What not to wear....

Have you ever seen that section of Glamour magazine called "Fashion Do's and Don'ts"? It's such a great little page that basically has pictures of everyday people in their everyday environment and seemingly, their photos are taken without their knowledge. The idea is to catch people, many times without a clue as to their offense.....committing a "fashion crime". The funny part is that if the person is considered a "Fashion Do", their picture is posted in all its glory with the person often looking like a supermodel fresh off the runway. If you are unlucky enough to be caught in a "Fashion Don't" attire, well.....you are not so lucky. Oh, don't worry....the magazine will do everything in its power to protect your anonymity.....really, people will not recognize you with that tiny little black strip over your face...don't worry. I will share a few of my favorites......


I agree....this is a don't.

And this one....if you know him/her....you really need to plan an intervention.


Sometimes Glamour is kind enough to not show the faces at all, but if you happen to know these people, you probably will recognize them from any angle.....I mean who could forget a friend wearing this little number?

My point in all of this is....well, there is no REAL point. I just wanted you to see that I too have an expert eye and with my finger always on the pulse in fashion (you buying all this?)....I wanted to share some recent fashion disasters and delights I discovered in MY everyday world.
Fashion DON'T #1

Don't pair a size 3T yoga pant with a size 24 month Dora shirt....unless you are fond of the beer gut look.

Fashion DON'T #2

I know to the untrained eye this does not look like a huge no-no....but I will explain. Don't have a pee-pee accident in a public place because you never know what very outdated clothes your mom will pull out of her bag to change you in to. The pants are actually from a teddy bear...seriously...I stole them off a build a bear thing, they are like size XXXXS. No socks, and a 2T shirt with raisins and other bottom of the bag treasures stuck to it....so this is not just a fashion message, but also a social message....don't pee in the play scape at Chick-Fil-A...your style will suffer.
Fashion Don't #3

I just don't have anything to say about this one.....
Fashion Don't #4

Flip-flops and socks.....no, no, no.
Fashion Don't #5
Don't do summer dresses with winter underclothes...and leave the dance accessories at dance class.
Stayed tuned......a feel certain that more fashion flops are in the near future.
