Why are these sold out?
Filed under: Fashion, Celebrity, Best of the Season, Hot or Not
I just had a moment that had to be shared ... I was innocently perusing Urban Outfitter's website looking for some great bikinis for summer when I saw these monstrosities. Not are only are they a pair of hideous high waisted shorts, but they are sold out. I mean thank goodness no one else can have them BUT many, many people out there already do.Who do we blame for these as Urban puts is "4-pocket denim shorts cut super-short with an extra-high rise. Trimmed at the high waist with a button closure. Finished with contrast stitching throughout and cuffed hems. Zip fly with button closure." pants? Do we blame Mischa Barton or do we blame some hard partying junior designer who may have received an unwarranted raise do to the success of these awful shorts?
I need to blame someone!
Style Dashers and Dashettes I ask you ... would you wear these shorts? How about if someone paid you $20? Okay, $20 isn't enough ... how about $100? I need answers.

They may not actually be "sold out." My experience with the urban outfitters website is that some items are not really "sold out." A sweater caught my eye, and I contemplated getting it. In going back to the site page over the course of one week, that item went from sold out to available several times. Perhaps it's a sales gimmick?

the last time i saw someone wearing these kinds of shorts, was my gramma....
anyone who buys these CLEARLY does not have a sence for fashion and will wear anything that u.b. comes out with.

You have got to be a complete ding-dong to want to follow this "trend". My god ladies, they are not even attractive at all and they sure as hell can't be comfortable. Pair these with your Crocs and you've got yourself one humdinger of an outfit. Ooh, maybe they are wearing these to try and cover up their last trend following mistake...the lower back tramp-stamp. Ya know, it would cover it though. LOL wow.
