We have all done it at one time or another.  You know what I am talking about,... worn something that we shouldn't have...

And who among us has not sneaked a peek at a fashion disaster as they passed us on the street, thankful that we don't make those kind of fashion mistakes...but we do..  don't we..?  Oh yes we do...!

Here are a few of my favourites,

Overcoats that have been worn sitting down for so long they have developed a 'bag' around the backside. Most unflattering.
Bright primary colour eyeshadow on older women especially in the evening,
White trainers anywhere other than a gym.
Men with out of control ear, nose and eyebrow hair. No excuse these days.

Guys wearing sandals with socks,  doesn't matter what colour socks, it looks terrible
T-shirts tucked into pants over a huge belly.
Pencil thin neckties
Cowboy hats outside of Arizona (nothing looks sadder than a man or woman in a cowboy hat in the middle of a New England winter).
Baseball caps turned backwards (so passe, but amazingly, people still do it..!) unless of course you are the captain of a submarine who is peering into the periscope about to torpedo something.. Then it's OK.

Woolen Balaclavas (unless you are robbing a bank, although in that case, a ski mask is more efficient)
Unpolished,scuffed shoes.
Short cut Tshirts etc. exposing a substantial 'muffin top' midriff

Need I go on? .....OK then.....
Burberry check shirts blouses hats etc.

The infamous 'comb over' on men. where the hair from one side of the head is grown long and dragged across a bald patch in the middle to the other side. It can be quite frightening in high winds as it can rise up and weave about, looking like a Cobra about to strike.

Black tights and white shoes..

Women who wear skirts in the colder months but don't wear tights - cold blue mottled legs is not a good look.

Black and navy blue together!! It just looks a little grubby - so does black and brown.

 Mothers who look like they're competing with their teenage daughter Britanny or Tiffany ...whatever - (I had a girlfriend once who's Mom dressed like her, and yes... I could tell the difference..!)

...and finally men who wear those ghastly string vests on hot summer evenings, I'm sure they are comfortable but.......be prepared to hear a woman yell... "That's him officer...the one in the in the string vest".....at least several times a night until  the weather gets cold again..!

I am as guilty as anyone of these fashion tragedies. I just want you to know, I am working on it..!
