What Not To Wear

Admittedly, we all make fashion mistakes. But there are some that are made repeatedly. So just to set the record straight on what is not acceptable, please adhere to the following advice:

1. Never wear jeans without a belt. I keep thinkin’ you might lose your pants. Besides, it looks you didn’t finish getting dressed this morning.

2. Never wear socks and sandals simultaneously. I mean, really? Sandals are worn in warmer weather to allow your feet to be cool. And socks are used for…yep, to keep your feet warm in cooler weather. I swear, what illogical train of thought started this craze?

3. Never wear pajamas in public. They might be comfy but people wonder when you last showered. And don’t try to blame it on laundry-day either. We all know better. And if you keep it up, we will refer to you as saggy-baggy.

4. Don’t wait for repeats. You might think that the shirt you loved in the ‘80s will come back in style but trust me; it won’t be the same fashion. In the meantime, why do you continue to wear it once a month while hoping beyond hope that the style will return? Donate it to D.I. and give the teenagers a chance to buy it for their “mock the 80’s style” party.

Now, because Katrina is really the true fashionista, I will turn the time over to her for additional mistakes to avoid…

I'm pretty sure I just need to take my little camera out for a spin around here and capture some of these mistakes, as I see them so often. I'll make that my project. Good call, on all accounts.

What about spandex pants? Are those still okay?

Dear Justin, Wear spandax tomorrow, take a survey and let me know the outcome. If you end up locked in the bathroom, Katrina will rescue you.

I'm pretty sure the sock/sandal thing was started by the Asians, you can quote me on that.

I admit, it is not often I wear a belt with my jeans. Does that make me officially ugly? AND your mom's comment made me crack up in this super quite office of mine. People now think I'm weird or not working, which I guess is true.
