How about cheap jeans or shoes?

Guys that wear Kenneth cole or Aldo and think they're being fashionable bother me.

Girls that wear cheap jeans and iron them inflame me. Rudey gets madder than the Hulk and breaks things when he sees that. Rudey get mad!

Don't diss little mini skirts....they're sooo cute!!!! BUT.....when you can see your thong and your butt cheeks.....that's when the line needs to be drawn (I have seen both of these things at least three times in the past two days). The skirt needs to go about a half inch below your rear or else it's just FOUL!!!

I also hate plaid shorts/pants. EWWWWW. Seriously, the only plaid thing that is cute are cute little schoolgirl skirts. That's pretty much it. Oh...and same for flannels on men/women. You live in suburbia/downtown, you don't need to look like you're a lumberjack/still stuck in the grunge movement which THANK GOD went away YEARS ago.

Spandex......it only looks good on a select few people at the gym....but if you are anything but skinny, it's NOT AT ALL flattering. Seriously, it needs to be made ILLEGAL!!!!

ALSO.... the tight rolling thing. EWW.

Overalls...also GROSS.

Underwear that is three sizes too small.....and the same for bras. Hello, you wear a size 12. A size extra small bikini is TOO SMALL....step away from the XS PLEASE. Also, if you have 38DD breasts, PLEASE do not try to wear a 34C. Trust me, I wear a 34C and both of my breasts are not even the size of one of yours. It's too small. OHHHH and I hate even more people who do this and then whine that their bra gives them NO SUPPORT. All I have to say is NO SHIT! It's five million sizes too small.

AND my favorite fashion faux pas....clothes that are way too small, and LARGE AMOUNTS of fat and love handles are spilling over. Seriously, I know I don't fit into a third of my clothes....that's why I DON"T WEAR THEM!!!!

HUH??? You've got to be joking me. I only wear high heels with most of my jeans...that's why they're cut so long!! If I'm wearing tennis shoes, I'm usually in stretchy black pants, velour pants, or workout pants....

Nope. You are incorrect. It's cute. And honestly, I love wearing all of that stuff. It's hot, and sooo fun. I wasn't old enough to wear alot of the eighties fashions, and am so glad that they came back because they are soooo hot!!!!

Well slap my face and call me stupid!:D

Looking back to Urban Cowboy and of course Grease, girls were wearing stiletto type heels, mostly straps, with their Blue jeans.
Would see this at Houston's Cowboys and Gilley's. Just looks old fashioned and out of step to me. Boots are great-no problem.

Maybe it falls into the white before Memorial Day category-some approve, others don't.

Rudey -How can you tell cheap jeans apart from expensive ones?
I honestly can't tell one from another. It never occurred to me to buy a pair of jeans based on the price...just the arse!:p

Sister Havana 03-28-2004 01:41 PM

Ooooh. Purposely visible thongs. Just looks skanky!

And guys wearing pants so large it looks like they can fit three people into them, where the waistband is almost below the crotch so you can see their underwear and it looks like the pants are just falling off.

Jill1228 03-28-2004 03:35 PM

UGG boots are called that for a reason....then damn things are UGLY!

Oh yeah I do NOT want to see your thong sticking out. You don't need to advertise that you are wearing draws! :p

Oh yeah I am surprised no one mentioned this...

Pants so tight that you got Camel Toe! Ewwwwwww!

tinydancer 03-28-2004 04:58 PM

Funny you should mention thongs showing - I just went into the grocery store behind a woman whose thong was showing up around her waist and her jeans were riding her butt crack.

NASTAAAY !!!

ztawinthropgirl 03-28-2004 05:49 PM

Wife-Beater shirts on anyone.

Low-waisted/hip-hugger blue jeans/pants that when the person sits down, the jeans/pants don't cover the thong/panties. No one wants to see your panties or lack of that undergarment.

Shirts that are too tight on someone.

Tube tops.

Daisy duke shorts on anyone.

I hate navy blue and black together as well as black and brown together

Paisley anthing!

Silver/gold fillings. There's a thing called porcelain/cement fillings . . . GET THEM! It's white and blends in with your teeth so no one will ever know you have fillings or sealants.

Front teeth that are covered or outlined with gold or silver.

When girls have DD or above boobs and they wear buttoned blouses and the buttons buckle or the shirt starts tapering at their chest and you can see their bra.

People that either don't wear a bra with clothes that cover up bras or don't get a well-supported bra and their boobs droop or flop, whether they're AA's or EE's. NEWSFLASH: Any size can droop if they're not supported well by a good bra. I also realize that in some clothes one can't wear a bra but make sure there's something sewn in the shirt/dress that will support your chest and you won't flop or droop.

smiley21 03-28-2004 06:16 PM

i saw the most awful thing at church today. this woman with very fat feet was wearing little high heels. her feet did not fit in them. there were huge bulges coming out of her shoes. it was nasty. newsflash***** high heels are not for everyone:o

Amen! I hate those skater pants!

Also:

- shorts/ skirts/ pants with words written across the butt. uhm, not cool!

- sweat pants with elastic ankle cuffs. they just don't look good, especially if they are too small.

- the color yellow. very few people look good in it. it washes you out and gives your skin odd tones.

- tight jeans. as my high school bio teacher used to say, "well, there goes a yeast infection waiting to happen!" and i just think they look ugly. AND they're uncomfortable.

- wearing a short-sleeved dress shirt with a tie, and no jacket. my friend did this once, and it took all of my strength to NOT laugh at him. you should only wear this combo if you're a middle-aged eccentric high school math or science teacher.

- mesh anything

- tee shirts with the collar and sleeves cut off

LOL.....Did you ever watch the show Good Morning Miami? That reminds me of the dorky station manager Frank.

veemers 03-28-2004 07:56 PM

yeah, you're right!

i just first associate that look with my eccentric middle aged senior bio teacher. :)

Ewwwww indeed! The Crimson cheerleading squad at IU wears cameltoe pants as part of their uniform...I cringe every time I see them in those pants.

You say this like everyone has had a choice. My parents have silver fillings. Why? Because that's all they had back in the day.
Nowadays, dentists don't give you a choice. The use the porcelain/cement fillings anyway. or least my dentist does.

kstar 03-29-2004 11:13 AM

Excuse me, when I bit through my bottom teeth and broke my jaw playing hockey, the dentist gave me silver filings in the teeth that were salvagable. He said because of my TMJ and how I grind my teeth at night that porcelain would break too easily.

I think nasty broken or rotted teeth would be worse than silver fillings. (I'm lucky that I've never had a cavity, but kinda unlucky that I got my jaw broken.)

And skaters don't wear those big pants, that seems to be a rapper thing, skaters wear loose pants, but if they're falling off of you, you can't skate.

I hate more than anything when people wear two different colors of something, like two different blacks or greens, et cetera...

veemers 03-29-2004 12:42 PM

Here, skaters wear the pants with the huge legs, too. "Rappers" wear them low, skaters wear them with belts. They're the same pants, and I think they should be thrown away.

Peaches-n-Cream 03-29-2004 05:01 PM

I have silver colored fillings. I went to the dentist the other day. He said that they were fine, and that I should leave them alone which I intend to do. I guess you should pull me over and give me a ticket for breaking the fashion law. :p

twhrider13 03-29-2004 06:12 PM

For some reason, I can't tolerate blue shirts (except T-shirts) with blue jeans. I'm sure it's just me, but the monochromatic scheme just bothers me!

sairose 03-29-2004 06:35 PM

--Guys that don't match their belt color to their shoe color. TACKY!!

--Several have said it, but BLACK WITH BROWN

--bleached hair on girls. VERY few can pull it off and look good, IMO, although I know a few who do. The rest just look washed out.

But the one thing that REALLY ticks me off...uggghhhh..

I'm a music major, and wow, some musicians REALLY don't know how to dress while performing. Short skirts are NEVER EVER EVER EEEEEVVVEERRR appropriate on stage, neither are low cut shirts, spaghetti straps, or slits in your skirt. Tacky tacky tacky! :mad:

ztawinthropgirl 03-29-2004 11:54 PM

Ya'll, I am not stupid enough to not know that there are certain situations where silver/gold had to be used. Seriously, who typically bites through their teeth and breaks their jaws on a normal, day to day basis? I don't know too many people that say "Oh, what the heck! Let's bite through our teeth and break our jaw today!" Yes, it happens but it's not a normal, every day occurence.

I also know that cement/porcelain wasn't in wide usage back when our parents were getting fillings. But, they could get porcelain/cement fillings from here on out or get them capped

It's just these people that ghettotize their mouths with these silver/gold fillings for the heck of it. We all know who these people are!

BTW, I have always been given a choice no matter where I have gone to the dentist and I have seen quite a few dentists in my lifetime. 5 regular dentists, 1 oral surgeon, and 2 orthodontists to be exact. Let's just say I know teeth well by association.

hottytoddy 03-30-2004 03:43 AM

Um, ok I always wear high heels with jeans. This is in style.

A person should not be allowed to wear more than one designer signature article of clothing. (Burberry, Coach C's, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Gucci) More than one is just too much in my opinion.

furry things annoy me.

People who wear Keds or Bucks...I saw this today--I didn't even know they still sold those.

Overweight people wearing tight/see-through/exposing clothing. Please wear things that are your size.

ALSO:
Just because you have a perfect body doesn't mean you should dress like a 2-dollar whore...leave a little SOMETHING to the imagination please.

I also have it when people think that their makeup has to perfectly match their outfit. It doesn't. It can compliment...but doesn't have to match. You are trying too hard.

I am also not a big fan of only using white eyeliner...this does nothing for your eyes..it draws more attention to your eyeliner rather than drawing attention to your eyes.

Dark lipliner with nothing else. Eww.

i dont even think they had cement/porcelain fillings back in our parents day. Im only 18, but when I was 10 my sealing fell out of one of my back teeth (you know, that white stuff they used to put on the top of your teeth to seal them?) so i had this huge hole in my tooth, and then the root started to die. So, they had to do a root canal, and filled it, and put a silver cap on it because they didnt have a choice. You cant really see it at all unless im being goofy and smile really big...but then, about two years later, i fell at the skating rink during a race and hit my front teeth on the floor(ouch)..and one turned black because the root was dying again from how hard i hit it...and they were going to put a gold cap on it ....but then they said that we could try this new porcelain filling to see if it would whiten it.....

so excuse my "bling bling"....cause i didnt have a choice.

is ghettotize a word? or can i just join in with everyone else and do :rolleyes: or :eek: ?

Lady Pi Phi 03-30-2004 07:25 PM

stilhetto boots with those stupid cargo pants (you know the style J.Lo popularized). Ladies, you look ridiculous.

Fatigues...unless you are actually in the army, you don't need to wear these.

Side ponytails...that 80's were a bad decade...why must people insist on bring it back?
(80's style is soooooooo cool...I think I'll wear hot pink legwarmers to work tomorrow :rolleyes: )

Peaches-n-Cream 03-30-2004 07:35 PM

STOP DISSING THE 80s!!!!!!! The 80's were, like, totally cool! :) :p ;)

LOL! I have a picture of Hubby and me with this style! Um yes, it WAS taken in the 80's- at my class reunion! :D

On the teeth...Amalgam fillings are STILL offered. If your dentist tries to put amalgam in your mouth TODAY, why not try a second opinion? Prefaced by-*In the opinion of many dentists today* amalgam fillings are notorious for fracturing teeth, which leads to either/or Crown and Root Canal. Insurance won't cover them on the back teeth, but one day they will. If you have a CHOICE, go for the composite bonding today, you will be much happier tomorrow-even if it costs a little more. BUT, make sure he's a GOOD dentist because lousy margins can lead to decay!

Save us all from those who request a gold crown on their front teeth...or a DIAMOND stuck in the middle!:eek:

GeekyPenguin 03-30-2004 08:19 PM

Here's my view on comeback fashions - women can wear any fashion ONCE. So KR, JAM, MrsMccartney, you ladies are done with the 80s look. Those of us who were born in the 80s or later are allowed to rock it now, but won't be when it comes back again.

justamom 03-30-2004 08:27 PM

Yes, Mi Capitan...there's a Spanish accent in there somewhere! Sage advice that is noted and digested!:p

valkyrie 03-30-2004 08:52 PM

Good advice, GP. I had the unfortunate experience of wearing 80s fashion the first time around and I am not about to do it again.

lonestaradpi 03-30-2004 11:41 PM

I am a teacher and I see so many fashion felonies every day on my fellow coworkers. Some of them include"
-toes hanging over your sandals
-Keds shoes with the coiled up shoe laces (yes on an adult)
-white skirt with a black thong underneath it and no slip - niiiiice!!
-black pants with brown belt and shoes
-orangy bleached out hair
-sizes way too small b/c they don't want to admit that their ass has gotten bigger
-hideous fluffy hair with extensions added in (I know that this is Texas but come on!!)
-cartoon characters on any clothing, pooh, mickey, etc

Someone call What Not To Wear and have them just come to our school!! Several could benefit from it!!

Here are a few other things that I can't tolerate:

-bows on anyone over the age of 10
-socks with sandals - it is so damn hot here, why would you want to wear socks with your sandals?
-slouchy boots from the 80s, give them to Goodwill!!

I'm sure that I have many other opinions, when I think of them, I will no doubt post them.

Lady Pi Phi 03-31-2004 12:29 PM

Another one...

really short women wearing tapered jeans and chunky high heeled boots.
This looks ridiculous on anyone, but if you're really short, you look even worse. The boots don't make you look taller, in fact I think they look like walking stumps.

DWAlphaGam 03-31-2004 05:44 PM

For some reason, I keep seeing guys wearing brown shoes or boots with black pants, and it annoys the crap out of me.

I'm with the anti-80's fashion comback people. The 80's were just not an attractive decade; why are we bringing these ugly-azz styles back? Next thing you know, everyone will be wearing blue eyeshadow, fuscia lipstick, huge fluorescent t-shirts tied at the hip over leggings, and big poufy hair again. Who wants that? *shudders at the thought*

My friend and I spent about 1/2 an hour in a movie theater lobby in NJ this weekend making fun of all of the teenyboppers in their 80's throwback fashions. The worst offender was this rather chunky girl in a white(!) pleated miniskirt (the kind that's tight around the waist and has a couple of pleated tiers) with a teeny tiny shirt that showed off her oh-so-attractive stomach rolls. :rolleyes:

Lady Pi Phi 03-31-2004 06:16 PM

Ok, how do these larger girls get into these tiny clothes??

I'm a bigger girl myself and I can't imagine trying to squeeze into something that doesn't fit. Aren't the uncomfortable. Aren't these pants and skirts too tight? Why doesn't it cut off their circulation?

Ditto on that comment!

DWAlphaGam 04-01-2004 04:51 PM

I have another one I saw at work today—pants that are too short but are very obviously not capris. If your pants are 2 inches above your ankle when you're standing and halfway up your shin when you're sitting, they are too short and you need to move up to the next length (i.e., from petite to regular or from regular to tall). It's better to buy pants that are too long and hem them to the correct length than to buy pants that are too short; there is no correcting that.

justamom 04-01-2004 05:45 PM

You know what, this pant length thing is really confusing. I thought it was to be apx. 6" above the ankle, but I've seen TONS of people wearing them longer and shorter. What ARE the acceptable lengths-given that the leg is an average leg?

Ginger 04-01-2004 05:56 PM

do you mean for capris? Or regular length pants?

I don't know for capris... it seemed like originally they were a few inches below the knee... now I see them all over the lower leg.

As for regular length pants, I like them so that they're long enough so the bottom crinkles a bit over my shoes. Unfortunately I'm pretty tall so finding long enough pants is hard!

:( Same here. In fact, some of the regular lengths ARE Capri on me!

I've seen a lot of women wear pants that just cover the ankle bone. I can't do that. Feels too weird after searching all my life for that extra bit of length.
