A few very ugly things have crossed my fashion radar, or as I like to call it. My Fadar.
First up we have something very ugly which I first saw way back at the beginning of this summer season. So horrendous is this item of shoe, I found myself compelled to take a photo of it and post it on Facebook. As you do.
At first I had to look away. So horrible the image. Are these sandals or are these boots? Well they look like a bit of both. I like to call them BOOTALS. Or "Boots with Ventilation". They are great if you have really bad ankles and really nice toes and really nice heels. They look like you hollowed out a possom and put your feet through them and cut out holes for your toes and your heels.
On posting this image on Facebook everyone agreed "Horrible Things". "Yes I hate them too". Then my cousin announced. "I have a pair of them". Shit. Hello to Lisa if you are reading this.
Next up we have something I found in the Target catalogue today.
Good Lord.
Here we have a lovely model with some very bad shorts. With an exposed pocket.
AN EXPOSED POCKET. WTF?
Underneath the picture it says "Exposed pocket lining". Righto so that it what that dangly thing is hanging from her shorts.
If I saw this lady and didn't know any better I would tap her on her shoulder and announce "Excuse me lady. I can see your pocket".
Hello!? Isn't the inside bit of the pocket something that should not be visible from the outside? It should serve it's purpose and be undetectable. What happens when you fill this pocket with stuff? It's going to bulge out below the short hem. And that's just a bit yuck.
Are we so out of fashion ideas that we must make, sell and purchase shorts with an exposed pocket? What next? Clothing with the lining on the outside? Jackets with pockets pulled out like teepees? Shoes with soles on the upside? Knickers with the bum bit at the front? Bras with an underwire that pokes through your t-shirt?
I'm sorry. Is it just me or all this bordering insanity? What do you think?
Disclaimer - If you are one of these people that has one or both of these items in your wardrobe I do apologise if you have been offended.
Baaahaha. I am picturing a woman I know who owns both. Fashion tragic I'm afraid. I wouldn't wear them because I don't like them. She wears them because they're cool right now.
ReplyDeleteBUT
I did post a photo today of Emma Watson wearing a pair of shorts with pockets out the bottom. So I should just go back to my corner, I think. :oP
Ick ick ick. The exposed flap bit -looks like she has a Nicobate patch stuck on her leg, exposed....
ReplyDeleteOh. Good. God.
ReplyDeleteI have just become aquainted with these products by viewing them on your blog.
All I can say is "what the...?"
Where are the fashion police these days?
To be honest, I saw a pic of a celeb the other day wearing shorts like this (can't remember which one) and I assumed she had cut off her own jeans and didn't realise the pockets were exposed!
ReplyDeleteI'm no fashionista. And I kinda like it that way. ;) xx
I hate HATE those shoes with a passion. Hate. BARF
ReplyDeleteAnd those shorts are just nasty.
Love a fashion WTF
You are brilliant
Mrs Woog xoxox
Thanks for clarifying, I was wondering what the little arrow said pointing to the weird exposed pocket. So it's meant to be that way?!?! It's a feature they felt the need to point out? Too strange for me. I could deal with jeans on the hanger being already ripped, but this has gone too far.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, ugly sandally thong boot shoes. Freaks.
Yes!!! where have the fashion police gone?? It is like they put the arrow on their as they knew it looked wrong and need to clarify that it was intentional! I read lately someone say that it looks like a sanitary pad sneaking out of your shorts accidentally and i kinda have to agree!
ReplyDeleteI am fashion tragic, but mainly because I oblivious to it.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if I should thank you for opening my eyes on this one. Those boots are horrendous!
Thanks for stopping by today.
Too right on both accounts, very WT items, but someone somewhere will buy them and the designer will think they are onto a winner and come out with something equally as gross next season.
ReplyDeleteOMG those shoes are worse than crocs! And I HATE CROCS. Refuse to own a pair, no matter how cheap or how practical it would be to have something to wear to clothesline rather than socks!
ReplyDeleteThe teenage girl that lives down the street from me has this whole outfit.
ReplyDeleteShe wears the shorts with the exposed pocket, a black tank top, the boot sandle thingys and ONE GLOVE ON HER HAND LIKE FREAKING MICHAEL JACKSON!
She wears this getup quite often...as she's mincing past the teenage boys house (who I believe doesn't own a shirt) normally with her hair flowing, oversized aviators and a pout.
I'm just damn jealous that her thigh is as big as my wrist.
