Name at least one thing that you you never, ever wear
 

Crocs.

They are so horrible! I don't know why those things existed. I mean that they are hazards. There was a little kid whose toenail was ripped becuase he was wearing Crocs.

The little black dress. I refuse to wear one.

I second that one.

Ugliest shoes eva!

Third it!

I also won't wear mid-calf skirts (look awful in them), anything goth-looking or anything that'll make me look like a kid.

Prettyboy, you'd seriously not wear any jewelry other than your fraternity ring? Not even a wedding ring?

If I was married, oh yeah, I would definitely wear my wedding ring. Infact I would never take it off. :) I don't think anything is wrong with jewelry as long as it's not excessive, I just don't have enough interest in it to wear it, but a wedding ring, a must.

No goth stuff? Cool, I like that in ya.;):)

A pearl necklace.

Flip flops

I fourth it.


I can't stand capris. They look terrible on me. I'd never wear one of those one piece, fitted denim jumpsuits. I've never seen one look good on anyone but Beyonce, and even that was a stretch.

tube top

there are FEW people who look good in capris or a catsuit. lol

Ditto. I don't know how people think they are so comfortable. Having that thing between my toes makes me NUTS.

- tube tops
- flip flops
- strapless dresses
- crocs

Anything Black or Navy above the waist. The color washes me out and I think the little black dress is a cliche.
Anything with a crew neckline. They make me look like a giraffe.

Black & Navy and Brown & Black together. I know it should go without saying, but I see it all the time and it drives me crazy.

Visible bra straps. IT'S CALLED A RACERBACK BRA PEOPLE, LOOK INTO IT.

-Crocs
-Skirts and/or dresses. I can't find any that flatter me.
-Shorts. I HATE my legs with a passion.
-Those stupid attitude shirts that just won't die.

we are so twins! i feel the same way... and esp wearing grey and khaki. theyre both neutral colors, but not together!

Now, that I've never heard...

So you think the girl on the right looks bad?

I don't have an opinion on that... it's not matchy-matchy, but I don't think I'd notice that it looked odd or bad...

Oh, and I'll take the khaki colored boots over the legwarmers with that any day...
Add legwarmers to the list of stuff I won't wear.

My dad used to do this ALL the time as he's a bit color-blind and my mom always got on his case about it. I think it looks like poo also.

Anything Ivory (washes me out) and tube tops. I have armpit cleavage and that would just make it worse.

I hate shorts/pants with words written across the butt.

I wear my brown jeans with a black shirt & I have a pair of shoes that are brown/black. I like it -- but perhaps I should rethink?! ;)

I never wore "gauchos" in the 70s-80s and WILL never wear them.

I think it depends on the shade of brown. This can look really chic if it's a cocoa or something like that, but if you're doing the "well the brown is so dark no one will notice it isn't black" thing you need to be flogged.

Thanks 33, I knew it looked good!!! LOL :cool:

So do you think the whole brown/black & black/navy faux pas extends to accessories? I never wear them together as articles of clothing or with shoes/belts types of accessories, but today I wore a navy suit to work and wasn't sure whether I had to change my stuff from my black purse into a brown one. I'm never quite sure which purse to wear with my navy clothes... I really need to just buy a red work tote or something. I was running late this morning, so I just came to work with my black purse. Should I have changed to the brown one?

I think technically if you want to be a chic fashionista, yes, you should have switched to a brown bag. But if you're just a normal American woman taking your everyday purse to work, I don't think Stacy and Clinton are going to jump out and get on your case. I'm sure there are a fair share of women who switch out the purse they take to work everyday to match their outfit. I personally think it's a waste of time.;):D

no one is saying be matchy-matchy, but yeah, the third pic is what i'm talking about. black/white/grey is fine, that makes sense. so does browns/beiges/khakis. but dont go mixing both schemes.

Pants with words across my hiney. It is big enough, I do NOT want to draw even more attention too it.

Both of my daughters LOVE their crocs btw :D

im no fashionista, but i wouldve changed bags. but i also don't wear navy for this reason. i dont have time to be matching it appropriately. the only hose you can wear with a navy skirt is nude (well i guess you could wear navy hose...). and then shoes, there is nothing worse in my mind (and this is where i get matchy-matchy) than wearing a navy suit/skirt/pants and black shoes.

then again, i can agree with AF on switching bags being a waste of time: you know how many times i've forgotten my wallet/work ID/metrocard/cellphone, etc from switching bags? its so annoying.

You can only wear navy with navy if you are matchy-matchy...otherwise putting a darker navy with a lighter navy is just as bad to me as putting navy with black.

-flip flops.
-gauchos.
-silver/white gold. As much as I like some of it, it just looks tacky on me.
-plaid flannel.
-empire waisted anything. If you see me in one, guaranteed I'm pregnant!

And yes, the black/navy and black/brown bit is pretty bad, too.

Yeah, I've got navy shoes, and plenty of nude panty hose, so that's never a problem for me. I just was lazy this morning, having some qualms about it now that I got to work, and then low and behold there is a totally on-topic discussion on GC this morning about this very issue! As far as switching bags, I do so about every 2-4 days. It is easy to do, though, because I keep all of my stuff besides my wallet and calendar in a little Clinique bonus bag. It makes it easy to grab and go, but I guess even this morning I didn't have time to walk back from the garage into the bedroom and make the switch. It was a "to hell with it" kind of morning :-)

AF and i are so on the same page. i feel the same way about matching shades. some colors, i think its excusable (ie. yellows), others, its not (ie. blacks, beiges, pinks)

i saw a guy in the street who was going for a monochromatic look - black suit with purple shirt, tie, fedora, socks... but then had on lavender shoes! WOMP!

It's official- you can't be seen with me :p. I live in flip-flops in the summer, the only gold piece of jewelry you'll see me regularly wear is my engagement ring, I wear flannel plaid often in the field (midwest fall/winter gets cold!), and since I've put on the weight most of my dress shirts are high waisted. lol
Something I'll never wear: thong bikini, and ditto on the leg warmers. And I would say pink shoes, but hell, crazier things have happened...

*sigh* I'm so sorry to hear that...

I've never worn crocs, but have had so many nurses swear by them that I may be tempted to try them. I'm really funny about shoes, though. :p

Open toed shoes or sandals with hose. Especially when you can see the seam on the tip of the toe! If its too cold for me to have bare legs, then its too cold for me to wear open toed shoes.

I would never wear a sweatsuit anywhere except around my house or at the gym. I hate when people wear sweatsuits to the mall or, worse, to dinner at a decent restaurant. I don't care if the word "Juicy Couture" is written across your ass and you paid $160 for the sweatsuit. It's still a sweatsuit and it makes you look tacky.

I would never wear white socks with black shoes. The only person who can get away with doing that is Michael Jackson.

I don't wear empire waist shirts or dresses either unless the material is more fitted. I have a petite frame so empire waist outfits look like curtains on me.

I refuse to wear Uggs or any boots that look somewhat identical to them. I think they're hideous and clunky. I don't even like the boots on Heidi Montag in that picture that AlphaFrog posted (I think that's Heidi...I'm one of 2 people in the world who doesn't watch The Hills so I could be wrong). Some people love those types of boots. I'm definitely not one of them.

I must be the other person. I don't recognize any of those girls.
