What's With All the Ugly?

I went shopping yesterday and stopped by the BP section (Juniors) at Nordstroms and kept thinking to myself "everything here is a damn mess!" (excuse the language, but it is necessary!). This whole "back to the sixties" thing bought us some cuteness - the mod dress, the high boots. But what is with all the ugly patterns? It's not even attractive - my dad calls attractive people "easy on the eyes" and these tops and dresses definitely were not. Here are some of the worst offenders (also brought to you by Reference):

Ew.

What the....?

It's almost like a Christmas sweater dress.

Recently, I have been totally turned off by these kinds of clothes and find myself lusting after Banana Republic fall collective - so chic and yummy. I just ordered this gorgeous dress that I can't wait to arrive. Isn't this so much better than all that sixties craziness?
