give me a break

i first saw this reported on gawker, but i had to also post something on it. i really can't believe that the new york times had an article in their style section about new yorkers committing serious fashion faux pas during the transit strike.

"This week the strike began amid below-freezing temperatures, inspiring a few clever style strategies, but mostly a troubling assortment of faux pas. Some of them, like what appears to be a sudden outbreak of studiously mismatched winter accessories, are inexplicable in a city that should be accustomed to dressing for long stretches of cold weather."

seriously nyt, if you thought you reached some lows with jayson blair and judith miller, think again.
