looking back: illegal

I’ve decided to participate in the 20SB Looking Back Blog Carnival this time around. Why? Mainly because they are giving away free ice cream but also because it’s funny to see myself when I first started blogging on OHL. I was a Judgey McJudgerson back then and really nothing has changed! ;)

Here’s one of my first entries. It can be found here.

I was having a discussion with my sister about things that should be illegal in regards to fashion. I’m talking huge don’ts. I consider these major fashion offense. Please feel free to add your own fashion don’ts or to contest my own rules.

1. Crocs. Are you a doctor? Are you on your feet all day that you need to wear shoes made out of foam? Yes, I am sure they are comfy but who honestly walks into a store and says, “Oh wow! Look at the those cute shoes!”. No, I really doubt you do. They are not cute. Not even a little bit. Please stop wearing them.

2. Logo tees, all over print and saying tees. Shirts that scream a brand name are not necessary. There are much more fun things to buy that don’t literally brand you. All over print was cool like 2 years ago. Now you can throw anything all over a hoodie and people with buy it. Tees with sayings on them, yeah, not witty or funny. If you need your shirt to be funny to get attention, that does not say much for your glowing personality.

3. Victoria Secret PINK. Not so much the items, more the girls who decide to wear a full on PINK sweat suit. PINK sweat suit because are too lazy to get a regular outfit on, but still have enough time to do their hair and cake on the make up. I have to admit, I do own PINK items but I most definitely DO NOT wear them out in public to the mall or to school. I really just like the little dog, to be honest.

4. Fake designer handbags. I know some handbags are ridiculously priced. Not everyone can afford a $1200 bag, I know I can’t. But if just HAVE to buy a fake bag, please at least let it be a good fake. And don’t wear your replica Stam with your ratty tee shirt or sweatpants. It just makes it all the more unbelievable.

5. Ugg boots. Ugg boots are practical if you live somewhere it gets cold. Wearing Uggs with your denim mini is just ridiculous. Throw leggings on under the mini and you will make me flinch.

6. This is the most important rule of all. Listen closely. LEGGINGS ARE NOT PANTS. No, I’m sorry, they are not pants. Leggings under skirts or dresses are also not cute but not as bad. Big shirts and leggings are gross. Metallic leggings, print leggings, latex looking leggings, lace bottomed leggings, THEY ARE NOT PANTS. THEY WILL NEVER BE PANTS. STOP WEARING THEM AS PANTS.

Linds, take note. Leggings = not pants.

I am with you on every single point…although I do have a wordy tee or two, but I save them for the gym or hiking. :)

Fakes/Knock-offs are on of my biggest pet peeves EVER! Drives me crazy to see them in any form…probably handbags the most though.

I totally agree, especially on the leggings thing. SO ANNOYING!

although I admit I wore crocs when I worked in the hospital. they were super comfy. then they got banned for being “unsafe”.

Aw, I sometimes wear leggings as pants when I work at The Bar.

Don’t judge me! Mama’s gotta pay the rent!

I like wordy tees sometimes – not stupid or offensive ones, though, those are DUMB. Playing on my favorite movies or shows, though? Those can be fun.

There are women in my office who carry knockoff bags – it bugs me – you can buy a cute bag from target that is cheaper and way cuter than your fake it-bag.

Fake bag carrier – Sometimes.

But for friends I buy the real thing. So if I ever get you a gift, it’ll be real. See how I do?

Oh, and crocs? GAG! My MOM loves them. HOW ARE THEY CUTE?!

Crocs are actually illegal for the doctors in my OR! They’re not sharp-proof – a dropped scalpel can go right through.

Leggings hurt my eyes, but I will never give up my Uggs. I don’t tuck my jeans into them, so chances are you won’t notice :o )
