Current fashions are ugly-I blame Paris Hilton

No, right post. I doubt very much that this current fashion trend fits anyone.

oh, you were just trying to be “witty”. :rolleyes:

So you’re asking for a cite proving to you her opinion on what she likes to wear? After all, she never made any factual statements. She said “…perfect for me…”.

Further, she made it clear she wasn’t talking about all of it, but that which she described in her post.

Hell yes, and even Ebay can be good for clothing shopping if you’re willing to risk not being able to try stuff on. My girlfriend recently got two absolutely STUNNING '60s mod dresses off of Ebay for relatively cheap.

Well, since we’re in the pit, screw you, and you too Fire Engine.

I don’t care who she is or what she looks like or that in her opinion she looks good in the described fashions. In my opinion, nobody looks good in those things so I’m disagreeing with her. Fer’chrisakes, ruffles, people, ruffles!

Around here all girls seem to dress like rejects from the 80’s.
Legwarmers? Neon-colors?
Now the thing I hate most is knee-high boots over blue jeans.
That is just the stupidest look ever.

Oooh, I remembered one more thing that kept me from finding any tops…Anything I found that had sleeves, the sleeves were so short and tight that as soon as I put the top on, the sleeves would wink up into my armpits. I hate short tight sleeves!

After awhile, I started looking around and really paying attention to what other people in the mall were wearing, since everything on the hangers was crap…lo and behold, everyone looked awful. I didn’t see a single person wearing anything that looked even remotely attractive. In fact, no one appeared to be wearing clothes that fit. People were either wearing clothes so baggy they had to hold onto them, or clothes that were so skin-tight they were bulging out of them. :frowning:

No. Actually, the stupidist fashion look EVER is the tube top-like, hanky hemmed dress thing over ratty blue jeans (or new blue jeans or even plain ole slacks for that matter, it ALL looks horrific).

Good God, who dreamed that hideous combination up? Not even shoulder pads can beat that for FUGLY. Not neon, not leg warmers. I’m afraid that style tops anything the 80s could possibly have dreamed up for stupid, clumsy, unflattering ,and just plain ridiculous looking “fashion”.

Thank you, CanvasShoes. My mother came this close to buying me one of those against my will!

Still worse are those terry cloth tube-top things that are tight on the boobs, but loose the rest of the way down. Attention to girls wearing those: No matter how bone-thin you are, you are going to look at least 6 months pregnant while wearing one of those!! If you are even mildly chubby, you’re going to look like you’re carrying twin past their due date!! I’ve not seen one person that was able to get away with wearing one of those, unless they were actually pregnant.

And this is just a general fashion gripe, not really having anything to do with current fashion. Too-tight clothing does NOT make you look thinner. It only makes what fat you do have spill over the tops and sides of your clothes, emphasising it! Not pretty. If you simply broke down and bought the jeans one size larger, you’d actually look a lot thinner. I’m sorry, but a denim sausage is just not sexy.

I had the same experience as the OP this weekend, myself. I’m 38, not a teenager, or an old woman. Even things that would have looked good on me shape-wise were in HIDEOUS sherbert/clown colors. Blech! I like color in my wardrobe, but come on folks! Everthing was either way over the top or so subdued that just looking at them aged me 10 years. On the other end of the spectrum were the things I liked, in colors that flattered me, but were waaay out of my price range. Sigh. I hate clothes shopping.

OUCH…dammit…choking here!!!

denim sausage…I can hardly wait to be able to use that in real life. That’s too funny.

Re: the “denim sausage” effect badbadrubberpiggy mentioned:

Sighting. (not to mention another fashion travesty, those…boots.)

I like hankerchief hemlines, but the bodice should be very simple-not shirred to within an inch of its life. It looks less Hilton, more Flapperesque.

“Fashion is the only thing so ugly it has to completely change every three months.” (I forget who said it.) In other words “That’s Hot.”

I’ve gotten some really great things from Boden…It’s an English clothier that now has a catalog in the U.S…I love their stuff - stylish, current, but still relatively classic.

Oh man, That’s so kind of you. You’ve made my day! :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

But: I’ll explain in email, okay?

THANK YOU. You’re the best. :cool:

Yes! Yes! Yes! They aren’t cheap, but the quality is wonderful.

yup, Yup, YUP…You got it. And that’s that kind of jean on a SLIM girl.

Little black dress at little price.
