Let's talk about flooding...

I'll be the first one to say that I am NOT the most fashionable person. I will definitely admit that I wear some questionable outfits. But we are not here to talk about my poor clothing choices...

Let's talk about pants that are not even close to being long enough. We have quite a few culprits around here. I know it is flooding in South Missouri right now but I don't believe Columbia is having that issue. Try to buy some fucking pants that touch the floor.

I love this picture mostly because it's from wonderbra...

But it's usually so much worse than this...

Wacky Weather Does NOT Call for Obnoxious Outfits

As my four year stint in the Midwest comes to a close, I understand the crazy, all over the place weather that is common during the spring time. However, just because it's 50 one day and 75 the next, doesn't mean your outfit choices should suffer.

The most recent phenomenon I've been noticing around the University of Missouri campus is shorts paired with bigger, winter jackets. It you're going to wear a peacoat because it's cold outside, put on some damn pants. Shorts with a light zip up or fleece seems acceptable, especially when going in and out of classroom buildings that seem to be freezing in the summer and hot in the winter.

The only remedy I have for this is for people to PLAN AHEAD. Most of us have TVs these days to look up the local news or weather channel. Most of us have laptops or other computers to check weather.com or local news websites. Or heck. Most people have smart phones now that are capable of looking up the weather on the Internet or via an app they downloaded.

Come on. Don't be an idiot. I'm embarrassed for you.

I wish I had a picture to show you, but Google results weren't as helpful for this post. I'll try to whip out the trusty iPhone the next time I see this atrocity.

181 Days Later...

Oh hey. I remember this thing. It's a blog that 4 different people were supposed to write in. Oops.

I have to admit this blog keeps popping up in my mind every time I see someone wearing something absolutely horrendous on campus or in public in general. Recently, I haven't been able to stop thinking about the blog because there is something popping up more and more and it's driving me nuts.

It's GIANT hoop earrings.

I may be old fashioned, but to me, this just screams hooker. I've always associated the big hoops with people who are selling themselves on the side of the street. I don't get the point of them.

Don't get me wrong, I have hoop earrings, but they're tiny and look more along the lines of these...

Is there something I'm missing about the ways big hoops enhance your look?

Ugh

I've noticed around the Mizzou Campus this month that more and more people are starting to wear Ugg Boots or some sort of knock off brand. I'm a huge believer in Uggs since I came to college - Who really wants to walk around campus in a few inches of snow in anything but Uggs? However, it's still 80 some-odd degrees outside. Uggs are not necessary yet.

That's Grievance #1.

Grievance #2 is even worse.

Not only are girls wearing Uggs in 80 degree weather, but they're offsetting the heat in their boots by wearing the Uggs with miniskirts. So not only do you look like an airhead for wearing boots in summer-time weather, but you look like a moron wearing them with a miniskirt! They contradict each other. You're either cold or hot. Make up your mind.

Since the first day of fall is this Thursday, here are a few tips to wearing Uggs:

1. NEVER wear them with bare legs. Your legs should always be covered when wearing Uggs. How they are covered is a different question...

2. ALWAYS tuck your pants into the Uggs. You just look sloppy when you don't. Plus, who likes getting snow on the bottom of your pants?

3. WHAT to wear with your Uggs...

• Jeans 
• Leggings 
• ONLY if you're wearing a top or a dress (there are acceptable casual winter dresses that can be paired with leggings and Uggs) covers your BUTT! I don't want to see your flabby butt jiggling all over the place when you walk. I don't subject the public to seeing mine so please do us all a favor and cover it up.
• Sweatpants
• ONLY if the sweatpants can be neatly or at least semi-neatly tucked into your Uggs. If you choose to go the Victoria's Secret sweatpants route (the ones that cut off at your calves), then make sure you tuck in the sweatpants just a little. I don't want to see an inch of your skin between your sweats and Uggs. That makes you look only slightly less moronic than wearing them with a miniskirt. Do you really not know how to cover up and keep warm?

If everyone followed these simple rules, the world would be a much happier, and cuter, place.

Be bold, wear GOLD!

Good Morning Tiger Fans.

Pride Point #1 -- Wear GOLD.

It's a GOLD rush...

It drives me crazy that this is such a hard concept to grasp.

Just Say NO! (to Crocs)

Besides having ABSOLUTELY no fashion value, these things are hideous!  And now there are all kinds of safety concerns being released about kids wearing these style CROCS and getting caught in escalators?  CROCS were originally intended as a boat shoe because of their non-slip surface ... ok then wear them in your boat.  And I may let you slide if you're in the health care profession where comfort and a non-slip surface are critical....I mean you're already wearing those hideous scrubs anyways....

Do what they taught us in school and JUST SAY NO (to Crocs!)

Too matchy matchy? Try not matching at all!

The biggest pet peeve I have regarding clothes is color combination. You can be wearing something completely hideous, but I will give you bonus points for at least matching.

Here are my Top 3 worst color combinations (in no particular order):

1. Light Gray and Khaki (Photo taken from close friend who shall remain anonymous)

These colors blend too much. There's no defining line as to where your shirt stops and your pants begin. There's no color contrast. Frankly, it's bland. But don't get me wrong. Grey can be paired with khaki but they have to be paired with the correct shades of each.

These two shades are perfectly fine together. The darker the grey, the better. The shade of khaki shown here is a lighter shade, but I'm perfectly fine with darker shades with darker grey. 

Side Note: Please do not think I am a bad friend. I have tried to convince this anonymous friend to not wear light grey and khaki for years. It worked for a few, however, old habits die hard. 

2. Navy and Black (Photo from boring google search)

These shades are too similar. Again, there's no color contrast. It's boring and bland. Although I will say... that's a cute skirt. 

3. Brown and Black (Photo from boring google search. However, I'm very glad I do not have friends that dress like this).

I've tried to come up with words to describe why I don't like these colors together. I feel it may be because in my mind, black and brown are on completely different ends of the color spectrum (to me, white/beige is in the middle with white on the black side and beige on the brown). They just don't mix. If you were painting and mixed these two colors together, what would you get? Grossness. 

Maybe I am too OCD. Maybe I'm irked by weird things. What do you think?
