I hate that!"....Jeesh it's a blow to my fragile self- confidence.
Fashion is a personal choice, an opportunity for expression and artistic experimentation. We each have far too many problems of our own to be focusing our hatred on another person's style of dress. You don't know if they are living in poverty and must rely on church donations and free boxes, or perhaps have a medical condition that prevents them from dressing more fashionably.
Sorry, I don't mean to get all self-righteous and preachy here! Just wanted to add my perspective as a sick girl living below the poverty line
Completely agree. We are dead broke; all the nice things I have are due to gifts. And I'm recovering from anorexia (aka, my weight keeps changing) so I don't have much that fits and I can't afford replacements at every single size. I try to look "nice," but some days I barely manage "comfortable." My style has always been a little unique, too.

I rise in defense of hoodies everywhere! lol They make me feel safe. Not much else does that.
