does she say “i’ll wash them before i send them to you.” and quite obviously the models do not wear underwear.
I love how major props were given to the photographer, & I use the term as loosely as the seams seem to be sewn on this crud. Even he couldn’t make these disasters look appealing.
I’m all for re-constructing clothes but I draw the line when the end result just looks like a bunch of rags. Why would you want to walk around wearing rags?
I don’t know, that these clothes are being made at all is terrifying, but her having made 124 sales is even more horrific. Who the hell is spending money on this shit?
I had those nighties when I was 5. My mom said we were giving them away to kids who couldn’t afford nighties. She would die a second death if she could see what happened to them.
Also, why do her hips look plastic like the old Barbies? You know, the ones as old as those nightgowns!
@#48-she was already featured on regretsy. look in the very beginning posts, I think I saw her wayyy back there. This girl is for real…her store has been up since before regretsy started. I have a feeling she saw that she was featured, and is now a fan/follower Good sport, at least!
I went to college with kids who wore this kind of stuff. They said it was because they didn’t want to feed the clothing industry, but really we were all broke and didn’t know how to sew, and the only place to buy raw materials was the local secondhand store. They would totally have worn Anthropologie if they could have gotten away…
Dear Matt the photographer: Bonus points for straight-on, full length shots that are brightly lit (if a little harsh.)
Demerits for ignoring the background. The old black file cabinet, catfood bowls and – is that the edge of the litter box I see in the main pic? – are a tad distracting. You obviously have no shortage of bedsheets. Tack a couple together and make a solid background. And move your light stand out of the frame.
Out of all the crap in that lady’s store I think this one is the worst. Unless she’s trying to hide her penis I can’t figure out the placement of that thing in the front.
July 22, 2010 at 1:31 pm
The model looks really angry that someone made her wear those pants.
July 22, 2010 at 1:32 pm
If not LOVEing these pants is wrong, then I don’t wanna be right…
July 22, 2010 at 1:32 pm
Nice tan lines, used underwear girl.
July 22, 2010 at 1:32 pm
It says something when even the model looks disgusted.
July 22, 2010 at 1:33 pm
Is this from the Ringling Brothers collection, or Shriners?
July 22, 2010 at 1:33 pm
She needs a cheesecake.
July 22, 2010 at 1:35 pm
At first I was all “that house is too nice for hippies”. Then I saw the thumb-tacked fabric for curtains and knew I was home.
July 22, 2010 at 1:35 pm
Using the Golden Girls nightgowns for pants is not the recipe for LOVE. More like birth control.

Petticoats + shrooms + “free spirit” – taste x infinity to the power of Yoga = these pants.

‘These fabrics are always filled with positive energy yada yada’ , not to mention snags , pilling, thread dangles,nylon glare, schmutz, sweat stains , dried deoderant………
July 22, 2010 at 1:47 pm
“Vintage” now apparently means “Purchased new at Sears Roebuck in 1987 and subsequently sent to languish in a bin at Goodwill”
July 22, 2010 at 1:49 pm
Aren’t you supposed to wear the lampshade on your head?
seriously, in Mumbai, this outfit would either get you groped or publicly stoned
July 22, 2010 at 1:49 pm
Y’all think these are bad, hahahahahha. They’re the best things in the whole fucking shop ….all downhill from these gems.

Ya know, when I have random crap laying around my house, I have a garage sale or take it to a thrift shop. No one needs this nasty crap.
July 22, 2010 at 2:05 pm
“LOVE the light pink and baby blue against the khaki green!”
I can think of ways those colors could work together. This isn’t one of them.
July 22, 2010 at 2:11 pm
I’ll give her $20 to spray those things with Endust and run a few laps around my living room.

July 22, 2010 at 2:25 pm
It’s not vintage if no one in history has ever worn this piece of garbage.

What hippie has $85.00?
When I saw this I screamed in horror.
July 22, 2010 at 2:33 pm
Thanks Mrs. Vagoo I just looked at that hoodie.
Evidently, this is what happens when LOVE goes bad.

the Seller seems to think the key to success is placing NAMASTE in every listing. Why not Steampunk Namaste – NO NO NO!!!
and btw “Namaste bitches”
July 22, 2010 at 2:48 pm
$85!?!?!? The only excuse for wearing these would be if you couldn’t afford/steal ANY other leg-coverings including Wal-Mart sweatpants.
July 22, 2010 at 2:49 pm

It’s kind of funny that none of those hippies actually has hips. Not a requirement, I guess.
July 22, 2010 at 3:10 pm

LOVE falling over constantly? Try these great pants! We guarantee that you will trip over yourself every time you try to stand up!
July 22, 2010 at 3:54 pm
What’s perhaps most frightening? The shop has 2 stars. {shudder}

Can we coin the term “goatsepunk” for stuff like this? If only she’d sewn hands on either side of the waistband….
