First off, what’s up with the length? You can’t wear this as a dress, which means you’re forced to wear it with jeans. Or pants. Or leggings. Which is frightful. Secondly, drawstring and zipper? Fur hood and sleeveless? This garment has some serious multiple personality disorder.

Truth be told, I started the day with a vendetta against snakeskin. I was standing innocently at my busstop when I spied a woman next to me, dressed entirely in business casual but for her skirt, which was a calf-length masterpiece of roses over snakeskin-printed silk. Seriously. No lie. I’m not entirely sure if that is a sin worse than wearing tights with shorts, or shorts with heels (only acceptable if you are Beyonce), but it’s pretty damn close.

Not OK

Well. The floral print blouse certainly is interesting — it’s a shame that it’s nearly obscured by a vest made from the cobwebs of spiders on steroids. What really intrigues me, though, are the mismatched earrings… One of which appears to be a bunch of fake grapes. Yum?

What exactly is that belt holding up?

I wasn’t going to mention the clashing & rather (in comparison) Lilliputian-looking purse, or the possibly snake-skin high heels, or the tiara, or the Bluetooth headset which looks kind of like a demonic, brain-sucking hot pink chile pepper. I was going to write about the weird cut of the top, but it hit me: it’s a jumpsuit. It’s a one-piece jumpsuit with the sides cut out. Oh. My. God.

One of my favourite Go Back & Change one-liners is “It’s like _______ went and threw up/horked/puked all over her shirt.” Any suggestions for this vintage atrocity? I’m thinking the Musicians of Bremen. Or that story about the wheelchair girl and the blonde-braid girl in the Alps. Heidi?

Shirt or accordion?

I know this is on a mannequin, insulting whom isn’t really my usual gig, but I couldn’t let this photo go on living a peaceful life on Flickr… I just couldn’t. I mean, look at it. It’s awkward enough on a hanger — like a dandy mated with a dot matrix printer — imagine how it will look when you stick some breasts, hips, and an optional fat roll or two under it. My God, the humanity…

As the photographer astutely pointed out, you would be able to see cooch if it weren’t for the blessing of this woman’s large thighs. Which isn’t an excuse! Bring back bloomers.

I don’t have anything against pink, really. Or against hair accessories. Or even against pink hair accessories. What I do have a problem with is spending $30 dollars on something that’s been pulled out of a peacock’s ass and glued to a barrette.

I don’t get it

bad-fashion-harem-pants
photo via malingering

These are

  1.  tangled bedsheets
  2. extremely high-waisted sweat-shorts worn low on the hips
  3. “harem pants,” which the latest issue of Cosmopolitan assures me can be fashionably worn by every woman.
