I love downtown Portland. Anytime I need some inspiration, I just take a walk around Pioneer Courthouse Square, and there's always something to look at and take pics of. Always. Take a look at this batch.
Sassy pants here doesn't look as awful in a picture because you can't quite get the sheen those ridiculous pants gave off. They are skintight so of course the perfect compliment to that is a white eye-let shirt with a bib front, right? But why stop there? How about some enormous sunglasses, huge earrings and some completely non-sensical FLIP-FLOPS? This is a classic example of style being something you are born with, not something you can buy as this woman has woe-fully tried to do. Although, her friend is much more sub-dued fashion wise, she still gets the don't crown for going along with that other look. Friends don't let friends leave the house looking like this.
And PS I don't care if that is a chic Vuitton Epi bag you're carrying, it doesn't save you from the shame of the upside down crown.
This one is simple, but apparently too complex for this young gent: Horizontal stripes absolutely do not go with vertical striped Madras patterns. Not to mention these colors are really wrong together as well. Simple khaki shorts from Banana Republic would have been perfectly fine.
This woman was almost a don't, but I'm feeling it. The polka-dots are chic and keep the eye looking up instead at her somewhat too tight leggings, so that's a smart visual cue. I also enjoy the tone on tone bag and watch but her letting it all hang out with those bright yellow shoes. Black, white and yellow is a fantastic combo, very modern, and I'm a believer in accessories being your big moment. If nothing else, you try looking this chic while standing at a CheeseSteak shack and see how you do.
Look at this chick's face, you can totally tell she knows her look is F'ed up! That jacket is too large and bulky, and the color couldn't be worse on her pale skin, but what really caught my eye was those pants. Unless this lovely bird grew two inches and lost fifteen pounds from the morning when she put this dreaded look on, then she is wearing the absolute wrong size for her body. The shame here is I bet you she has a darling figure, but just know idea how to work it. If you see this dear, please check back soon, I'm gonna be doling out some hot advice.
Sometimes I feel like I have to start donating to a charity to balance out all the good fodder I'm given. This one is just a head to toe disaster. The hair color, that head scratching black harness-y thing, the tank top, the fish-nets?! Actually, the skirt isn't to bad, but who can appreciate it lost in that see of wrong-ness. I need to write a big check to Doernbecher's for this one.
