HOLE-y cow

There seems to be a trend circulating around Sonoma State's campus that has been driving me crazy.  It may be because after seeing it once, I was sincerely peeved, and have been on the lookout ever since--or it could be the fact that I am looking for ridiculous things people wear on campus for this blog.

Regardless, why do people feel the need to wear shoes/clothes with big fat holes in them?  I'm not talking a little moth hole only the well trained eye will see, I am talking larger than a quarter, definitely not meant to be there hole.  

The first offender I saw last week on my way out of class.  The girl was wearing the ever so popular cognac colored leather boots; however, they had a gaping hole right in the front.  I could see 3 out of her 5 toes spilling out of the shoe, not to mention poking out of the hole of her sock.  I thought common sense would kick in once a small hole began to wear on the boots, but when your foot is about to spill out all over the pavement, there is no question that it is time to put them to rest.  

Even worse, I recently saw a girl with a hole in the butt of her leggings.  It was already bad enough that you could see her ass through the spandex fabric--which is not designed to appropriately cover those body parts anyway--there was a dime sized hole exposing bare skin!  I wanted to give her my sweater to tie around her waste, in hopes of sparing other innocent passer-bys on campus.  If your going to be experimenting with leggings, wear a long enough shirt to cover your butt and the camel toe that will inevitably arise, as well as check for holes...come on people.

I apologize if the holey clothes are by any means a reflection of the individuals financial state--we are all struggling college students.  However, some of the offenders I have seen lately are clearly not struggling by the looks of other parts of their outfits and accessories.  So why the holes?  Learn to retire your clothes once they get holes in them...common sense.
