No not destitute. Just a weird fashion statement. I walked behind these young men in Ventura, California and saw them get into their Volvo station wagon with 2 surfboards in the back it made me chuckle because it just didn’t all fit together visually….

The laundry pile look. Gotta love it. Slippers as outdoor footwear is big around here, too.

Too funny! I guess it only makes sense that slippers in the day would follow the pajama pants for daywear of a few years ago.

We see lots of them here in PP - backpackers away from home, away from mum and dad.

Hi Ellen. Until I read your (first) comment I could have sworn those guys were in Austin, Texas. Wintertime of course for the headwarmers.

Happy WW/WT!

It seems to be the fashion of the young these days. We have lots of these in our streets, and many of them come from wealthy families.

That’s California all right. Hey they look pretty good compared to most. Have a great WW.

yup - laundry problem!
on April 8, 2008 at 6:46 pm14 CrAzY Working Mom

Well, at least they are comfortable. Ya think???

That’s a great picture. It’s either a laundry problem, like Mama Grizzly says, or a typical display of fashion challenged people…

Happy WW!

these kids are surely still asleep when they get dressed each day. there’s the proof! otherwise, they just want to be remembered in a crowd. that’d they be, too.

happy ww. ☺

Ever notice how those “I don’t give a rat’s” looks are actually very carefully put together?

Happy WW.

And they probably think us older people are uncool & daggy. If cool means dressing like that then I’m proud to be uncool & daggy.

Just trying to make a statement, I think.
Have a great WW.

Still, the warmth… and colors of your photo are incredible. But, yeah, they’re comfortable!

Looks like they had nothing else to wear! Great shot! Happy WW

They’re surfer dudes, they don’t care what they wear, they are just in pursuit of the next “totally awsome wave, Man!” ; )
on April 9, 2008 at 7:39 am32 julie

They are in pursuit of the perfect wave
on April 9, 2008 at 8:21 am33 poor man's nicole richie

maybe they were just warming up those feet before they hit the surf board or maybe they got an IM that the waves will stand for just 15 minutes so they grabbed something to wear from the laundry basket and hopped out of the house in slippers. LOL

So, does this mean I can wear my pajamas as clothes now, because I would SO love that! At long last, to always be comforatable!

But ellen, what with the hat? Isn’t it a winter hat to be worn in cold weather? Ha! Can’t beat the young kids these days. Gotta love ‘em!

not destitute, devoid….of any fashion sense.

As long as they are comfortable, I guess it’s alright.

I wasn’t able to join WW this week but if you have time, I’d like to share photos of our visit to Ocean Adventure. Take care.
