Did You Get Dressed In The Dark!?!

[Bob Peale]

I mean, goddamn, what were you thinking leaving the house mixing those two colors? Not to mention the fact that typically, they don't even exist unless someone's had a run in with a big bottle of bleach or a baby with digestive problems.

There's a reason why they're called daring; you ought to get paid for wearing them!

Designer usually means shit that you shouldn't wear unless you're rich and you have a publicist!

And, what the hell made you think that was your size? Somewhere, there's a skinny naked midget freezing his ass off because YOU got the last thing that fit him!

*whew*

I feel better now...I've been bottling that up since 9:00am

Bobby boy..........

Now I'm really curious to know what brought that on

 

[Bob Peale]

There was a guy dressed in an orange shirt and green pants (neither of which fit), and justified it because it was Armani.

On top of that, if Giorgio had seen what this guy made his clothes look like, he would have cut off his own hand.

It wouldn't have been bad except the only thing that was ever going to make this guy look good was distance. And I'm talking hemisphere-like.

I've never heard a stronger argument for adult (male) Garanimals!

I feel your pain

I work in the apparel business.

An employee's boyfriend isn't allowed to shop in my store anymore due to the fact he was seen wearing one of our logo'd shirts (in blue) with PINK pants (do they even make those for guys?).

Wal Mart

Over stressed spandex and curlers.

One size fits all doesn't really mean that literally.

They were probably white...until he did the laundry....

 

[Silverlily]

ugh, don't remind me of WalMart, Prozac's not cheap, ok?

No, they were really pink, or rather mauve (his words).

While we're at it, what the hell is wrong with some women? Please do not attempt to squeeze your butt into pants three sizes too small and blame my company when they don't fit. We sell clothes, not pipe dreams.

My worst fashion memory

As a teen (late '70s), our family was in Hawaii on vacation - I woke up at dawn and saw my dad just as he was leaving the room for an early round of golf. He was actually wearing plaid pants and a striped button-up shirt , in the most hideously clashing colors imaginable. The horror, the horror.

I've never let him forget it. His excuse was that he'd dressed in the dark so as not to wake anyone else. But he admitted that he really didn't think his outfit looked that bad. Needless to say, we never let him dress himself again...

Years later, I married a man who is colorblind - but at least he has the sense to always check with me before he leaves the house. Barb's idea of Garanimals for men is a good one!

I thought golfers were automatically excused taste. People who wear Pringle jumpers, plus fours and two tone shoes, can never be described as having style.

Garanimals for men sounds good. (Even though I had to check Dogpile to find out what it meant.)

My personal clothing philosophy is " Never buy anything that in an emergency you wouldn't be prepared to calve a cow in."

Common sense and Fashion

I know, they don't really go in the same sentence these days, do they?
Okay fashion police help me here. My husband manages a men's clothing shoop. One of his part timers dresses in clothes too small for her. Not even attractive too small. She is a size 8 and wears clothes a size 6. Then gets very upset and put out if anyone notices or stares at her, or comments. It's a men's clothing store for goodness sakes. They are like wolves circling her sometimes. She ends up in the backroom crying at least oce a week because some guy made a comment, or some woman was bitchy to her. He, my Dreamer, has tried talking to her, but it isn't really his forte. I think he should make a general discuission about dress code and proper fitting clothes at the next meeting. Not singling her out, but making it clear that they are selling upscale men's clothing and need to look professional. he is a sucker when it comes to a pretty face in tears, which might come in handy sometimes for me, but is getting to him, and the men that work there.
The only other woman there has also tried but they aren't fond of each other so I think the tiny one thinks it's jealousy. The other woman is a size 18, and damn good looking i might add.

Oh well. I am rambling again. The point to this was to add woman, it is a reflection on you what he is wearing. You don't care? Then don't send him shopping by himself and then complain about the white shirt, red tie, black suit, again.

I've never heard a stronger argument for adult (male) Garanimals!

I knew a color blind guy more than 20 years ago who used this method for real. He was so bad, he drove a bright yellow Mustang because he said it was the easiest color for him to be able to identify in parking lots to find his car.

He had friends help him label all his clothes, just like Garanimals, so that he could dress himself. I don't remember exactly how it happened, but we found out he was color blind only because one day he didn't stick with his labeling scheme. He had purchased something new, I think, that he thought was one color but was really another. And he wore it to work in a professional environment. It was SO bad that no one could think he had just made a slight mistake getting dressed. And he didn't realize how bad it was until we said something. Until then, his Garanimals scheme had worked fine and none of us had a clue how color blind he really was.
