Scrunchies In Public.
The last time I wore a scrunchy in public, I'm not sure it even counted as "public."
It was during second year of university, right before I cut off all my hair. But everyone knows that what you wear to and from classes in university isn't really "public." I mean, so often you'd just roll out of bed 20 minutes before your class started, brush your teeth and tie your hair back in a scrunchy. Then you were all set to go to class.
By the time I cut off my hair, started a newsroom internship and was well into my final two years, I no longer did the scrunchy thing. It was dated. And I was trying to mature myself and show the world, "I am ready to be taken seriously."
So the last time I wore a scrunchy in public was about 14 years ago. And like all trends, good and bad, it seems that the scrunchy is making a comeback.
Please take note... Hillary Clinton getting off a plane in a lovely blue suit with a white scrunchy in her hair...
EWW!
NO!
I feel very strongly about this. It is a definite "NO!"
Now, while I adore HC... Let's be honest. She's not the fashion icon that Mrs. O is. So why am I so freaked and thinking this is a potential resurgence for the scrunchy?
Well, it's because of attached poll to the photo on the HuffPo...
REALLY people? Over HALF of you think this is okay???????
I guess my biggest issue with the scrunchy is that it is too contrasting in color and informal. If you are at home... In yoga class... At the gym... A momma/teacher hanging around with her wild and crazy little kids... Or under the age of 18... Sure. This is okay to do.
But in public while otherwise dressed impeccably?
No.
