Mary's Top 25 Fashion Pet Peeves

There was an interesting post on the "Manolo for the Big Girl" blog (linked from shoeblogs.com) about what fashion fads should just die. There were many varied responses. Being obsessed and opinionated about fashion myself, I wanted to share my response on that blog but I was concerned that being NOT plus-size (for whom that particular blog is catered towards), my opinions might cause the other readers to chase after me with pitchforks and torches.

And so, here is my list of fashion pet peeves (in no particular order):

1. Crocs
2. Uggs (an abomination, and there should be NO reason to wear them when it's 90 degrees outside)
3. bubble-hem skirts
4. distressed jeans (why would you want to pay extra money to have your jeans looked like they've been worn by someone else?)
5. thongs
6. high-waisted jeans
7. puffy jackets/coats
8. pointy-toed boots
9. platform shoes
10. anything showing your midriff
11. booties
12. pants with anything written across the butt
13. puff sleeves
14. cheap shoes
15. sequins
16. anything from Wal-Mart
17. knit-fabric gauchos
18. blouson shirts
19. stonewashed jeans with matching jacket
20. oversized slouchy sweaters
21. animal prints of ANY kind
22. trucker hats
23. fake/counterfeit bags
24. anything furry
25. 80s-styled Ray-Ban sunglasses

Eh, turns out I have more than just 25 pet peeves (will be continually updated as I find that just disgust/astonish/dismay me):

26. exposed bra straps
27. oversized handbags
28. dyed hair (yes, you heard me, I don't liked dyed hair--it's very fake)
