the road to hell is lined with horrible outfits

I didn't catch onto "Sex in the City" until the second to the last season. One major reason that I avoided watching the show early on were the outfits that Carrie Bradshaw wore. They were so ugly and never color coordinated. Many of the individual pieces were nice but when put together she looked like a drug-den mother at a clown training academy. I like SJP as an actress and she seems lovely during her interviews. (I love the way that Charlotte dressed and I understand that the costuming was reflective of the characters and not the talent of Patricia Field.) But C.B.'s outfits were horrid. The blind love of her outfits by seemingly normal people was truly astounding.

Now we are left with the after effect of C.B. & S.I.T.C. Grown women are now fluttering around the streets of America dressed as emaciated hobos. These horrible fashion decisions are reinforced by fashion magazines and websites. These pictures were featured on Elle's website under the title "Street Chic" and I think, prove my point.
