What's with these pseudo homeless 22 year olds in Wicker Park herded against opportune street corners (north/milwaukee/damen) donned in Khaki, clever hats, and $400 worth of tats and piercings? And why are they trying so hard to be so dirty? Is that real dirt? Did the buy it at Urban Outfitters....is it a loose powder or a compact? Here's $2.25, take the purple line up to Wilmette and use your parents shower!

Having spent many years working on Oak Street (specifically for Joan Weinstein) I fully understand that styles are cyclical. But what is with this dumpy, messy resurgence of metallic flats, especially on Lincoln Park College students (especially the 5’4” and shorter ones). Not good. It just exacerbates that already overplayed “OH MY GOD IM TOTALLY LATE FOR CLASS!” look.

Holy shit, it’s 8pm and your at a bar! Put on some f---ing heels, brush that greasy birds nest and try some damn Bare Esceuntuals for a change. Zits and worn out flats from DSW do not make you look “more approachable.”
