So, while perusing the internet, it occurred to me that people are making fashion faux pas and probably not even realizing it. These may just be minor things, but they are like nails on a chalkboard for me. They aren’t the obvious mistakes like VPL or wearing white after Labor Day. Here are ten mistakes you may be making without even realizing.

1. Heavy belts on light fabrics.Picture 1

2. Belts over shirts at hip level.18173203_111_a

3. Greys that don’t match.00370m

4. Matching your bag to your shoes (or vice versa).3614922884_7e9e7cbf31_o

5. Casual fabric at formal affairs.6222_1_493_p

6. Cuffed jeans.Picture 2

7. Sleeveless turtlenecks.6a00d8341c624253ef00e54f1eed948833-640wi

8. Chunky flip flops.1181715537-15073_full

9. UGGs in the summer… or anytime for that matter.chunky boots.JPG

WhyDid Wisdom: A Bag Full of Shit

C_67_article_2051345_body_articleblock_0_bodyimageAs we made our way up Runyon for the second time the other evening, we spied a plastic bag full of doggy doo. Hm… I understand that you are to clean up after your pooch, but wouldn’t you say that leaving it IN a plastic bag is worse than just leaving the doo right where it is? I should say so. While stinky and potentially hazardous to the bottom of your shoe, at least the naked doggy doo will eventually decompose as it would in nature and disappear as opposed to wrapping up the stinky doo in a pretty plastic bag and leaving it to sit and rot and never biodegrade.

This led me to thinking about people and their relationships. Why, oh why, can’t some people just seem to let things die? Why must they insist on wrapping up their doo doo in plastic bags and leaving it to fester?

Sometimes, people have a difficult time letting things go, and this is understandable, but, for those of you who just can not seem to get the point, I’d like to send you a copy of He’s Just Not That Into You. Painful as it may be, at times, it is best to just walk away with your head held high and dignity still in tact. So many times, we try and argue with the outcome and in reality, it’s never going to change anything.

Many bloggers and media personalities like to exploit their relationships publicly. I’m not exactly sure whether it’s in attempt to lure their lost lover back or just to draw more sympathy. Either way, it merely ends up making said individuals look sad and desperate. (Neither of which is particularly appealing to the opposite sex). If they were smart, they’d lay low on the love front. For example, I’ve clearly got quite the arena for blowing up all of my ex’s spots if I so choose to. However, I find this to be a little tacky and I prefer a bit of mystique around my personal life (if I even have one). I mean, to each his own. We’ve all go to pay the bills, and if that’s how you’ve got to drive traffic or to score a date, then so be it.

That being said, even people in every day life do the same thing. They broadcast inane details via Facebook and Twitter in an attempt to sound like they are “having such a blast!!” and are “soooo over you!!” when in reality, a little bit of silence would do you some good. Bloggers are making a living from it, but what are you gaining?

Why not just let the poo disintegrate? Why wrap it up in a plastic bag if you’re going to leave it behind? Maybe it’s best to let a sleeping dog lie. Tiptoe out the backdoor and let him drool.

The List Volume XIV

I can’t lie, I actually forgot today was Friday and time for “the list.” That’s because I’ve been living in a love filled bubble complete with furry white cats and dogs. Take a sigh of relief, I still have plenty of things to compile into this week’s list.

  1. Um, Lindsay Lohan’s “jail sentence.” She’s like my dog. Never gets in trouble. Sigh.
  2. Life in a Bikini. WTF is this? I see billboards for it everywhere. At first glance I liked the name of it, cause you know how I feel about bikinis, but upon further investigation, it sounds like a bowl of crock. IMG00317-20100729-1953
  3. Malls.
  4. Kitten heels. And just ugly heels in general. Five inches or bust, ladies.
  5. Sun umbrellas. Sumbrellas. I believe they were parasols at some point in time. IMG00027-20100625-1118
  6. People who can’t take a hint. What must I do to make things clear?
  7. Leggings in disguise. While, having a built in crotch cover is clever… you’re still not fooling anyone. IMG00064-20100702-1301
  8. The Jersey Shore. I can’t believe we are paying these people’s salaries.
  9. Fish oil burps.
  10. The Real Housewives of DC. Might be the worst cast yet!!

See, even when WhyDid’s wearing her rose colored glasses, she still sees the ugly and annoying.

WhyDid Wisdom: Cleaning Out the Rubbish

Louis+Vuitton+Trash+Bag

As the weather shifts from warm and balmy to brisk and cool, it’s time to reorganize and re-evaluate. Not only am I talking about your wardrobe, but also your life. I’ve talked many times about cleaning out your closet, but there is another type of cleanse that is vital to one’s well being. No, I am not talking about the Blue Print Cleanse, I mean the social cleanse.

It seems we hold onto some relationships like we do that pilling cashmere sweater from Bendel’s. Why, oh, why can we not bear to part with it? You sure as hell aren’t going to be caught out in public wearing that raggedy sweater, so why would you want to be out in public with some of your relationships?

  1. Case of the ex: Sometimes we are lucky enough to remain friendly with our ex’s. However, this is few and far between. One of the parties is always still interested (or hopeful) in something else happening besides friendship. If you’d like to move forward in the dating arena, it’s time to cut ties with that pesky ex. Next!
  2. Frenemies: Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. EHHHH. Don’t keep anyone evil near you. What’s the point? When you allow bad people (energy) around you, all you’re going to do is attract more. Who needs a “friend” that isn’t really your friend? Nobody!
  3. Drama llamas: Yes, Sally is funny and always down for a good time, but it seems that EVERY single time you go somewhere, some type of drama ensues. We are not in an installment of Sweet Valley High. No need for the added stress in your life. Next time Sally calls to hang out, politely decline.
  4. Needy Petey: I don’t know about you, but I stopped babysitting when I was 15. So, if I need to babysit my friends when we are out and about, I better be making $10/hr.
  5. Tick Tock tag-a-longs: Do you have a friend who you merely keep around just because you’re bored and need someone to fill the time? When everyone else is busy, is this the person you call? Not only is that mean to your “pal” it’s also mean to yourself. Why not spend some quiet time with yourself? Instead of wasting your time with someone you feel “so-so” about, spend that time on yourself- perhaps getting a manicure or reading a good book.
  6. Moochey Moochey coo: What about your “friend” who never has cash on them? Or always just so happens to forget their wallet? Do they always say, “I’ll get you next time” yet you’re still waiting on “next time”? It’s time to cut your moocher friend loose. Your wallet will thank you for it.

Once you make room in your life for more positive people, they will suddenly show up (if you build it, they will come). Suddenly, your social calendar will be full, you popular girl, you.
