The Spring Cleaning Edition of Fashion -- things by Odilia Rivera-Santos

Fashion: 
The closet is full of clothes you've never worn but they're getting worn-looking from you caressing the fabric as if to ask "Should I wear you even though you don't look good on me?'
Some designs are not meant for everybody and do more harm than good. Did you ever find yourself in a public place thinking "What the fuck am I wearing?"
This is a special kind of hypnosis that a designer does in which the buyer visualizes the person for whom the outfit was designed even as the mirror screams "NO! This shit looks crazy on you!"
You buy it, take it home, wear it out and perhaps, the realization hits as you walk by a store window and see your own reflection without the hypnotic beat of indecipherable music played at the store or the salesgirls warmly nodding in the fitting room. 

Sizes - do those pants fit?
You bought a pair of tiny jeans because you were going to live on green vegetable juice and love, but you got hungry. Those little jeans are torturing you now. You can barely get them past your knees. Come on, donate them to a thrift store.

Cutting off your toes to put your shoes on?
Extreme measures to wear what is 'in' are a sign of insecurity, not being fashion forward. Self-mutilation has its drawbacks.
There was a news story about women having special foot surgery to remove toes, which don't fit in their favorite tall, pointy designer shoes. Apparently, there's no mental health screening of surgeons in New York City or of their patients.
