So, I was going to write an surprising (possibly hard hitting post) about how Hot Topic got good clothes all of the sudden (It’s like a buyer from UO got laid off and decided to take her style elsewhere?) … until the ridiculously cute overalls that sparked said post ran out of stock online (boo! you whore!) and since there is no way my hips would ever fit in a medium, even with zero percent body fat I’m super bummed. But, theres loads more cute stuff to find, even if I’m a little bitter. My cart includes some amazing studded flats, a crochet dress, denim vest, southwestern striped scarf, some overall shorts (this is like marrying a dependable guy, I’m settling here), a supernova or whatever printed wallet (the inner hipster in me creaming everywhere), some mint nail polish, and finally a Misfits jersey three sizes too big so I can pretend I have an awesome boyfriend who’s punk rawk and lets me steal his clothes. (Hey its hard to get out of that store without something with a band insignia on it, even if it is only online.) Can we pretend this never happened so I can go back to avoiding hot topic like the plague like I have since I turned 14? (except for that one time I really needed black nail polish.) P.S. They even changed their logo to something less emo.
