or, Just Because You Can, Concert Edition.
Tara and I just got home from the Darius Rucker/Rascal Flatts concert, at which we had lots of fun. Our original seats were lawn seats, and a word of advice to anyone attending a concert at the Ford Ampitheater who a) isn't drunk and b) doesn't want to spend the evening wearing some guy's beer--pay the extra $$ for regular seats. I'm sure that if I were still in college and skinny and could pull off the jean-skirt-white-tank-cowboy-boots-pigtails thing, it would be SO much fun. I could mingle with the 500 other girls wearing the exact.same.thing, and the fraternity douchebags with their spiked hair and popped collars. Oh, I miss college so much!
Not really.
We ended up being able to sneak into the regular seats for the Rascal Flatts portion of the concert, which was much preferable. The lawn seats did, however, afford us a spectacular view of the comings and goings of the other concert patrons, and oh MY. Just...oh my. Which brings me back to my original thought: Just because you can doesn't mean you should. I know, I've said it before, but apparently not everyone received the memo. So just to recap, here are some thoughts that occurred to me at tonight's event. Just a few things to remember when you're looking in the mirror before leaving the house to go out in PUBLIC.
1. If it's a shirt, it requires pants.
2. Tights are not pants. They are undergarments.
3. All boots are not created equal.
4. It's not particularly cute when a large group of girls all dress the same, intentionally or otherwise (though Tara and I did purchase the same Rascal Flatts concert tee, we will not be wearing them at the same time). It's not cute, it just makes you look like you have no imagination. Especially when the outfit you've all chosen to wear is just ugly.
5. If you have a tummy, at all, even a little one, please do not wear super low-cut jeans and tie up your shirt to show it to the world. Or, if you must, please at least stand up straight and suck it in.
6. Men: popped collars look ridiculous. Stop that.
7. Men again: Please leave your shirt on.
8. Back to the ladies: Please leave your shirt on.
9. All sundresses/maxi dresses were not created for all body types. Please wear the proper foundational garments with your dress (like, I don't know...a bra).
10. If your pockets are visible beneath your hemline, your shorts are TOO FREAKING SHORT.
That's it for now. I'm sure there's more, but it's late, and the one beer I had is making me sleepy. (Why only one beer, you ask? Because that ONE beer was EIGHT freaking dollars. EIGHT dollars for a beer. I could buy a whole SIX-PACK with eight bucks, if it wouldn't take me a year to drink that many.)
