Are shorts out? — Page 5

Thank you, JM. I'm glad I'm blessed by the fashion gods. Also, the manpris were white (gags). White pants are one thing, but white manpris are a whole 'nother species. They are the mutant sibling of the cargo short.
I actually like the simplicity of the Gap and their clothes fit me well, but their line for men is just way over the top.
It is so nice to hear from people who know about style. Mister Matt, I never would have taken you as a fashionista.

While we talk about clothes we hate, I hate shirts that say things on them like "I Lie to Girls" and "My boyfriend told me to be more affectionate so now I have two boyfriends". Thank the fashion gods that the pants with "bootylicious" on the butt are disappearing. If I had to see one more fat girl in a "bootylicious" anything, I think I would have to stab my eyes out with a fork.
Which do you think is worse, mini skirts with big ugg boots or pants with flip flops?

Fashionable = Sensible????? Not in NYC!!!

High fashion (runway material) and every day wear are two different breeds. High fashion is an art form and what we wear every day can be artistic but is played down for practicality.

The thing is, I know and have seen people dressed as if they just stepped off of a runway. Take a walk down 7th Ave. in the 30s, or a stroll thru the halls at FIT.

So, we all went barefoot. :)
On topic, though, I always liked my Doc sandals. They went with everything. Too bad Journey's has gone all non-Doc and all punk. gah. Where can one find a good pair of Docs?

Lea - Uggs or flops? That's a tough call. I would have to say the Uggs go first. It's like wearing a parka with Jams. Not only is it ugly, but completely illogical.

Matt- Seriously! That guy is WAY TOO MUCH SASS.

I like wearing silk flats. I have a really pretty red pair that I got in Haight Ashbury. They're comfortable and practical (I can walk forever in the city), and I always seem to get compliments when I wear them.
Bermuda shorts only look right on some people, and even then they don't look particularly good.

I used to be sooooooo scared to be in Haight Ashbury, Blair. The burned out hippies scared the hell out of me.
Bermuda shorts just sound like they are for old people, you dont even have to look at them.
Anyone else happy that Uggs are pretty much out now? I never could see myself in shoes my dad wears when he goes surfing.
Does anyone know where you could find manpris so we can burn every pair in existance? If I see a man in clogs next I think I'll loose it. They are ugly enough on women, let alone on men.
Oh I can talk fashion for hours. . .

Thankfully, we are moving on to fall, so I believe most manpris can be found at the back of the stores in the clearance racks. I won't tell.
Unfortunately, because I work at a place that sells and encourages the flops and crap....I must view them daily in meetings and around my cubicle, worn by "executives" in our company.
It's sick and wrong and must be stopped.

This is what happens to you when you wear Uggs.
You've been warned.

But I can picture some nasty feet, if I have to. Nasty feet with blisters, and corns, and it's just not pretty.

Maybe if she were a nice person it would help. But she's not.
