I must apologize, I've been slacking, and have not done a Do's and Don'ts on the street in far too long. They are just somewhat labor intensive, and I let that keep me from sharing my priceless wit with you all, and for that I am sorry.
Anywho, the Do's and (mostly) Don'ts are back. I spent a lovely evening having drinks on the street recently and there was thankfully plenty of fashion challenged fodder. Hope you enjoy, and I promise to update with more soon!
Dear Lord this picture makes me uncomfortable. The rolls. I mean, wow. What on earth is this woman thinking? Does she have no one in her life to call attention to such an egregious faux pas. I mean, forget Spanx, let's just start with something that actually fits you, and go from there. Look, we can't all be a size two, but we can clearly make a bit more effort than what's occuring here. I think I'm so stunned by her that I sort of fell into liking the girl next to her, even though she's having clear bra strap issues. I just can't stop looking at the rolls, it's like a moth to a flabby flame.
This woman isn't as bad as the first. In fact if the first woman wore something with a bit more structure like this, those rolls would be much better contained. Still, I take issue with this pseudo and short sleeve t-shirt combo. It's like she didn't really care about how she looked when putting most of the ensemble together, and then all of a sudden thought this strange vest would elevate the rest of the look. It just seems incongruous to me. Otherwise, she's really not bad though.
Is this the best look ever? No. But, sometimes you gotta take some fashion savvy where you can get it. And the fact that this skirt matches the floral top rather well, and is accessorized with what looks like an unber-chic Goyard bag makes it a Do in my book.
You know what term I've been making use of a lot lately? Douche Bag. I keep finding more and more guys who seem to personify this term, and I think you'll all agree this guy does as well. I mean, the fedora with the I think 5 layers of tops I'm seeing here and the lame jeans all qualify, but look closer and you'll truly get what I mean. Do you see that thing hanging from his right hip? That little bag. You know what that is? It's a Crown Royal bag. Crown Royal. As in the whiskey for dudes who don't have enough swagger for Courvoisier. And this guy has a bag of it hanging off his belt. Douche. Bag.
You know, if I stop and think about it, this snarky little blog I work on can really be really be, like Oprah-aha fulfilling. I mean, just when you think you've seen it all, you find people can still surprise you. It's hard to tell from this photo, but this chick's top is sheer teal lace. And what was she wearing under it? That's right, a black lace bra, all set against her lovely, pastey white skin. Then she paired a floral patterned skirt that looks very much like wall paper along with bright red ultra-suede shoes. Wow, do people never cease to amaze me. Thanks Oprah.
This shade of blue is actually quite nice and soothing, so nice this woman got a tad bit carried away with it. Is it me, or does she kinda look like a super-hero in partial costume? And let's talk a bit about fit. Look at how tight that top is across the boob-age region. Ladies, when you put on a tight, spandexy fabric like this, and you think no one will notice your bra line, stop lying to yourself. We all notice. Especially in a light color like this otherwise lovely robin's egg blue.
First off this little chick was out with her family for a casual evening, automatically making these tawdry shoes that don't even fit her feet innapropriate. What truly pushes this moment over the edge is the even tawdrier french pedicure. Just cheap, cheap, cheap. The sad thing is I think this chick thinks she's got it going on in her heels and pedicure, but honey, you ain't.
