What in the world was I thinking?

My biggest fashion faux pas back in the day:

1) BRIGHT RED LIPSTICK (you know you've done it). My skin color is about half-a-shade lighter than caramel... UGH... It was the time of year for Valentine's Day pictures at school. I wore some RED Cross-Color jeans with a white top, and white Nike's.

A HOT MESS.

2) Cutting my OWN HAIR in that Halle Berry style... ummm, I will leave it at that.

3) Wearing this coral dress to a Kappa Ball... HUUUUUUGE fauz pas. I tried it on in the store, it looked kinda funny, but it was a VERY pretty dress... I was going to get the black one, but "my girl" was like "NOOOOO, the coral one is straight!! I really like it, you will stand out!!!"

-- HOT FRIGGIN' MESS!!!

4) Prom day... I switched hair dressers at the last minute b/c my date changed our dinner time. Instead of telling his azz NO, I rushed around to get things done and begged my friend's hair dresser to see me. (I'd always admired her hair). I should've known better when we pulled up to this old mechanic's shop that looked like it had been condemmed. I wanted to imitate a spiral curl style that I'd seen my friend wear a few weeks before... FAUX PAS!! The hairdresser attempted to style it to my specifications to no avail citing that my "hair was too soft for large spiral curls" -- WTF ??!?!!! Long story short, she REWASHED AND STYLED MY HAIR WITH SMALLER ROLLERS AND BLACK GEL!! She told me that she was only putting a "little bit on the ends, to keep it from falling"... and that she was using smaller rollers b/c my "hair was so soft that the curls would hang a lot looser once unrolled." I believed her monkey ass... I looked like a fu**ing brillo pad by the head when I left there. I spent the next hour at home trying to loosen the curls up. Once again, to no avail. My hair had been fried into that "style" by then.
So I went to prom, looking a little better by the head... but not much.
-- A HOT RANCID MESS!!

I found out later that the spiral curls my friend had had in the weeks before were done by ANOTHER hairdresser at another shop!!!!!

LMAO at your stories. I feel so sorry for you, but thanks for making me laugh.
