Fashion Gone Wrong: Oh, no.

Hello everyone; my name is Elizabeth, and I am a bad-fashion lover.
Not to wear, oh no - but to post and marvel at the manufacturers/buyers of such garments. As you may have gathered from my previous posts, once I've spotted a cringe-inducing clothing item, it's only a matter of time before it appears on these pages. And, since I don't care to stop... I hope it brings you some enjoyment as well.
Chiffon pants. With a floral print, wide legs and "partially lined" to boot. Sorry, dear model, you don't even get shoe or bracelet kudos. Any balancing out your accessories could have done are obliterated by the sheer curtains on your legs. But hey, if you beg to differ (or appreciate their summertime cooling properties), head to Forever21.
Wonder Woman meets Vegas show? Oy. I'll leave it at that.
To be fair, they come in black and gray also at GoJane.com.

The whole cut-out idea that seems to be running rampant throughout footwear lately is something I must admit I just don't understand. These would work in summertime, yes, but then when you get to open-toed boots and shoes that look like they've gone through the shredder, I just don't see the point. These just strike me as a little clown-ish...although perhaps it's mainly the gold that's so offsetting. And, well, they're not my style - and that's just my opinion! If you disagree, check them out at Urban.
Didn't the fashion world cycle through the whole poncho thing six years ago? I mean, are we really that short on inspiration and new ideas at the moment? Don't get me wrong, those ponchos were comfy - and I have seen poncho-style wraps and shawls styled in great ways lately. But this is just too reminiscent of a 2004 catalog for me to be in on this go-around. Sorry, Delias, I won't be buying; but you can here.

Fashion Gone Wrong: Double Flower Headband

This Forever 21 headband is now on sale for only $2.99, and I'm not surprised. Halloween isn't for a few more months, and honestly, who goes as a goth-garden version of Princess Leia?

Fashion Gone Wrong: Open-Toe Socks

While shifting through the Forever 21 website, I came upon this interesting pair of socks.
Readers, I really have no idea - what in the world are these for? So you can wear flip-flops with them? Please enlighten me with the possible uses for these.

Fashion Gone Wrong: Cropped Chino Pant

Where do I start? These Brilliant Colours By Velour Twill Chino Pants ($58 @Urban Outfitters) are way too mom-ish - in a bad way. Don't get me wrong; I totally appreciate all styles of clothing, but when you're marketing cropped, high-waisted, pleated chinos to teens and twenty-somethings, I have to step in. How would you wear these? With a tucked-in shirt? Like the model, you could wear neutral heels to elongate the legs that the pants chop off. Or - and maybe this is just me - don't even wear them in the first place?
If you disagree, get them here.

Fashion Gone Wrong: Bebaroque Fringe Thigh High

Please, someone tell me - what would posess anyone to buy these Urban Outfitter tights? To me, it gives off the full "I'm a pony" effect. And unless I'm mistaken, looking like a pony (or any other maned creature, for that matter) isn't in style right now. Or ever.

The description says, "Sheer thigh highs trimmed with super fun and swingy fringe down the length". I just think it would make me feel like my legs had tails. But, then again, it's always fun to wear fabric trim down the backs of the legs - then you can feel like a pillow!



If you'd like to disagree, it's an easy DIY, or you can purchase them here.
