I was perusing the interwebs the other day, and I came across this post about Kanye West and Kim Kardashian at fashion week events in Paris. Kim was wearing a black dress that just so happened to feature a huge, ugly, white flower embellishment–but, my friends, this random detail was NOT what caught my attention.
No, it was the fact that, much like Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, Kanye West and Kim K–or Kimye as they have unofficially been dubbed–were wearing matching outfits. No, I don't mean like, "Oh, we just stepped out and both happened to be wearing jeans and white t"-style coordination. I mean, full on, "Have your stylist talk to my stylist" matchyness was on display. Now, I can forgive Jelena (aka Justin and Selena) for this, because they are TEENAGERS, but fully grown adults–never that.
I'm not so much mad at them, cause, um, I don't really care enough to be mad, but I do have to make fun of them because it is just so INFANTILE. I mean, I could get down with the nameplate and initial jewelry (yet ANOTHER thing Kimye and Jelena have in common, hmmm–I'm sensing a pattern here) but dressing up and actively trying to match your boyfriend is just too lame.
My sister and I would refuse all of mother's efforts to dress us in matching outfits because we were our OWN PEOPLE and so are Kanye and Kim–so, please, just stop now, OK?
Who knows? Maybe I'm overreacting and other people don't think dressing up in matching outfits with your boyfriend is a bad idea. Let me know in the comments below, but until then, check out the silliness below…
