I always get a kick out of checking my Google Analytics to see what people are searching. Some of you are real freaks. Then again… I’m the one with the blog that people Googling land on. That’s neither here nor there. So, what were you fine folks Googling this week? Let’s have a look.
Slutty Halloween costumes (specifically slutty Tinkerbell and slutty schoolgirl).
Sophia Vergara is undoubtedly a beautiful and sexy woman, so if there ever was a time to build a winning case against “jeggings” this would be it. I present to you, Exhibit A:
I mean, first and foremost, her cameltoe just poked my eye out. I can see the the painted on “stitching” that she is pretending is a “fly.” Not convinced? Let’s move along to Exhibit B then:
Pardon me, Sofia, but I can see through your pants. The stress your buttocks is putting on your spandex/acrylic/manmade jeggings is proving to be too much. One foul move and your jeggings won’t live to see another day. Um, your honor, ladies and gentleman of the jury, I think I have proven my case.
When I wrote my first post two years ago, I had very little knowledge of blogging, but had quite a bit to say. I started writing as a creative outlet as a disgruntled employee crunching numbers on excel sheets and placing re-orders on Hanky Panky thongs. Originally, I had wanted this blog to be completely anonymous so that I could simply talk about tragic wardrobe malfunctions without suffering any backlash. In reality, I had no idea (and doubted) if anyone was even reading. Writing was just something I really enjoyed and had forgotten how much so. Then something funny happened. People would tell me they really liked something I wrote. They started suggesting I write more. People were reading and paying attention to what I wrote.
About a year ago, I wrote a few posts that were much more personal. They were about me. When I did this, people responded. They were the most viewed posts written up to that point. I realized that I had more to offer than just making fun of ugly outfits and bad hair do’s. WhyDid has grown into something more than I ever could have imagined and I am so thankful to have people reading what I write and actively participating in what I do. Whether you are a loyal fan, friend, stumbled upon the site after Googling cameltoe, or just someone who hates WhyDid and reads it to poke fun, I want to thank you. I couldn’t have done it without you.
That said, I asked you guys to send in photos of your in your favorite outfits. I received some awesome photos, but have narrowed it down to the top five (with a special bonus entry). Now, it’s up to you to vote on your very favorite! The winner will be announced next week.
1. Paulette from New Zealand
2. Lauren from Santa Monica, California
3. Katie from Orlando, Florida
4. Elizabeth (and dapper gentleman friend) from New York, New York
So it occurred to me this past weekend while I dressed for brunch that I wanted to wear something comfortable without looking like I was wearing my pajamas and without wearing… gasp… a Juicy tracksuit. Most would automatically jump right to leggings. A lot of the time I would too, but it seems that some of you out there can not be trusted.
You guys KNOW how I feel about leggings. Namely, leggings worn as pants. I’ve gone over this time and time again, but alas, it seems that the message just does not compute. So, I have come up with a crop of pants that are not only comfy, but also attractive (minus the cameltoe):
This week is the perfect time to learn “How To” layer properly. When the weather is going crazy (hot, cold, hot, cold… make up your mind!), having all the right layers is crucial to keeping your cool.
The key is to have several layers that are all suitable for different climates and times of the day. You may start out chilly in the morning, but be roasting by lunch… and freezing yet again when the sun goes down. You also need to make sure that your layers are thin in order to avoid to looking overly bulky. Layering is really as simple as 1, 2, 3…4.
