Summer Wardrobe

I just read an article about what you MUST pack for a summer vacation. Truly this list makes no sense to me.

1. A pair of white jeans. I hate wearing jeans in the summer. It is way too hot. Maybe a pair of capris but not jeans.

2. A little black dress. Where is this person going on vacation? I know my usual vacations have no need for a little black dress. Of course most of my life doesn't require one either.

3. A maxi dress. You will never catch me in one of those. They never seem to look good on short people.

4. A scarf. The article states you can use to cover your arms or wrap it around like a sarong around your bathing suit. None of my scarves could do that and I don't think I would want to use it as a scarf again if I did that.

5. Flat metallic sandals. I might get this except I never find sandals that fit right. Everything has that stupid thong thing in them and I hate that. I am severely limited in choices.

6. A pair of shorts. Thank you. Finally something I can do. Of course they say in black or neutral color so you can dress them up or be casual. I don't have those.

I guess I'll be less than fashionable on my vacation. But since I am less than fashionable in life I won't take offense.

Fashion and Walmart

I know just the title makes you go what is she thinking. But you see some of the strangest things at Walmart. I used to always make sure to wear jeans instead of sweats because I didn't want to embarass myself there and then I realized that even in my sweats I looked better than half the people there. So I just wear what I wear around the house (as long as it matches).

Today I was there stocking up on supplies since we just got back from vacation. And not two minutes into the store I saw exactly what I was waiting for...a fashion disaster. I was in the cosmetic aisle and there was a woman probably in her 20's wearing pajama pants. Not just any pajama pants, but white fleece ones with big Mickey Mouse heads. She did have on shoes, not slippers, but the top she was wearing didn't match anything. Of course what could match those pants.

My first thought was darn I wish my had my camera so I could post this. Then I realized that I just couldn't take pictures of people at Walmart like I did at amusement parks. Sort of hard to explain that one to someone. And then I realized I DID have my camera. I had to talk myself out of taking it out of my purse. I need to come up with a reasonable excuse for taking photos of people at Walmart in future situations so I can post those photos.

Any ideas?

The fashion disasters just keep coming

These were all taken at Universal Studios. As they say in Bull Durham, That seems a little excessive for the Carolina League.

This look seems excessive with the pleated skirt with tassles, tights and boots. The waistband is exceptionally loud.

Knee high boots with four inch heals and the ruffled top. Club wear for sure.

I'm sorry this photo isn't loading all the way. All of the shoes aren't showing. But these three lovely ladies were together in cheetah tights, pleather looking tights and then the one on the right looks most normal with regular tights.

What not to wear part 3

Another day, another set of fashion disasters




This look was at the Santa Monica pier. It was cold and windy. Which of course always means wear cordoruy shorts, tights, and old tennis shoes.











This unfortunate outfit was on Rodeo Drive. The woman walking away had on tight leggings that looked like blue and white swirled denim. Definately a big no-no.

What not to wear Part 2

Oh the fashion disasters that were running around the San Diego Zoo. I couldn't get all of them but here is a nice sampling.

This one seemed really inappropriate. Huge fishnet stockings, brown boots, ruffled skirt. Perhaps she was going to go to a club after the zoo?














These caught my eye simply because they aren't shoes...they are slippers. I didn't know that was appropriate footwear to go to the zoo. Cute for home perhaps.













And this was the absolute worst one of all. Unfortunately she was standing in line with us for the tour bus so I couldn't get the complete outfit. But picture this: a shirt dress with red and white candy stripes, plaid tights and leopard shoes. She had a red hat on too. And then she took out a carrot wrapped in foil to eat. She had to be late teens or early twenties. I'm not sure what she was going for, but I think FAIL was stamped all over it.
