{Fashion} Crimes against humanity!

Be nice to JessP folks – she’s from Charnwood …

Looks like you flushed some of the resident frumps and scruffs, JessP!

I do feel your pain, those of you who responded with such venom. I understand. But please, cover your arses when you wear leggings in future, OK? Fat or thin, just cover them. Thanks.

And wash your coats, after pulling off the redundant labels. They are smelly.

In defence of jeggings, the chick on the supre jeggings ad I saw the other night is fah-reaking fine. I’m happily hetero but I’d turn for her. If she wants to come to my house wearing jeggings and do her little dance it’s completely cool with me.

In regards to the OP, what gives you the right to determine what people should wear? There’s a lot of people that don’t give a sweet god damn what others think of their style and more power to them. In fact I’m willing to bet nearly every single person in Canberra and the surrounding regions doesn’t care what you think of their clothes.

I think chicks picking on other peoples (specifically other chicks) fashion style either comes out of high-school bitchiness or plain old jealousy. Just mind your own business would be my advice.

Skateboard hats with the label and price still on it, with the little plastic hook…. i just dont get it.

Having said that, if people want to fork out x hundred for those leather pants or torn jeans, then good luck to them. helping australias economy along.

Lolz…. “But its a W neck”

OP, I want to meet you so I can kick you in the face and ask you about fashion again.

The south side are the worst offenders!

Nudity is not a style.

I read the post and was about to comment, but then I saw comment #1:

Thank you Solidarity, you pretty much nailed it.

Where’d you get those blue blue jeans?

canberra will never be the fashion capital of australia with such a small population – the fashionista only ever stand out in large populations or get swallowed up by the bogan australian mainstream… nonetheless, the things some people choose to wear are a hoot. not sure the government could fund fashion police, but perhaps there could be chaser-like citizen-issued tickets, payable to op shops?

and on op shops, when did sickson salvo’s clothing bins go??

It wouldn’t be worth dignifying this if I wasn’t procrastinating, but I am, so:

First: I would like to offer a cookie to the Rioter who can come up with the most creative way to wear leggings in some other way than as an item of clothing.

EvanJames:” It’s amazing how many very fat females think that leggings are trousers, do they not have eyes?”

So it would be less of a crime if the ‘female’ wasn’t ‘very fat’? Or is it that because they are ‘very fat’ you require them to be more conscious of the way they look so as to not offend your sense of aesthetics?

Finally: On what do you base the underlying assumption that all of these ‘crimes’ are exclusive in some way to Canberra?

JessP you might enjoy this leggings ‘Do’s and Don’ts’ I came across the other day…

This one did make me laugh though….

Those tags on jackets and coats which proudly proclaim that the said item of clothing is made of wool/cashmere or whatever months/years after item was purchased. They are not a symbol of honour (oh look – I am wear a jacket with wool in it!!) they are a tag that should be removed!!

Actually, now I think of it I was forced into this one only recently:

“Girls in overcoats/scarves/gloves with bare legs and strappy shoes in the day time! If its that cold you need something warmer on the legs ladies!!”

Some occasions require a gal to wear a cocktail dress & stockings – even when these occasions take place in the middle of winter. If you think it’s uncomfortable to look at, it’s a lot worse from my side – but if I’d showed up in dress pants and a nice jumper, you can bet your bottom dollar I’d get a hell of a lot more comments on that!

Sigh…

Sounds like the kind of hate spewed from a jealous woman unable to wear said clothing, is a little past her Best Before date, and unable to understand a generational gap.

waste not want not. I still have all my clothes from the 80s and they still fit. So i still wear them. You don’t like it? don’t look.

If there’s nothing wrong with them, they fit, I’ll wear them.

who made you fashion god of the week?

bye!

Whilst I’m not guilty of any of the above ‘crimes’, I know I fail in the fashion stakes quite often – know why? Because I couldn’t give a rat’s arse if you like what I’m wearing. I like it, and it’s appropriate, and that’s enough for me. When other women feel the need to point out items of my clothing and make negative comments on them, I feel the strong need to reply ‘Well, some of us don’t need to try quite so hard to look good – we just pop some clothes on and we’re awaaaaaaay’.

“Fashion is something so ugly we have to change it every six months.” – Oscar Wilde

I’m inclined to say every three months these days.

I don’t think there is such a thing as a fashion crime! Seriously… if we all conformed to the homogenised idea of ‘fashionable’ then this town would end up winning – not the fashion stakes – but the boring stakes! Diversity in style should be celebrated… at the very least, if you dissaprove look away!

Oh, the dreaded leggings disaster. There is a girl who works near here who committs the most heinous legging crimes. I swear one pair she wears are actually stockings, they look like stockings, you can see her arse, her underpants, everything through them. And she wears them like trousers with nothing covering said arse.

It’s amazing how many very fat females think that leggings are trousers, do they not have eyes?

Another Canberra dressing disaster is those long curly shoes young men are wearing. And not-so young men. They look dreadful, but even worse when they get scruffy.

And people, even coats need to be cleaned. Yes really. Anyone who catches public transport will have experienced the delightful musty odors of mothballs, mildew, cooking smells and smoke on the coats of some people.

Ladies! Those stilettos look amazing (you don’t though, while tottering along) but when the heels get all scuffed and shredded, take them to the shoe fixing place. They are those places with lots of shoes and keys in them. Have them fixed.

Get a life.
