We see a lot of that here where I live. I saw one girl the other day wearing a white belly top and a pair of shorts with the words “I’m Nasty” on the butt. She looked like she was 12ish,maybe 13. Fionn–that girl must be related to all the girls around here who think wearing super-super-low cut jeans to show off their thongs is cool. I swear to god I’ve never SEEN so many thongs in public before! Then there are some girls that I wonder if they are wearing underwear at all because the supersupersuper low rise jeans are SO low that they hit them JUST above the crotch area and their pubic bone is almost completely visible.Both front and back. Excuse me…I wanted to see somebody’s crack I’d watch a porn video,TYVM.
There is also one girl who regularly visits our store and she makes me wanna hurl every time. She is not extremely overweight but just overweight enough to have a roll of flab sticking out over her low-rise jeans, which disgusts me no end.
Also…when did it become trendy for young women (no matter the bra size!)to run around sans bras with only those little spandex-type camisole tops on? I am fairly well-endowed myself and just the thought of walking around, my chickies bouncing up and down with NO support like that makes me cringe.
IDBB
Okay, I’ll admit it: I like that look. I’ve got nothing against twiggy-lookalikes, but given a choice, I’ll always pick the one who looks more fun to roll around on. [/tmi]
I really just wanted to know if it’s still okay for me to wear loud aloha shirts with my Doc Martens’…
There’s a bar in Pennsylvania where we play the mullet pool. My friend Kevin’s the best- he just walks through this sea of smoke, flannel, and metal-and-country music saying, “Excuse me, mullet. Pardon me, mullet. Out of my way, mullet!” No one ever catches on. Thank God.
Darth Nader,I don’t think IDBB is complaining about the lady’s weight per se, but about her choice of low-rise jeans, presumably with a shirt short enough to let her belly show. And speaking as a size 14, I think there is a certain weight as which one’s shirt should always meet one’s pants or skirt. It’s about the same weight as that which decrees that one must not wear track pants with big block letters on one’s ass. I hate those on everybody, actually. They’re clearly saying, “Hey! Look at my ass!” But my husband says they’re really just getting in the way of the ass, like an ugly billboard blocking a scenic view.
Darth–I am not complaining about her size. I am no twig myself. But the fact that she chooses to wear low-rise jeans which barely come up over her koochiehoochie is what bothers me. THere ARE jeans out there which aren’t low rise, ya know. And girls of my size,unless they are extremely fit and actually look GOOD in ultrasuperlowrise, asscrack baring jeans,should stick to regular jeans like Levi 501s,Wranglers,etc.
Also spotted another fashion victim this morning whilst retrieving my trashcans. Guy comes walking down the road,little bitty doggy on the end of a leash. Man is wearing jeans with more holes than fabric and a muscle shirt that barely covered his large belly with all his flab hanging out. He topped this with a pair of those giant mirror sunglasses and a very funky looking, faded visor-cap thingie. As he walked by, I noticed he also had a very greasy, ratty, nasty looking mid-back length pony tail. Eew.
White pumps with nude/tan hosiery ANYTIME is a no- no IMHO. In fact, white pumps/high heels anytime is horrid. (went out with the 80’s).
Mullets. Ah yes. My hubby, friends and I usually count the number we see if we’re in public.
Once I saw an entire mullet family! At Kings Island. The mom and dad had a mullet. The 7 year old, the 3 year old, and the toddler in the stoller had a mullet as well. smacks head
I guess to each his own. But they just don’t look good. They really are horrible. Esp. when subjecting a small child to a mullet. What are these people thinking. Ahhh, never mind.
Long hair on a women (middle aged) and her hair is THIN! It does not look good. Feathering it won’t help, either. Having the imfamous “Eighties A-Frame” for your bangs won’t give you volume. Either you have good hair, and can wear almost any style, or you have bad/thin hair. Make the necessary adjustments please. You will look much, much better.

I work for a big corporation. A guy came in wearing a suit, tie, expensive Italian shoes, and NO FUCKIN’ SOCKS. And sunglasses. Worked all day like that. I’d have sent him home.
The strangest fashion horror I ever saw was on a Denny’s waitress in Portland, ME, about 10 years ago. She had on white sweatsocks with sneakers, but had rolled the socks down until they made little doughnuts around her ankles, kind of like foot condoms. That’s not the bad part. The bad part was: she also had on “suntan” colored pantyhose, OVER THE FOOTCONDOMS!! My sister and I are still trying to puzzle this one out.
The mother of a friend of mine in HS used to wear denim skirts with poofy things under neath to make the skirt stand out (petticoats???) with longsleeved western style shirts,white hose and…oh god the horrorwhite highheeled granny boots.EEEW!
–Band Name!
I’ve seen lots of people wear sneakers with suits. If they are wearing clean sneaks that look new, sometimes it’s ok. But a lot of times I notice they are wearing godawful nasty throw them away sneaks that make them look terrible.
The other night while talking to one of our neighbors out in the driveway I did a doubletake. Three girls,between the ages of abou 16-18,walked down the street in nothing but teeny binkinis and those hideous sandals with the six inch wooden platforms. I wondered where they’d come from and where they were going and WHO the hell let them out dressed like that. On a weeknight. In the suburbs for godsake! And why would their parents let them traipse around like that all over the place.I realize that it is hot in Texas but there is no need to run around in nothing but a teeny bikini that barely holds ya in.
Also…I noticed this a LOT at the mall the other day. I guess some girls are too lazy to be arsed to put on a bra because they were wearing bikini tops that tied around the neck UNDER their thin little camisole tops.What’s up with THAT?Not only do you most likely get NO support for the chickies (which you will regret later…trust me on this)but it looks really incredibly stupid as well.
A few weekends ago, I was walking around downtown Naperville, IL with a friend. We went into a shop by the Riverwalk. The shop had a mish-mash of everything, from First Communion jewelry and rosaries to decorative glassware and gourmet foods. They had a baby alcove, too. Up on the wall of the baby alcove was a pink onesie on display. In hot pink letters it said: “If you think I’m cute, you should see my Daddy!”
My firend didn’t see it. I told her about it when we left. Her reaction was the same as mine: “EEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!”
I think infant wear that hints at incest is grounds for a fashion felony.
Have you noticed…but for someone who, by her own admission, is interested in men of a rather dangerous persuasian, you’re quite conservative? Or either really really catty…or maybe you’re about to start your period and the sight of a potentially bloated person is anathema to you.
I wear tank tops/camisoles quite a bit, with no bra. Mainly because I never wear a bra (tool of the patriarchy and all that). I am small enough to pull it off, but even if I wasn’t, I think I’d go around like that all day just to piss people like you off.
I just feel like the onesie is the baby saying, “Gee, my dad is very good looking.” It’s setting up this whole sexual dynamic between daughter and father that makes me uncomfortable. It just creeps me out.
Even if you don’t get the hint at incest thing out of that, it’s just so damn gooey it’s grounds for a fashion arrest.
I don’t remember the name of it. It was near the public library, on a corner, about a block down from a nice coffee shop and right across from the beginning of the Riverwalk. I think there are two mosic tiles benches right across from it, too. It’s definitely worth a look.
I saw a woman a little while ago (thankfully only from behind) who was definitely committing multiple fashion crimes.
For starters, there was her jacket. It was pink fake fur, and all I could think when I saw it was that someone had started raising Care Bears for their pelts, because it appeared to have the same qualities as stuffed animal “fur”. Plus it was so big I’m pretty sure it made her appear to be roughly twice the width she normally would be.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, hanging down from underneath the jacket was a faded floral dress/skirt (which I will admit looked very similar to a dress I had when I was about 12). Okay, maybe that part wasn’t too bad, but it was over…
Lime green leggings! Yes, lime green leggings, which looked just lovely with the Care Bear-pink jacket. And to finish it all off, fuschia socks with sandals.
And girls of my size,unless they are extremely fit and actually look GOOD in ultrasuperlowrise, asscrack baring jeans,should stick to regular jeans like Levi 501s,Wranglers,etc.
