Fashion No-No''''s

6 Feb 2008

Whats your worst fashion faux pas?? you know the time when you thought you looked soooooooooooo gorgeous or a real cool dude....but when you think back you theink "WTF was I thinking??"
or whats the one thing you cant stand to see on others.
My worst fashion disasters have to be from the 80's....I had a penchant for wearing two different coloured fluorescent socks (with a choice of stomach acid green, shocking pink, bile yellow or Sellafield orange redface

I also had a spell where I wore my make up to match, i had pink and orange mascaras and yellow lipstick, and I actually went out in public like that. :shock: :shock:
My worst one tho was white stilletoes with black tights surprised

ops:
I hate seeing sandals with socks....no, no NO!!!!
there is never any excuse got that little gem!
So, tell me all your deep and hidden times when you were a fashion victim!!!
Supplying pics would be even better wink

:wink:

I've still got a pair of MC Hammer style pants, they were called harem pants in those days.
They had a huge bum bit, that came down nearly to you knees. I loved them so much, they're bound to come back into fashion any day now lol

Erm....

millions!
I loved 80s fashion though... my ra-ra skirt was fab, my puffball one better and as for my jade green asymmetric patterned batwing jumper, well... what can I say!!
What I fail to understand now looking back, is what the flippin 'eck point was there to the snood?! (Of which I had several I may add... jade green, cerise pink and black from memory - most of my wardrobe in the 80s was one of those colours!!)

Shirt and tie but shorts instead of long trousers (think it was a Spandau thang) Looked a complete tw*t but didn't realise...........Luckily one of my mates kindly pointed out that I didn't have the legs for it so it wasn't a look I persisted with redface

Stretch jeans..........I used to wear these in the 80's as did a lot of people but when I look back at pics I look feckin stupid, sparrow legs, no bulge at the front and sticky out ass at the back surprised

I've never been a fashion victim and I can categorically say that I've never owned a puffball or rara skirt, dressed like anyone from Adam & The Ants, chav trackies ( especially those matching velour ones :scared: ) nor donned a bin liner to go punking it at the local club.
The 80's were shite fashion-wise and if ANY part of it makes a comeback I'm on the next flight to Australia! :shock:
Thank the Lord that no one ever took a photo of me when I was a Bay City Roller fan in the 70s :shock:
