Fashion 101 - take 2

I am not a fashonista. I wear t-shirts and jeans and I should probably buy some new underwear one of these days.

I don't try to look fashionable. But it kills me when people try to look fashionable and fail. One of my greatest joys is to walk into bars and see folks trying to impress the other sex in the most hideous of outfits.

And this weekend I saw one of the worst I've seen in a while.

We were playing pool and I couldn't stop staring at this girl. I was trying to will her to leave the bar with my mind, just so I wouldn't be transfixed on the hideous outfit. It went something like this:

Sequined Gold Shrug.

I didn't even know what a shrug was until I shared this story with a friend. Apparently that's what you call the annoying short jackets that just accentuate your boobs. Add gold sequins to THAT and you know you've got a winner.

This was over a very low cut shirt with a push up bra underneath it, so the girl was all out there.

Beneath this came a multi-color peasant skirt kind of like this one from Wal-Mart:



That went down just to about her knees. Yuck. combined with the glittery shrug this was not going well. But she wasn't done.

Oh no. She had to wear a pair of jeans underneath it. and they were light blue jeans too, not even something dark that might go unnoticed.

It was AWFUL. And I sat their bitching and moaning about it like I am want to do on occasion. Most of the guys I was with were conceeding that it was pretty bad. But one of them solidy stood by the fact that he didn't give a damn about the outfit. It was just fine. because all he saw were the breasts (his words, not mine). And that must be what the other guys who were swooning over her were thinking too. I admire their honesty. but the girl could have been just as successful in the low cut shirt and push up bra with the jeans, all the hideousness I was put through was unnecessary. She still could have gotten a guy in the sack, and it wouldn't have taken her an extra 10 minutes to get untangled from the crazy outfit. Ugh.

who wants to get people's attention more? Sparkly girls in push up bras want to get people's attention more.
