    I hate when people wear socks with sandals and also socks with shorts and they are pulled up to the knee.

    I absolutely hate seeing people wear brown shoes with a black belt or vice versa! Drives me crazy and I point it out to people when I see it. If all you have is black shoes, then buy a black belt, not that hard! I am really big on having a matching ensemble and you don't have to spend a lot to achieve this.

    Socks with sandals..... always a no no!

    Colored socks, especially black (ankle socks excluded) with shorts.... this only works for small children.

    Women who go without bra's (unless they are built in to whatever you are wearing) and men who go without some sort of underwear.... your junk doesn't need to be flopping around in public. Save that for the privacy of your own home.

    Clothes that are so tight that you cannot sit down or breathe. This is no good for men or women!

    I hate those 'brothel creeper' shoes. If I see anyone wearing them, I immediately know I will not like them.

    What are brothel creeper shoes?

    People who wear clothes that are way too tight because they want to claim they are a certain "size."

    Just because you can zip up those pants doesn't mean they actually fit.

    If you're fully clothed and I can see the outline of your vagina, something is wrong.

    The Maxi and the MU MU are two different dresses. The Maxi is a long dress for casual wear ( vs long dress as in evening gown). The MU MU is a dress you mostly likely to see in Hawaii (vs the mid-west)

    I was bagpiping for a wedding when, upon arriving, I saw that the groom and groomsmen had all decided to wear kilts. The only problem was that...they were all were all wearing them backwards (the pleats are supposed to go in the back). As it was before the wedding, I told the groom. For whatever reason, they did not correct it and they went through the entire wedding that way. Brilliant!

    :laugh: Nice.

    I pretty much hate all clothing in any regular store today. I try to go shopping and vomit on every rack. I used to like the old bohemian style.

    Thank you!! I'm not alone. I leave a store these days just shaking my head, thinking WTF did I just see?!? Bring back the normal jeans and normal shirts!! For the love of all that's holy!

    I honestly don't even know where to shop anymore. A fellow MFP'er suggested Free People...but I can't be spending $70-$90 on a shirt.

    EBAY ;)

    HATE when women adorn their nails with jewels and little bows and stuff. It looks really stupid. Like, how do your hands/nails function? How do you carry around all that weight on your nails??

    Hate the little pompadour bump women wear. It's just stupid looking.

    Sheer leggings as pants. If you can see your granny panties underneath, all your cellulite, bumps and rolls...yer doin it wrong.

    Guys that wear bow ties. It's not cute. The only time a guy should wear a bow tie is with the appropriate tux.

    It looks good on NO ONE unless you're a fishing lure.

    Matter of fact, if you KNOW your legs have a little extra love on them...PLEASE don't wear short shorts/skirts. It's tacky and nobody wants to see your jiggly bits. I'm not body shaming, just...please dress according to your body type. I have cellulite-y, stretch mark-y thighs and I wouldn't be caught dead in a pair of shorts for the world to see it. Y'know?

    Same goes for women with very large arm fat in tank tops. I'm talking wings. If you're in exercise clothes, sure, we know you're trying to lose it...but good god, if you think you're stylin it up, you're dead wrong.

    Socks with sandals - especially Jesus sandals
    Nylons with open toed shoes
    Leggings worn as pants.... I don't want to see the design of your underwear or see your hoo-ha when you bend over
    CROCS!
    Uggs
    Clear bra straps - they just look cheap... I wish it weren't the case
    Stipper heels/Baby killers - I love wearing heels, but it's really hard to find normal heels that won't kill small children were you to accidentally step on them

    I support people wearing whatever they like as a general rule. Sure there are things that are inappropriate for an office, inappropriate for a wedding, etc. - if there's an actual dress code, then follow it. Otherwise, I'd rather see people who have unique style and wear what they like than everyone looking like carbon copies of each other. Even if that means they aren't wearing the most flattering thing in the world,

    I do run into people doing various sports in inappropriate gear that makes me raise an eyebrow. I've been up riding at the Whistler bike park and there was this girl in a full upper body armor jacket but super tiny booty shorts on the bottom with nothing else. Needless to say, and hour or so later, saw her being bandaged up after crashing and tearing up all the exposed skin on her legs. Her outfit looked hot in an oddball way, but you could just see that carnage coming... Kind of the same deal with inappropriate shoes. Was on a several mile long hike once and kept running across people who were doing it in flipflops and their feet were bleeding. Stupid clothing choices, but they're only hurting themselves, so it's not my problem to worry about.

    people riding bikes and even motorcycles with low rise pants on. No one needs to see that...

    and those new shaped bball caps that just sit perched on top of your head.

    I'm feeling a little snarky today and thinking about this:

    The Maxi, another name for MUMU, makes me think of great aunt Rita in Florida
    Leggins and/or jeggins, those are STRETCH PANTS no matter what you call them or as my neighbor calls them "I give up pants".
    Belly button piercing, half shirt and low rise jeans. Atrocious on most anyone I've seen it on , especially over a certain age.

    I'm routinely amazed at what people will purposely put on their body. How about you?:huh:

    You must be a really boring dresser. lol.

    String bikinis and ironic tees on 40-year-old women.

    What is that? Don't they know they're old?

    i don't like v necks or skinny jeans on men.
    i don't really like skinny jeans on women either.


    also people who wear clothes that are much too small for them.

    I HATE skinny jeans on guys, especially when they wear them below their *kitten* cheeks. Just no.

    I am not a fan of peplum.

    I HATE HATE HATE the "half-tuck" thing that J.Crew has popularized. It looks like you woke up drunk and failed to get dressed all the way.

    aawhatiwore2.png

    I am just hating J.Crew in general these days. They used to have great, somewhat affordable clothing, and then Jenna Lyons took over the brand, and now they sell $700 sequined skirts ... because you can never have too many of those.

    This is a walk of shame look.

    The only thing that ever really bothers me is when women wear regular bras with halters and t-backs. Invest in an appropriate bra. Or if you're lucky enough to have tiny boobs like mine, go braless.

    Look. Many, many people (including ME and YOU) have jiggly thighs AND arms. I am not so ashamed of mine that I will not wear the host of things that you say I should not. I refuse to live in shirts with sleeves, pants, and capris because I may offend the world with my less than perfect body. News flash: Most women have cellulite and stretch marks, and they don't go away with weight loss.

    I'm going to rock my shorts because my outer thighs and gams are ah-mazing. Could my inners use some work? Sure. Also, I have a bit of chub under my arms, but my shoulders are sculpted. Tanks tops all freakin summer!!!

    Build a bridge and get over it. You're only 22. You don't deserve to be stuck in pants forever.

    Visible bras. If you can't wear a bra without it being visible in the top - don't. If you don't have the pair to go without a bra - don't buy the top. I don't want to see your dirty off white bra straps with a spaghetti strap tank...so easy to just put on a strapless. If it's some crazy partially backless thing...get the proper undergarments ladies. Please. It looks SO bad.

    Just as a side note.. Not everyone can actually wear a strapless bra. Some of us were blessed, we have no choice in bras..at all. If you can see my bra strap I apologize but they don't MAKE spaghetti straps, strapless or halter bras in any size over DD. I will usually wear a jacket over my dress/shirt because I am not a fan of showing my bra straps either but just to say 'get proper undergarments' isn't as easy as you might think when you aren't a standard size. I was honestly hoping that losing weight would get me into a 'normal' store to shop for lingerie but unfortunately I am STILL DDD and now 36 instead of 38 (which is even harder to find than before) The 'plus stores' don't go under 38 band and the 'normal' stores don't carry over DD so I am forced to buy $$$$$ bras in plain styles just to have a good fit.

    As far as other 'styles' I don't care for pants that make you look as though you have had an accident in them. I don't need to see someone's tramp stamp tattoo along with g-string either. Shorts that show the crease of your butt cheek are too short and look trashy on everyone. Boobs in danger of flopping out are to be avoided. In general, wear clothes that FIT properly. I have seen some very large people looking absolutely amazing because they knew how to dress.

    I absolutely can not stand guys in flip flops. I'm sorry guys
    Men and women that have shirts that aren't long enough and their belly hangs out below (man on the bus today ugh)
    Heavy women in spandex pants/leggings...come on really I don't want to see your fat. I am heavy myself right now and I sure don't want all my bulges hanging out.
    Guys with pants below their butt. They are called underwear for a reason and I don't want to see them.
    Skinny jeans are a no go for me as well especially on heavier people or guys.
    I am sure the list can go on and on.
    Basically look in the dang mirror before you leave geesh

    ^^^^ Ditto!

    I live in the humid south, I'm sorry if you don't like my stretch marks or bat wings/bingo arms but I'm not going to cover everything up and die from the heat so not to offend someone.
