Why Did You Wear That: T-shirt Wars

By |February 6th, 2009|Why Did You Wear That?|

I am a t-shirt junkie.  I don’t mean like actual “t-shirts” I mean the kind of t-shirts that look “really cool” and you paid way too much  money for. (I sometimes secretly believe I was a rocker in a past life).

One of my favorite brands of these overpriced t-shirts is Kain.  They make really great loose fitting tees and tanks that are sheer and have a great drapey pocket.  They only come in a few colors, but somehow, when you put on this oversized t-shirt, you still look incredibly sexy without trying too hard. Oh- and they’re really soft.  Sounds perfect, right? Here’s the kicker: they are $85 a pop.  Ouch!

So, brilliant discovery!!! Express makes nearly the exact same t-shirt and guess how much it costs? $24.50!!

Can you tell the difference?

Why Did You Wear That: Only YOU Can Prevent Ugly Clothes!

I understand that some people think it might be nasty to make fun of what people are wearing, but I feel that I’m providing a public service not making fun of people.

I would never make fun of someone for something that they can not help (i.e., disability, deformity, body type).  However, wearing ugly clothes is a choice.  Nobody made you put those leggings on as pants today, did they? Didn’t think so.  It’s like littering.  If you littered, I would make fun of you too(because that’s lame and you’re lazy). Littering is a choice- just like wearing mom jeans is a choice.

In fact, I think I should be applauded rather than scolded.  Just like environmentalists who pick up litter and try to keep our planet beautiful, I also am making the world a more beautiful place- one outfit at time.

Remember Smokey the Bear? “Only you can prevent forest fires!”  Well, I say to you, “Only you can prevent ugly clothes!”

Red Carpet Recap: SAG Awards Red Carpet 2009

By |January 28th, 2009|Celebrity Style, Red Carpet Recap|

Forget the awards, let’s get to the stuff people REALLY care about… the clothes!!!

I hate when critics are too kind to celebrities just because they like them. I get it, she’s America’s sweetheart- blah, blah, blah- but that’s no reason not to tell her her dress is ugly. That’s like not telling your best friend she has spinach in her teeth! Don’t worry, I promise to hold nothing back.

So let’s start off on a good note:

Why Did You Wear That: A Little Vindication

Today is a great day.  Few things could make me happier than knowing I am not alone in my fight against women wearing leggings as pants.

I found an actual “movement” to try and end the leggings as pants epidemic.

Here is an entire website dedicated to the topic: www.tightsarenotpants.com

And here is an amazing reason not to wear leggings as pants. Two words: Tyra Banks.

Keep up the good work.

Why Did You Wear That: Dear Michelle Obama,

Today is a big day for you. Congratulations to you and your family.  You’ve got some serious responsibilities now. Not only will you need to be there to support the most powerful man in the United States, but you are now permanently in the public eye…. Whether you like it or not.  So as you know, this means everything you wear will be scrutinized by the general population.

A few things I can already tell you like:

  • color
  • belts
  • cardigans
  • khaki pants

I give you a lot of credit for wearing color. You’ve already sported purple, orange, red, lime green, and turquoise. All of these colors are wonderful with your complexion, however, I think we need to work on figuring out the shapes that work on your body. Like many women, you are fuller through the hips than you are up top (pear shaped). Since this is a common problem, it’s also easy to fix.  (more…)
