Ok so two weeks ago I was with my family at the Pasadena Circus, which really wasn't a circus at all....more like a fair with no rides, sickly looking petting zoo animals, and the most in shape Chinese acrobats I'd ever seen in my life. While at this event two things were brought to my attention...
1. They shouldn't call something a circus when it couldn't be further from the truth.
2. What are people wearing on their bodies these days????
I am what some would call a "People Watcher". Sometimes that's the best part of being somewhere with a lot of people walking around, to just find a seat and hang out watching different types of people walk by. I am amazed by the decisions people make when getting dressed in the morning. Almost as if a mirror, sunlight, or the year in which we live in was not a part of their outfit choices. Or perhaps they have someone in which they trust telling them things like "Naw baby you look slammin' in that!" or "Um...that's not out of fashion. Fanny packs are making a comeback!" Either way, if you come in to my eyesight I will point out your mistakes and giggle (behind your back of course). A few examples of what I'm talking about are as follows:
- I understand skinny jeans are in fashion these days but that doesn't mean they are for everyone. If when you put them on and button them up your stomach hangs over the top making your mid section resemble something like a MUFFIN TOP, you are the type of person who should NOT be wearing them. Also gentlemen....wearing jeans that are skin tight when you have chicken legs and then sagging them below your ass is NOT the business. FYI!
- Low cut shirts should be nighttime/club wear only. Females we know you got boobies...we don't need to see them poppin' out and saying hello as I feed my kids lunch. Guys, V necks are in style, but seeing your full pecks or chest hair is not needed.
- Butt cracks, boxer shorts, thongs......all of these things should never, NEVER be seen in public. There's no excuse. Buy some pants that fit. If you sit down, bend over, or even worse just standing there and these things are showing I will say something to you. Leave the cracks to the plumbers.
- I suck at wearing high heels, I admit it. If I can get away with wearing flats I will do so. But if I must wear heels I will choose some that I can properly walk in. Sometimes females wear this huge hooker heels that take concentration and small steps just to not fall in. If its that much of a task to coincide with gravity, don't wear them. I don't care how cute the shoe is, its not cute to look like you're walking in pain.
- Leggings. Probably the most versatile, comfortable, and affordable article of clothing ever made. I love them! BUT!! yes there is a but....unless your legs and booty are that of an athlete or super model, wear a shirt that covers them a little. I mean c'mon ladies...I know you turn around and check it all out. If I didn't wear long shirts with them you'd see what could be mistaken for braille... no joke! So I keep the problem areas under wrap and you should too...I'm just sayin'.
These are just a few things that catch my eye...I won't even mention trends people devote their lives to because to each their own....but it is still no excuse to not be aware of your body... its good features, and its not so good features. There's clothes out there to make anyone look fabulous. I understand it's your body but its my eyes!
Feel free to add some things you've seen people wear that aren't the business too!

how interesting!! most of the things you pointed are soo freaking true and if the whole world lived by these simple guidelines .. the world would be such a better place. speaking on watchin ppl .. i work at LAX!! what better place to observe fashion from the four corners of the earth!! i find myself everyday saying "wow, are they serious!?!" ppl wear the strangest things .. but like you said .. to each his own!! the most unique and interesting fashion however, comes from passengers from china!! you want to see weird .. go sit in the international terminal .. haha!! but you're soo right!! i totally agree with you and your point of views!! have a nice weekend!!
I hate it when we women wear what we shouldn't; big or small. I've seen countless big women wear crazy things, but so do small girls. No one wants to see a skeleton in a mini skirt.
Now it's one thing to be naturally thin, or someone who stays in shape, but the wafer thin look is for the birds...or 9 year old prepubescent girls. Having no body fat doesn't make you a goddess.
Basically don't expose your ribcage or your gut...neither one is flattering. Wear what looks good on you! Not what looks good on someone "like" you.
Looking good in what you wear or don't wear on the outside, comes from looking good internally. When you feel good, you look even better!
"Trying" to wear something eye-catching (that's obviously not for you) will most likely end up making people wish they were blind...or think you are lol
Lastly, LOL, I think people should stop trying SO HARD, and instead pick 1 major asset to flaunt per outfit. Think Halle...(even she's not perfect)...but she knows how to dress herself looking effortlessly sexy, classic, and above all, APPROPRIATE FOR ALL OCCASIONS.
It's about time you made a new blog entry. I was getting worried about you!
Where have you been?
