Being Unhip
Do you ever feel like you’re just really behind the times? I do. I guess a lot of it has to do with not getting out much any more and rarely watching TV. It’s kind of hard to keep up with the latest trends that way. I do have the internet, but most of my time online is spent working. Still, the good ole web is how I found out about Oakley watches. Is it sad that up until recently I thought they only made sunglasses?
I’m going to have to do better. Hopefully we’ll be getting our satellite service back soon, and I can do a better job of keeping up with these kinds of things. Not so much because I’m super-concerned about being in style, but because I always promised myself that as a parent I would try to keep up with all the trends and such. I’m not really worried about understanding them (because some of them I have caught onto have been pretty incomprehensible), but rather seeing what’s out there so I can better relate to Pumpkin. She’s already quite the little fashionista, so I’m going to have my hands full when she gets a little older.
I guess it’s kind of payback for when I was younger and had to have all of the coolest clothes. But my mom didn’t mind it too much. She didn’t “get” a lot of the stuff I wore, especially the funkier stuff, but she could relate because she had her own unique sense of style. Heck, she still does. I’m the one sporting the old jeans and t-shirts. It’s going to be really sad if I have to start going to my mom for fashion advice!
