I went to Florida last week and there was a girl on the beach with a bikini top, a denim skirt and UGGS!! I really wanted to take a picture but i thought that might be rude haha

My boss (who is more than twice my age) wore a tube top with a pantsuit last week.

Didn't we decide tube tops = bad?

What? How does that even work? You mean, like instead of wearing a camisole under a suit jacket that she then had on all day, she wore a tube top? Or do you mean she was strutting around the office in only a tube top for some of the day? ETA: er, I mean a tube top and pants, I guess. Only a tube top would be a totally different issue.

She had the jacket on all day, but it was unbuttoned so you could tell it was a tube top. It was about 40 here that day just so you can realize the inappropriateness.

Inappropriate on so many different levels.

Wow.

Agreed. She also wore a pink linen skirtsuit with black hose and pink peep toes a few weeks ago. I think she might provide me with endless fodder for this thread.

So weird. I have the impression that you live some place cold-ish, so the linen in early March is even weirder. The color scheme is also interesting.

I'm certainly no fashion maven, but I'm always perplexed when people are clearly making an effort to do something fashionably weird and they are over the age of 25 or so. If I'm doing something weird it probably reflects a lack of effort or will to do laundry.

This time of year is strange in Atlanta because it really does start getting warm and even hot, but it still seems wrong to really embrace summer fabrics, sandals, etc when there's still likely to be a cold snap. Who wants to wear linen one day and return to winter clothes the next? But it would be really hard to wait until Easter as your official start of season.

OMG. Linen suit....in winter....a pink suit....with black hose.....hose with peep toes....it's just too much. Too bad she didn't wear matching pink hose with sequins up the back.

BF and I took his sister to a beach themed party at her HS and he made a comment about a girl that was walking in with a short, short skirt and wearing uggs. I think she had a tank top on too.
