Things that aren't clothes

The weather is changing, for the worse, and it's brought out some interesting interpretations on "winter wear" particularly in the U-District, not even getting into the popularity of hosiery with back seams worn with shorts or summer skirts, which I don't really understand - why bother with managing a back seam (which does require some supervision to keep straight) if you're not really bothering to manage/supervise any other aspect of your person? Turns out, back seams definitely look trashy instead of sexy when paired with a bubble skirt AND running shoes. I surmise the thought process was, hmm, I'm cold and looking frumpy - backseam tights to the rescue!

But, more to the point of not clothes:
A stuffed Finding Nemo-type fish is not a hat. I get that the furry caps with ears and sometimes tails and claws that look like muppet pelts on occassion are actually hats, but I'm really not sure that Finding Nemo ever had a line of stuffed toys/hats. Maybe they did. Maybe this person was just being innovated with leftover stock. Still wasn't a hat.

Control-top pantyhose are not pants. The darker portion around your nether region is not intended to replace or otherwise usurp the role of a skirt, pants, shorts or the bottom half of your dress (you know, the part that covers your nether regions). There, it needed to be said.

FYI, guy that plays with the glass ball in front of different classroom buildings is still shirtless at 43 F, in a cold drizzle.
