all hail this new weirdly warm weather. At the bus stop... was a woman, wearing short mom-shorts in shit-colour-by-moonlight, enormous camel toe, and a white halter that made her bra-less boobs look like they were in fact an extra roll around her belly. Her male friend was wearing head-to-toe pollyester soccer kit - either arsenal or man u, bright tomato red. He was ginger and it clashed.

and do not get me started on the hairy backs and beer guts on display in the park. Dear all middle-aged men: please don't take your shirt off. It scares the children.

Not as heinous as some, but it truly annoys me to no end to see men wearing navy blue blazers with gold buttons, khakis, and penny loafers. This is not 1985, and you are not in prep school.

And thanks for the shoe compliments, y'all! I am a bit infatuated with them, still.

Those are really cute shoes, llamas.

Seen at a mall in my area:

teenage girl wearing a dark pink halter dress with a black and yellow print. She would have looked fine, except she was wearing a white wife-beater underneath and red riding boots.

[llamas]

These.

And I thought that the satin cargo pants with ankle ties had all spontaneously combusted from their own hideousness a couple of years ago, but apparently at least one pair survived. In black, on an otherwise very suburban-looking mom.

robin's egg blue peep toe heels??? *SWOON*

[llamas]

Thanks, y'all! I really like suggestion of fishnets or patterned tights, and the shoes are robin's egg blue, so I'm thinking black would look good. Yay.

A few days ago I saw a man wearing rolled-up jeans with white socks and Docs. I hope it was for practical reasons and not a one-man crusade to bring back grunge.

You know all of these peep toe shoes are making me sick right--now b/c frankly who has the time and money to keep their feet in tip-top shape all of the time???

anyway go with crazy colored tights that are meant to be seen--otherwise forget it.

I vote for Ginger's fine-gauge fishnet suggestion. Keep the holes small and tight (sheesh, I sound like a porn producer or something ...), but texture can be very cool. Especially if the outfit and the shoes are sleek and simple.

[mornington]

llamas... just my opinion but: no nudes, and the better the contrast the better it looks - ie not black shoes and black tights, but black shoes and bright red tights. make a statement.

[ginger_kitty]

llama, I'd say peep toes would probably be okay with a small fishnet...but definately not opaque tights or nude hose.....just my two cents

[llamas]

Ok, I think this has been discussed previously on the Lounge somewhere, but I can't find it and need CoF advice desperately, so...
I just bought a pair of yummy peep-toe heels, and would like to wear them with a skirt. However, I'm very self-conscious about my bare legs. Is it ever acceptable to wear tights/stockings with said peep-toes?

[kelkello]

"Barf-triad".....bwuhahahahahahaha!!!!! Hilarious, Blanche.

[ginger_kitty]

I confess, one of the reasons I never wear heels is that I am complete clutz and can't walk correctly in them. But I prefer flats, they are more comfy, to me.

[missladyj]

I have been noticing a number of women wearing high heels and not having the ability to walk in them.

If you can't walk in them gracefully, don't wear them and try to clomp around like an elephant. If this means practicing at home in them till you get the hang of it then please do so!

[hellotampon]

I forgot about the uggs... that is so true!

[mornington]

pfft, polly

I ought to put away my denim skirt and black opaques then?

[polly_esther]

Ohmigawd you guys. What. ever!

Like. Don't you know that the bald vajayjay is the must-have accessory of the season? Like totally. Britney Spears totally has one, and Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton.

You know what they say, you're never fully dressed without a smile.

Holy Mackerel!

(wocka wocka - sorry, am hopped up on Dayquil today and hit the slap-happy portion of The Illness: The Sneezening)

[maimy]

Hello, they do wear them in July. But only with UGGS ...

*Le sigh*

[octobersky]

It was actually warm here on Monday when I noticed this, so the skirts were a bit more weather appropriate. But I do have to wonder how many professors are getting crotch shots because alot of the classrooms have stadium seating. Can you imagine lecturing and then sprong!! there's someone's vajay-jay on display!!?
