BYT Empire

Brightest Young Things


Fashion is fleeting. The moment you think you’ve got it, it flashes by. Therefore from today on we follow flashy passersby at their heels for five minutes to find out where they shopped, how much  their clothes cost and ask them five quick questions about styling. And then we feed them to the lions (you). Hit or miss?

We pick by guess and by gosh.  No particular scheme. No particular price range. No particular beauty standards.  Just a style that for any reason caught our eye.

Judith, 53, happy grandma

Why her? A whole outfit for less than 60 bucks! I loved her poise and her self-assuredness with her clothes.  And yes -  the Obama bag got me.

BYT: How much time do you spend in front of the mirror?

15 minutes maximum. I have gained some pounds around the hips recently so I only peer in the mirror for a second.

BYT: What is fashion?

Clean, comfortable, indestructible outfits. Since  I have seven grand children, I define fashion as Clothes That Survive.

BYT: What’s the perfect outfit for you?

One that doesn’t get ripped on a playground and at the same doesn’t embarrass my sons at their office. I love dresses, but didn’t have many occasions to wear them recently.

BYT: Your opinion on skinny jeans?

Skinnies are for skinnies. Except black tight pants – they suit everyone.

BYT: Do your clothes have a message?

Yes, my Obama bag says: Go Green! Screw plastic bags, bring your own.

God loves a cheerful giver.

I love her. The answer to the last question displays her true fashion sense.

I have to agree, I love her. I love that she can put together an outfit that is simple and cute but also so durable. And cheap too! The Obama bag is the finishing touch

I don't understand why young people love Obama so much. His policies are going to saddle us and our children with monstrous debt, not to mention compromise our freedoms. Welcome to the nanny state, kids.

Her outfit is practically awesome except these bleak, a little medieval-looking boots, and pants. Consider something livelier.
