I just started taking some fashion courses at SMC this week and yesterday I had the most ridiculous experience when I walked into the room where a class was being held. I was wearing a pale pink, shoulder padded very 1940's dress with white buttons going up the middle, a white belt, white shoes. My hair was just back in combs. I was so surprised at how little these people knew about fashion history (being in fashion courses). A few people were like "Oh look at her, she's so stylish! What do you call that? It's like 60's right?" And I never know what to do in these situations because I don't want to sound snobbish but it's REALLY difficult when people are asking you really stupid questions like this so I was just like "Oh thank you, it's 1940's actually"
The one said "Like I love Lucy?" and I was like " Not quite.."
Then they asked " Like Hairspray?? Oh wait, that's 50's too"
and I said "Actually that's 60's..but really it was the 80's"
Then I got the "So what made you dress like this today? You just felt like dressing up?"
I smiled politely and said "No, this is just how I dress"
Then they "ooh'd" and "ahhh'd" and talked amongst themselves for a while before going back into drilling me about "What people who dress like that are called"
I'll tell you, it was quite irritating.
