Fashion Faux Pas

Imagine you are standing in line at some random store... and something, no someone grabs your attention and not in a good way... Do you ever get the sensation to tackle someone and tweeze their unibrow? Do you secretly wish you were a Fashion Police Officer and could write citations for fashion violations all the live long day? Do you hear Tim Gunn's disapproving voice in your head saying, "They didn't make that work..."? If you do, this blog is for you!


Every day I have to resist the urge to pull out my camera phone and snap away at unsuspecting people, walking around obliviously and displaying their poor choices. My sisters, mom, and I have code words we use.





Whaletail- When a girl bends over and the straps of her G-string or thong are showing above her jeans, making her crack resemble a whaletail.





Oompa- those who have used a tad too much (and by tad I mean waaaaaay too much) of sunless tanning product; enough to cast an unhealthy orange glow.

















Beret- light hair, dark roots. Think 2002 Winter lympics, the Roots beret!






















Minnie Mouse- dark nylons or tights paired with white/light colored shoes















Katie Couric- walking around with stuff in your teeth.
Did you see the Katie Couric-James Woods interview where she was shamelessly flirting with him, all the while she had spinach in her teeth? Priceless.

SJPS- Otherwise known as Sarah Jessica Parker Syndrome.... rockin' body, not so great face. You know, like God is making you humble by not giving someone the full package.
Someone's chilly- have you seen women walking around in cute tanks, sundresses and even (gasp!) halter tops... over a insert-brand-here tunic tee?

Please feel free to add to this list and comment away!

  2. I think we will be just fine! I doubt anyone else is reading this, but I figure why not share the wealth?! Just kidding.

    You know I love to say these things because I find them funny, not because I'm at all serious. I just want people to put their best foot forward and sometimes brutal honesty makes you realize it. Hello- I used to weigh almost 300 freaking pounds! There's a harsh reality out there, sometimes you just need a push to see it.
