I've been in Bed Bath and Beyond and seen couples registering for items such as shower curtain liners. Not the wonderful magical anti bacterial lifetime ones. The $2.99 ones. Wtf?!?!?
I'm pretty snobby about housewares, too. I've eaten off Wedgwood everyday china my entire life, (except for the "good china" occasions) and getting married isn't going to stop that. If you get the good stuff at the outset, you'll have it for a lifetime.
White after labor day, especially white shoes gets me. It says "I didn't care enough to transition my wardrobe into the fall" It stays quite warm here well into October (hell, it was 79 today!) and casual open-toed shoes are okay, but the white ones just scream "SUMMER!" and don't look right.
Pantyhose and open toed shoes are another one. It just looks ignorant to me. Should I choose open-toed shoes for my bridesmaids, I'll provide them each with a pair of toeless hose, should they want to wear them. Now to break FI's mom of the habit...
Taper ankle jeans bother me. They have been out of style for so incredibly long, any leftovers from the early 90s should have worn out by now! Why don't people get that, yeah, your ankles may look tiny, but your ass looks huge in those things!
I'm superficial about fake purses. Especially the ones that are screen printed Scarlett O'Hara on a Sam shape with a Kate Spade label. If you MUST do a fake, get one that actually looks like the original. If you cant' afford the real thing, though, get something you can afford without a logo.
