So today was my first day of the new semester at School, which I knew was going to come sooner than later but it's over and done with. Whilst walking in the rain with my jacket hood on, I went back and forth campus from class to class and noticed that this is where all the (as far as labels go) emo, hip hop, international (as in, not only from Asia), older, flamingly gay, so-cal, and different people go. I've noticed it when I entered school but it's San Francisco so what more could I ask for? This was the reason I decided on my school and it's the people that make the school more enjoyable. For me anyway. We have all sorts. Not like say, Berkeley, where it seems like everyone is kinda sorta normal. How boring is that?

Anyway, that wasn't the point of this post. Since it was raining and was cold in general, most people were decked out in their winter jackets. What stuck out in my mind was that on the train home, I saw some older folks wearing trench coats that weren't particularly flattering. Usually I'm not a stickler for fashion and all that, I didn't match today or any day. What people wear is their business but it must have been the drastic difference in demographics from school to the public or something since I was really aware of people, and the dowdy coats that hung off their body frames. There are better coats out there!

Take a page from the Europeans (Italians especially) and their winter wear - trim line and simple. I saw this one chica with a nice wool coat and she was rockin' it.
