OMG. The Hammer Pants in a Jumpsuit. No.
Number 1: The Snuggy. (Umm, is it me, or is it a bathrobe that is worn backwards?)
Number 2: Crocs. If you are over age 8, please do not wear them. Unless you’re gardening. But, even in the garden they are not practical because dirt will get in them. And, if you do love them and MUST wear them, please please please do NOT wear them with socks.
Number 3: Fannie packs. Unless you are a contestant on The Amazing Race, these are just not okay. This one is made of faux leopard fur. Wow. No words.
Number 4:
Can’t [don’t] touch this! Hammer Pants. Of course, these days they are called harem pants. Well, la di da. I hated them in the 80s and i still hate them. And, if a model can’t look good in these, who can? The photo below features a Ralph Lauren pair, currently priced at $1,500. Yes, that was not a typo. FIFTEEN HUNDRED dollars. What the heck is going on over there at Ralph Lauren??
Number 5:

“I saw on the news that phil spector was convicted of killing that lady (2nd time around). His bizarre pic made me think of the unfashionable segment of your blog. I think he looks bizarre, but others may consider him to be a fashion pioneer. Just a thought.”
I am only inserting a thumbnail picture because he sort of gives me the heebie jeebies.

According to that infomercial a pony bump is all the rage. Google “Bump the Pony” You should add that to your blog…as a no no.
I might need these–i need some volume. So, I am not entirely sure they are unfashionable. hmm.
This was my first perfume! But, C said I had to add it. I concur. If you’re over the age of 11–it’s a no no.

not okay. ever.
My son said, hey it’s a snuggy! Apparently they are effective at advertising to 11 year olds. Same with the crocs. You know I share the loathing.
Judging by the people I see wandering around my neighbourhood, I think fanny packs are making a come back. SHOCKING – I know. We MUST put a stop to the madness.
Great list, pretty much exactly what would be on mine.
