Why Did You Wear That: Get Sprung- Spring Did.

By |March 26th, 2009|Why Did You Wear That?|

Spring is officially here, so it’s time to overhaul your closets.  Time to toss the sweaters and leggings (thank god) and get ready to show some skin.  It’s time to stimulate our economy (it’s called being proactive).  So what if Obama’s trying to take back everyone’s bonuses?  Might as well look cute in the poorhouse.

  • Leather jacket- Wear it with jeans and a tank or over a long maxi dress. Works with both and gives you an easy “I didn’t try too hard” look. (Don’t worry, if you’re feeling timid, you don’t have to go with black. Try a shade of grey or tan).

  • Body Con dress- What have you been going to the gym for?  Shed off those extra layers and show off your toned bod.

Why Did You Wear That: Aubrey O’Day

By |March 20th, 2009|Celebrity Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

I couldn’t choose just one hideous outfit, so I figure I would just dedicate an entire post to Aubrey O’Day (formerly of Danity Kane fame).

I don’t even have to see the rest of her outfit to know I hate it.  That headband is so stupid, there is no way there is any “saving grace” in the full length photo.  She has way too many different trends going on here. If you’re going to pick a stupid trend, pick just one.

Here is Aubrey as a transvestite.  I really don’t know what else to say.  Actually, some transvestites actually look better than Aubrey does here.

WTF is this?  I think Aubrey is confused.  Some of the time she looks like a very dirty girl, but here, she looks like she is in search of rainbows and cupcakes with her BFF, Rainbow Brite.  There is nothing nice to say about this outfit. So I won’t say anything (else).

aubrey5

Oh dear lord.  She has more than one of these frou frou ridiculous dresses. My bet- she’s wearing crotchless panties underneath.  Come on, this is the same girl who posed for Playboy not so long ago. You’re not fooling anyone with that dress, Aubs.

Aubrey was cleary in the McCain camp because there is no way she thought by wearing this shirt she would swing any votes for Obama.  She actually probably lost him a few. And DO NOT even get me started on what she is doing to that poor little dog.  Just because you want to look like a jerk, doesn’t mean that your pup does.  Leave him out of it.

Remember when Aubrey was that adorable and actually talented little thing on Making the Band? I won’t even lie, I  kind of liked her back then.  What happened to this girl?

It’s not too late, Aubrey.  A little make under and you’ll be good as new (or in this case old).

Why Did You Wear That: Baywatch Out

By |March 19th, 2009|Celebrity Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

Oh Pam…  It’s hard for me to do this, but…

You are no longer the young C.J. Parker of your Baywatch glory days.  Though I must say, you have hung in there pretty well.  There is really not much wrong with the actual outfit itself, it’s just the execution.  The dress is a nice color and your shoes are fantastic.  However, stretch charmeuse is difficult for even the tiniest of women to pull off without weird bumps and lines.

pam

I’m not sure if you are familiar with the term, FUPA, but that is what this is.  Might I introduce you to Spanx?  Listen, no one can rock a one piece the way Pam used to, but sometimes we need to come to terms with getting older and needing to wear shaping undergarments.  No shame in that.

I’m sure it is difficult for a beautiful woman once known as a sex symbol to age, but I sincerely hope that Pam starts to tone it down and age gracefully.  Not going to hold my breath, but it’s a nice thought.

Why Did You Wear That: Just When I Thought It Couldn’t Get Any Worse

By |March 17th, 2009|Somethin for the fellas, Why Did You Wear That?|

Dear sweet lord…. tell me this isn’t happening.

man-leggings

Has my worst nightmare just multiplied by a billion? Men…in…leggings?  This has got to be some sort of sick joke the fashion world is playing, right?  My friend sent me a link this morning that has confirmed my biggest fears.  Apparently, several designers sent men in leggings down the runways.  Weren’t skinny jeans enough for you?  I mean, that was pushing it, but leggings???

man-leggings3

Men of the world, I beg of you, please do not fall victim to this trend.  There is nothing sexy about this.  Chicks will not dig this.  You will not appear fashion forward or trendy.  Let women worry about panty lines and no pockets.  There are some things men and women just should not share.  Leggings happen to be one of them.

Why Did You Wear That: Subway Style

What do you think the actual chances of this man having a legitimate need for a cane/walking stick are?  Judging by his douchey pocket square, shades tucked in shirt, and class ring, I’m going to go with a 2.4% chance. (I must also mention that this gentleman was between the ages of 36-42).  You can’t get the whole effect from just this picture.  I’m sorry, I would have taken a full length shot, but the woman next to him was sitting full on spread eagle in a skirt and I didn’t want to capture that on film.  I got off the train before he did, but I would be interested to see how he juggled his coffee, newspaper, and “cane.”

Happy Monday!
