Last year we had the poncho and the high heeled flip flops. This year we seem to be having the white gypsy/prairie skirt with ballet flats combo.
What have you seen men or women wearing lately you think is utterly daft?
This is wear you can have a good old fashioned rant (without anyone judging you while you hide in the comfort of your own home, wearing a rather dodgy Pantera t shirt and baggy cut off jeans) and un matched socks. |

And I'll sob my heart out when the tattoos, 3 day stubble, mirrored sunglasses and generally-trying-to-look-like-Elliot-Smith look goes away.
Why the hell do you think I loved LA so much? |

i look forward to the day when the trucker hat, dickies jeans, black t-shirt, tattoos, 3-day stubble, low-top converse, mirrored sunglasses, generally-trying-to-look-like-Elliot-Smith look goes away. it's such a tired look, yet it's going stronger than ever. |

It's that everyone looks like clones - driving me mad. Whenever I go out with the lads from work it's frightening. Whenever we have a big pitch or meeting they have to check with each other what they plan on wearing the following day, since they've often turned up wearing the same outfits. |

i mean, everyone is conscious of fashion in some sense, whether they like it or not. even being non-fashionable can be a fashion statement. but the people who try SO HARD are the ones who crack me up (like that guy in that article)..
i think there's a difference between having style and trying really hard to have style. |

Hehe! It is a weird one. My mother thought I'd run off and joined a cult when I first tried to explain it to her (I've given up now). |

i've always had that. i think this town is the capital of weird diets. almost every other person i work with is on some very specific, bizarre diet. it makes going out to lunch difficult sometimes
It also makes it a pain the ass to throw a good dinner party. So I just serve lots of booze.

They're not foreign to me!
Honestly, I hate shoe shopping. Shoes that seem to fit at the store often give me blisters once I've actually walked in them. At any given time, I usually have one pair of black sneakers, and one of black slip-on shoes. Actually, I DO have a pair of green Converse high-tops, which are pretty cool, but I don't wear them that much.
I was all out of luck, like a duck that died. I was all out of juice, like a moose denied. |

Far too many pictures of me lately and not enough of others, so yet again -
not going to happen. |

Again - we humbly request pictures. Evidence, proof, that sort of thing.

I've dug out a pair of shoes I love in summer (can't really walk much in them) but I do love them. Plus I'm needing new shoes, so please talk about the shoes. In fact Kitten it was inspired to change this into the shopping advice thread. Where do I go with summer shoes that I can walk in?
Much as I love my shit kicker boots - it's be ridiculous to do a summer in them - so what do I buy that I can walk in? I can't do my standard silly buy of no thought whatsoever I have to be slightly practical given the fact that I'm needing to watch my cash flow (especially since I also have to find a knockout dress in the next couple of weeks)
