Today, as I got off the Go Train at Oakville onto the rainy platform, walking in front of me was a girl wearing a raincoat that came down to about her upper thigh. And out from under the raincoat emerged only bare legs. It looked like she was a stripper, about to do a ... raincoat show ... or something. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that she was wearing a very short skirt.

Walking towards the stairs, she spotted a friend of hers and squealed with delight. They ran up to each other and gave a hug.

Friend: What are you doing taking the Go Train?
Girl: Oh, I work on Bay Street now.

Don't act too surprised.

To be fair, apparently the rules of fashion say that unless your jacket is longer than your skirt, you're supposed to wear a cropped jacket. Maybe she just didn't have a long jacket...

I've be living by the idea that at 26 anything shorter than just above the knee is age-inappropriate. Maybe I need to re-think this.

I didn't see any jacket. Just a raincoat, legs, and the barest hint of a skirt between them.

I don't think age factors into it. I just think it's funny that 6-inch miniskirts are acceptable to bay street, but jeans aren't. To me it seems ridiculous, but then I've never understood fashion.
