Harem pants - You aren't MC Hammer but you DO look like you have shit yourself.

That messy back combed only just in a bobble hair - that's my hair in a morning. Sort it out love.

Midriff baring - Only a few can get away with this.....under 6 year old girls and v slim, toned, in proportion students.(girls obv Wink)

Tutu type skirts on adults - you aren't a ballerina!

Shorts and tights - If it's cold enough for tights then it's too cold for shorts!

Where did all the half size shoes go??

Brogues for women - just why?

Can I add:

-Painted on eyebrows as if you're channelling your inner drag queen

-Just because an item is available in your size doesn't mean it looks good on someone your size (and I'm not just talking about larger ladies here)

Odd eyebrows in general should be on the list!

T shirts with Disney characters on. Fine if you are under 10. Not fine if you are a grown up.

Tights - just because. They are the work of Satan.

Waistcoats. You are either wearing a jumper or you are not. Get off the fence.

Those bows in the front of bras. For the love of Pete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF is it for??????????????

Adults' pjs with bunnies and teddies on. Just grow up.

I like and wear harems and brogues

Verso · 04/02/2011 19:08

I like brogues too!

Ooopsadaisy · 04/02/2011 19:10

noddyholder - harems and brogues together?

sharbie · 04/02/2011 19:11

brogues are fab

noddyholder · 04/02/2011 19:11

No not together!

BookcaseFullofBooks · 04/02/2011 19:11

My name is Bookcase and I wear cuddly pyjamas

Panzee · 04/02/2011 19:12

If you're admitting to these you need to explain. I need brogues explaining please!

Ooopsadaisy · 04/02/2011 19:13

Phew - I was a bit worried there, noddy!

I had you down as a sort of cross between Stephen Fry and MC Hammer. The mind boggles.

noddyholder · 04/02/2011 19:14

I am a cross between them!

Ooopsadaisy · 04/02/2011 19:17

What do you wear on top of your harems and brogues?

I'm thinking Madonna type bustiere with pointed bra?

On your head? One of those lovely hats the Queen Mum used to wear.

Lovely.

I will not hear a word said against brogues Smile

bestmamaderwelt · 04/02/2011 19:44

Brogues-really not an issue, great if your going smart casual. Eyebrows-nowt wrong with a strong well groomed eye brow, much better than the over plucked eyebrow or the tadpole.

Have to agree with shorts and tights its a bit like blokes who were t-shirts and scarves Angry it just doesn't make sense. The other one i don't get is really expensive (what looks like) sports wear ie jack wills hoodies and 90 quid jogging bottoms??? Oh and those high heeled shoe boots that end up making the wearer look like Mr Tumnus.

sharbie · 06/02/2011 15:19

blimey my mum has just got some brogues - her last pair of shoes were clogs.

MoonGirl1981 · 06/02/2011 16:19

I have no idea what brogues are.

Agree with the eyebrow thing. Round here many are removed and drawn on. I used to work with a Nigerian lady with black hair who drew her eyebrows on with red lipliner.

Why?
