    I'm not a big fan of PJs and slippers out in public. That said, when I was preggers with my now 2 year old, I came home from work one day and promptly put my purple fuzzy flip flop slippers on. I forgot I had them on when I ran to CVS to pick up an Rx for one of my sons - until I looked down while I was sitting in the pharmacy waiting area and saw my footwear of choice when Ieft the house. :noway: :laugh: (I still had my work clothes on - nice pants and a blouse, which made it even funnier!)

    I think style is a personal thing and people should wear what makes them feel good about themselves. But, sometimes what makes them feel good about themselves and what actually looks good don't jive. Heh.

    I have a few fashion faux pas's that really push me over the edge!

    I HATE ripped jeans!
    Saggy baggy jeans where you have to hold the pants up so they dont end up at your ankles
    ANYTHING CAMO! (in any color)
    Scrubs on non medical people (I am in nursing school)

    BED HEAD! I really just want to go up and brush their hair for them.

    OHH one more... I will never understand why girls with long hair end up giving themselves side parts like a comeover! WHY!!!!

    Girls who leave their velcro rollers in then go out shopping or whatever...
    Not really a clothes thing but I think you should at least finish getting ready before you leave the house... :/

    Scouse brow... The most hideous things ever. Like two slugs on someones forehead. Again not clothes related but this beauty 'fashion' is becoming apparent in the UK...

    The people bashing sandals with jeans have obviously never been to Seattle.

    Actually, I'm from a place where slippers and jeans are the norm (Hawaii.) I still think it looks hideous.

    It's not just the norm, here. It's a rite of passage to becoming a true Seattlite. One of many.

    I still refuse to wear socks with sandals, though. I don't even care how it looks, it's the fact that it's ridiculously uncomfortable, even more so if it's raining (which it always is).

    PJ's or sweats out in public
    crocks
    Uggs
    Wearing clothes that don't fit properly
    socks with sandles
    Wearing a really pretty dress and then pairing it with a pair of flip flops
    Cowboy boots with shorts or short dresses/skirt (they are ok with long skirts)
    Socks with sandles
    When women wear cammo as part of their everyday wardrobe. I have tons of cammo but I wear it only when hunting. I especially has a dislike to colored cammo like pink and blue

    1) Leaving that stupid gold sticker on your hat...

    hat.jpg

    Exactly! Might as well go all Minnie Pearl and leave the price tag hanging off, too! :tongue:

    The super low side part drives me nuts too - it's like an old man comb-over. And the person usually has to hang his/her head to the side to keep the hair hanging the right way, that's gotta be uncomfortable.

    And I'll echo the ill fitting clothes bit - the sagging pants around here are just out of control. I see guys walking down the street with their waistbands at thigh level, and they walk like a dang penguin because of it. Or a toddler with a full diaper. :laugh:

    Okay! Is this a trend?? I saw an African American girl at school the other day walking around with a hat like this with a full on tag hanging off of it, and my boyfriend said he sees it around his neighborhood (East LA -- a largely Hispanic area) quite a bit.

    Turtlenecks, white pants on men, white pants or tops w/out nude under garments for women. Black belt/black shoes; brown belt/brown shoes. Iron clothes needed. Hang up pants so they have a crease.

    Gym shoes at work.


    I'm a bit of a weirdo - my husband doesn't understand how I get dressed so quickly with all my personal clothing rules. But, it's why the majority of my wardrobe has black as its base.

    Ugg boots and shorts when it's 100 degrees out.
    PJ's in the grocery store (or anywhere public for that matter, lol).

    ^^^ That. I hate seeing people wear their PJ'S out in public

    Men and Women wearing all denim. It never looked good. EVER. Stop. Sshh. No it didn't. No.

    Men in sandals. The only time a man should wear sandals is at the beach or if they are in the gym locker room. You ever see Superman wearing sandals? Men with jeans that have any kind of adornments on the back pockets. No matter what your sexual orientation, just knock it off. Muscle shirts outside of the gym. Especially if you have more hair than muscle on your shoulders.

    Ladies in short tops. Its a privilege, not a right. If I want to see a muffin top I'll go to the bakery. Animal prints. Panty lines... unless I've got them on my wrists from you tying me up with them.

    Uggs with short shorts. Or just Uggs in general. But I've seen girls wear a tank, short shorts and uggs in winter and wonder why they're cold. Duuuh. :grumble:

    PJs in public. Don't be lazy, just get dressed. Even wearing sweatpants is better than this.

    Sandals and socks! Nooooo. These things do not go together. >.<

    Reminds me of that song on TV a few years back, "Pants on the Ground, looking like a fool with your pants on the grooound." XD

    In elementary school, I took one of those gold stickers off of someone's hat and the guy lost his *kitten*.

    When you can see a womans spanx through her clothing (WORSE then a panty line), or can clearly see where it's digging in, in her upper waist. Just work out a little, it'll look much better. Promise.
