Fashion 101

HUSBAND: Why don't you wear those trendy pants girls wear nowadays?

WIFE: What pants?

HUSBAND: Those pants which are knee-length. A bit shorter than capri pants. I see many girls wearing them.

WIFE: Oh yeah, those. Uso nga 'yon.

HUSBAND: If they're uso, then why haven't you bought a pair during your shopping rounds? I thought you're a fashionista.

WIFE: My dear husband, you're confusing a fashionista for a fashion victim.

(Husband prepares to listen to a lesson in Fashion 101.)

WIFE: What you were describing is a fashion victim - someone who goes with all the latest trends, not knowing if they fit her. While a fashionista is someone who chooses which trends to ride on, knowing that the fashion enhances her over-all look. Or better yet, a fashionista is someone who dictates the trend.

HUSBAND: Okay. So why do you think those pants don't fit your fashion sense?

WIFE: They make my legs look shorter than they already are.

HUSBAND (snickers): Hahaha!

WIFE: Don't you laugh. You've got short legs, too.

End of discussion.

Thanks for the info. Another blogger referred to them as "Korean pants". I guess it was in reference to those Koreanovelas showing Koreans wearing this fashion trend.
