retro gone wrong: the sev

The girls over at Go Fug Yourself have a deep hatred for Chloe Sevigny (who they've dubbed "The Sev"), dating back to the creation of their site (that's her in the white Wayfarers -- not bought at Target -- at the top right corner of the masthead). They've laid off in recent years, though they still feature her wacky sartorial antics from time to time. The latest is fodder for today's edition of Retro Gone Wrong:


Heather ragged on her for the granny sandals-and-socks combo, which is definitely heinous. But I'd like to commend Chloe for tightening her belt in these tough economic times. Does she go out and buy a new sundress to wear to Coachella? No, not The Sev. Instead, she digs into the back of her closet and dons her favorite outfit from 1994.

I distinctly recall having several dress-and-t-shirt combos just like this, circa grade four. My favorite was a faux-denim number with a plastic pink heart sewn on the front. I usually wore it with a light pink or white t-shirt, but I like how Chloe just goes for it here with the black. Way to make a statement, Sev.
