Non-picture post

So this blog is waaaay better when we have photographic evidence, but we are finding that taking discrete pictures of people is harder than it sounds. At some point K and I will have to go undercover as tourists of Halifax so that we can get some good pictures...until then, you may have to use some imagination.

So one of the best places to see fashion victims is on the bus. Unfortunately it's also one of the worst places to take discrete pictures because seriously, what is there on the bus that you need to legitimately take a picture of... So K and I were on the bus the other night heading out of the city to go to dinner and we see this girl sitting a few rows ahead of us with a scrunchie in her hair. Now, for me, that's enough. Scrunchies are a thing of the past and should never be thought of/worn ever again (the one exception is if you are alone in your house and are washing your face or something). However, upon closer inspection, the scrunchie was not the only questionable fashion choice. Paired with the scrunchie was a denim mini skirt, a fuzzy, shapeless, animal print bag, and (what I am assuming was) a faux-fur coat...yikes. Please tell me that she was on her way to a costume party.

Another good place to seek out those who are clueless of how to dress themselves...the mall. On our way home from dinner, K and I stopped in at the mall to pick up a few things and there was this group of girls that seriously, had they been on the street, rather than in the mall, I would have assumed they were prostitutes. Short (like barely there) denim minis, low cut, very tight tank tops, high-heeled boots, and hair that was channelling Amy Winehouse. Did I mention it was 8pm?

Cruise Post #3 - The WTF edition

These are possibly the worst glasses I have ever seen......I have no words.

This woman was the epitome of what this blog is all about.
I don't even know where to begin so I've decided to create a list of all of her fashion mistakes starting from the top and working my way down:

1. The gigantic shapeless red t-shirt...so you can't really see this, but that bad boy has Mickey Mouse on it...
2. There is something that needs to be said about the swimsuit underneath big red as well. I know it's a swimsuit, and in terms up support for the girls, sometimes they don't do the best of jobs. But if your girls are scraping the top of your fanny pack that is being worn around your waist...well you just need to try harder.
3. That brings me to the fanny pack. What decade is this? All I'm saying is that there are nicer ways to carry around your necessities. Can we for just one second discuss the need for the fanny pack...hello...she is also wearing a gigantic back pack! Are you telling me that you could not fit the contents of the fanny pack within the humungo knapsack? I'm not even sure that there's anything in the fanny pack (for one it's wide open), I think she just likes it. As for the back pack, I won't touch that one because I was wearing a back pack that day, granted it was nicer... ;)
   
4. The lack of pants or shorts. Yes we were at the beach, but we weren't on the beach, we were waiting in line to go on a boat tour, so no excuses
5. The shoes and socks...she felt no need to wear pants, but kept her whole foot and partial calf completely covered. The presence of socks - odd, the presence of green socks with an entirely red ensemble - offensive to my eyes.
   
6. The cigarette...ew.
   

Cruise Post #2 - Makeup edition

I seriously wish that we had taken a better picture of this woman. We only really got the lips, but there was a whole lotta blue eyeshadow going on as well...
The lipliner is uneven and way above the lip line, and the colour is awful. I'm not even going to touch the shirt...

Cruise Post #1 - Swimsuit edition

So, if you thought people walking around on the street had bad fashion, put them on a boat and it's a whole new story...Ok, so typically if you wear clothes into the water it's because you want to hide your body. We've all done it...normally it's done using a t-shirt. This woman decided to use shorts...that created a semi-horrendous muffin top...thus defeating the purpose of the "cover up" entirely.


This swimsuit is just plain tacky, enough said.

Going Out

So being a young 20 something female, I regularly go out to the bar on the weekends. Fortunately (or unfortunately, however you may see it), this is one of the best opportunities to see some "interesting" wardrobe choices. Yes, when you go out dancing you want to look hot in order to attract attention, however, this often involves very tight and/or short clothing. While this may work for some, others can take this a little too far...
Case and point...while this girl clearly has a decent body and can pull off a tight dress, one should always keep in mind that dresses should cover the upper and lower body parts. This dress is doing neither of those things and I fear that a few more minutes of dancing will turn this "dress" (lets use that term loosely) into a belt.

The Beginning

Welcome to the fashion blog. K and I have been talking about this for a while now and figured that it's about time that we got on it. Too many fashion victims have been slipping through our fingers, carrying on with their lives, without any indication that their wardrobe choices are utterly ridiculous. This blog will highlight individuals who a) got dressed in the dark b) have no idea how to dress their body shape or c) are just trying way to hard to be trendy. Next time you see someone walking down the street and wonder to yourself, "what the eff is that person wearing?", you can simply say "that outfit belongs in the blog!"


Enjoy
