Mufti Day is kind of a weird thing for me.
I love it because:
. It gives you a chance to express yourself
. You can have fun, because it seems like a more relaxed experience
. Conversation points
But yet I hate it because:
. Everyone wears the same stuff: what's fashionable. I think I saw al least fifteen of the very same varsity jacket that I was about to wear this morning, and ten rose-pink knit jumpers.
. The designer con(spiracy): I mean, seriously, look at this top/dress thing:
The colour is alright, but the cut and ruching at the front would just be so unflattering to anyone over the age of seven.
Now, what if I told you it was Abercrombie and Fitch?
Immediately, half the people in my year's opinion would change from 'Ew' to 'That must have cost loads: Therefore, I love it.'
I mean, do people wear these £100 gilets just tp prove that they do, indeed, have £100 spare to spend on such impractical stuff as gilets? They keep your core warm, sure, but you should just get a nice coat instead of a ridiculously unflattering thing which makes your body look about 10 metres by 100 metres, and your arms like sticks? Not good.
And also, Mister Jack Wills. This is for you. Why do all your clothes say 'Fabulously British' on them, when the labels inside clearly say that it's 'Made in China'? Surely something so expensive should be handmade by grannies in the countryside, not machines in China? What are you paying for, aside from materials and labour?
I'll tell you.
You're paying about £80 for that tiny little embroidered ostrich with a top hat and walking stick.
