> [@Darth\_Nader](#): > > [Regretsy](http://www.regretsy.com/category/clothing/). Many cheers for linking that blog. I now own this t shirt [http://images.regretsy.com/huac.jpg](http://images.regretsy.com/huac.jpg) (Hello, House for Un-American Activities Committee) although I bought mine in pink. My payola lecture may never be the same. ---

Another vote for the drop-crotch pants. That rear view is just scary. Well, this won’t be much of a contribution, and no pic, but for something that masses of people were actually wearing the last few warm seasons - these are garments something like tank tops, but the backstraps are knotted between your shoulder blades and the armholes are really large. It’s kind of the female version of a wifebeater. Most women wear a tube top under them, thankfully, but some didn’t wear enough, and I’ll leave it at that. ---

Oh those drop-crotch pants are \*nothing \*compared to [this](http://world.desigual.com/#/woman/26/)one! I work next to this store in Manhattan and their clothes are hideously ugly while at the same time being way overpriced. And the [men’s version](http://www.theverysimong.com/2010/11/wardrobe-obsessions.html), from the same store. ---

The worst thing was the huge knot in back. OK here’s a pic, but most persons don’t seem to wear it that well…it’s been standard Walmart-going gear the past few years. > **[Sign in - Google Accounts](https://accounts.google.com/v3/signin/identifier?continue=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blogger.com%2Fblogin%3Fu%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fluluaddict.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F06%2Fpics-of-knotty-tank-knotted-new-gather.html&followup=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blogger.com%2Fblogin%3Fu%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fluluaddict.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F06%2Fpics-of-knotty-tank-knotted-new-gather.html&ifkv=AfYwgwVQBIff0Y2C0z3j7odT0QN97RFyurvOeL-8hzrVtTC_4nlp02377Fb0T3Y0g58RaMzIfSJdJA&passive=1209600&flowName=GlifWebSignIn&flowEntry=ServiceLogin&dsh=S-451527270%3A1758868750300756)** ---

> [@Jenaroph](#): > > Or: When I was a kid playing dressup, we’d sometimes wear one of my mom’s old sweatshirts as pants, with our legs through the sleeves and the neckhole as the crotch. This kinda looks like that. Oh my. That is _exactly_ what those pants look like. Thanks for the flashback, by the way… we did it once with a cashmere sweater of my mothers. It didn’t end well. ---

> [@causticsubstance](#): > > The sandals are just plain cute. They’re tough and utilitarian-looking (though admittedly there is no true function behind the design, but I have a soft-spot for shoes that look specifically designed for ass-kicking). Plus they add visual weight to one’s feet in an outfit. Yes, they make ankles look thick and fat. ---
