Back when I was in college we girls used to pore over Glamour magazine for the trends, the cool clothes, and our favorite feature, the Glamour don't. You know, the one where they showed all these women photographed unknowingly on the streets of Manhattan who had committed such horrible fashion faux pas that they were shown with black bars over their eyes.
Short slip, long see-through skirt. Long slip, short see-through skirt. White blouse, black bra (which is now right in style). Mesh top, white push-up bra. High-water pants and heels (again, right in style). And my personal favorite, panty lines. White pants, panty lines. Tight pants, panty lines. Tight white pants, panty lines. White pants, patterned panties, panty lines.
These days I don't read Glamour but I'm one big walking Glamour don't. I dress for comfort, not fashion, and if I never wear a pair of heels again it will be too soon. I see stylishly dressed women in their stilettos, textured hose, and suitcoats with contrasting scarf. They are accessorized to the nines and look quite amazing.
Then I see myself with my comfy flats, loose smock tops and basic slacks (the same brand in four different colors.) All that's missing is the black bar over my eyes. And the tight white pants. I do have some pride.

HAHA! I have zero fashion sense and I really don't care. I love to mix odd colors, like a purple tank top with an olive green shirt over it. I love socks and I will wear just about any socks with anything. I have tons of socks from the Gap in all different colored stripes! I wear them to work all the time. As long as my clothes are clean and ironed and aren't too tight or falling off of me....I am darn good to go. If I had a ton of money.....I would just buy more of the same kinds of stuff!! HAHA!
Amen to comfort. I love to wear comfort clothes...which is why mine are always bagging on me. I don't wear heels because it hurts. Plain and simple.
That is hilarious!! Thanks for the chuckle!!
