Attention Hipsters...!


To those who are trying to make the most out of the Wayfarer's recent resurgence in popularity and the subsequent doom that all things cool eventually come to, the Wayfarer's time is up! As there is nothing unique and/or hip about southern sorority girls, you know something has become ubiquitous when they pick it up. So to my dismay (basically because I thought Wayfarers required skinny jeans, striped shirts and Kirsten Dunst at your side), I saw them everywhere this weekend during tailgating for yesterday's football game. And they are apparently filtering across other campuses as well. The pic below is not from my school. So even if it's only two campuses (which I doubt), the Hipsters of New York would be having an emo-cow.

There is something off about how these glasses have been worn for much of the past year and how these girls are putting them with sundresses and flip-flops that's giving me a bad case of cognitive dissonance. If this continues, it's Risky Business all over again (and we know how that turned out). Fashionista predicted the Wayfarers demise a few weeks back, and it now looks like it's oh so true.

Thank god. I kind of hated them anway!
