Nice Nice Baby? Hardly.
Harem pants. Harem Pants. I just don’t know where to begin with them, or what exactly to say. I am at a complete loss of words when it comes to these bizarre-looking pants, and even more so as to why these… things… became popular again. There is absolutely NOTHING flattering about these pants, and unless you need to fit a diaper under them or want to smuggle something in your pants, there is absolutely NO REASON why you should even be considering these TERRIBLE pants. Why would anyone want a pair of pants that is baggy and saggy in every area except for the ankles? If you want Baggy&Saggy, you might as well put on a pair of Mom jeans, they do the same thing. Harem pants will make you look not only like a stupid clown (and really, these pants SHOULD belong in the circus not only because you’ll look like a clown in them, but also because they’re just so laughable as fashion trends) or a horse. You know those Disney horses with the huge ass and tiny ankles? Just LOOK at the resemblance! Besides the shape of the pants themselves, think of how unwearable they are – like, what shoes would you wear with them? Ballet flats? Boots? I have no idea. I guess the only good thing about these pants is that you can reuse them for your Halloween costume as Aladdin or MC Hammer when you realize these pants are a HUGE FAIL.
I guess MC Hammer did have something right when he wrote that song “U Can’t Touch This”… I’m not sure if he was speaking directly about the pants made famous in this song, but yeah, he’s right – YOU SHOULD NOT BE TOUCHING THOSE PANTS! Luckily, I have yet to see anyone wearing these pants on the street, and up until today I hadn’t seen them in any stores (found them at H&M and Dynamite… *shudders*) I’m kind of hoping I do see some random wannabe fashionista wearing them so I can have a good laugh. HAHAHAHAHAHA … fugly excuses of pants.

Pyjamas? REALLY?
So while out shopping today, I saw someone in their pyjamas. PYJAMAS! And you know what the saddest part is? I think this “trend” is becoming more and more frequent these days. I am not sure if it’s because people are lazy but LORD JESUS how lazy do you need to be that you cannot toss on a pair of jeans or sweat pants and a t-shirt for god sakes. At least DRESS yourself! I am getting really tired of people wearing their pyjamas out as normal clothing – why would anyone want to see you out in your yellow ducky pyjamas anyway? The only people who should be wearing their pyjamas out in public are newborn infants!!!! Even then I try to dress my children for public (added by Krista: or university students during exam times, and only if you’re going to a 9am exam) Why is it that as a society we cannot get ourselves dressed? Are we honestly THAT lazy?? I just don’t get it; you wouldn’t normally see anyone in a popular or trendy neighbourhood in their jamies?? So why is it people in the Durham Region think this is an acceptable form of attire? (Added by Krista: Scarborough people also seem to think pyjamas are acceptable to wear outside. You look stupid. STOP IT!!!)
PLEASE NOTE: Take a look at the above picture. Doesn't she look stupid? Tesco thought so too, when this woman (Elaine, 24, mother of 2) was BANNED from shopping at Tesco in the UK this year. GOOD FOR YOU, TESCO!!! I really think Toronto ought to do this!!

A Rant about Maternity Clothing
I would like to comment on the crappy clothing choices that pregnant women have to choose from. Being seven months pregnant myself, I very much dislike the choices that are at Thyme and Motherhood Maternity, let alone the price tag that goes along with them. I am a younger mom-to-be and I really don’t feel like I should have to wear baggy saggy jeans that are not long enough (I am 5’8) and just don’t fit properly. What’s worse are those tops with lace and paisley!! Whoever thought expectant mothers should only wear those two prints must have been on crack. I think paying almost $30 for a simple t-shirt is totally rediuclous, and why are they all old-looking and non fashionable? Aren’t pregnant women generally between the ages of 20-40? Yeah. I’m not saying that we should all dress like hoochies, but I don’t think I need to look like I’m 90 years old. I seem to find some things I like at Old Navy or whatever, but most times I have to buy a large or extra large in any normal stores. Also, why are things so expensive for maternity? I just don’t get it. I know you need a bit more material to manufacture things to fit a belly, but really, since when do I need to pay $60-70 for jeans?? Especially jeans I’m only going to wear for a few months – after all, it’s not like I can wear them sans belly, right? And what about jackets? HELLO! Pregnant people get cold too!! Why am I always wearing my husband’s sweaters to keep warm? And why are all the shirts too short in length?? Some bellies grow wide and as we get bigger, we need length too!!! I really feel like the maternity stores should be consulting a younger panel of mothers to be rather than Betty White!
Headbands - fashion forward or fashion crime?
I hate them. Hate hate hate hate. I’m not talking about those cute little bands with bows and stuff that Blair made famous on Gossip Girl, but those stupid hippy bands that circle the whole head and are reminiscent of everyone’s favourite Disney Native – yes, Pocahontas.Now, it’s cool if you want to look like Pocahontas, but I’m not sure why anyone who isn’t under the age of 10 would want to resemble a fictional Disney character, do you? Plus, it just looks ridiculous. What sort of outfit could this fashion fad be worn with anyway? Moccasins and an animal-skin dress come to mind, but when’s the last time you saw THAT on a runway? Oh, that one which John Smith attended as a VIP? Thought so. ALSO, like WHY would anyone want to wear that, what is the appeal? It serves no function but to make it look as if your head is in need of being kept together by a huge elastic band. Plus, if you take that off, you’re going to have a weird imprint on your forehead, and you kiiiind of look like an alien.
Let’s examine this picture. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY???? This looks dumb, PEOPLE! WHAT does Nicole Ritchie have on her head? Not only is it a headband, but what is that on top? Oh, it’s trying to be a hat now or something? Oh, I see (but not quite.) Micha Barton is about the only one who is able to somewhat look normal in it, mainly because she tries to be boho… well, I have my own issues with Micha Barton, so I’ll forgive her for looking absolutely ridiculous. Paris Hilton… REALLY? You look like an elf, just stop.

Dressing for your body, and wearing leggings as pants - a rant.
Hello fellow fashionistas & amateur critics,
Today I would like to rant about something that really pisses me off, and gets me more annoyed than pretty much anything else in the world... well, two things really: people who do not know how to dress for their body, and people who wear leggings as pants.
First of all, why is it that people do not know how to dress for their body? HELLO, not everyone is a size 2 people, especially in today's society, SO STOP THINKING YOU CAN FIT INTO A SIZE 2!!! You will look like a sausage. A yucky German sausage (not that I have anything against german sausages, but I have everything against people who look like them.) Have you ever noticed that sizes have gotten bigger in the past few years? A size 0 should not be too big on me, yet most of the time it is. You know why this is? To prevent people from looking bad when trying to squeeeeeeze into a size 2! However, it still happens.
Also, just because you can squeeze into a size 2 does not mean you should. Question: since when are Muffin Tops and Love Handles attractive? Answer: since never. SO DON'T DO IT!!! People, you look rediculous. Do you really want people to be like OMG look at her muffin top instead of saying omg look at how good she looks? I think not. <--Look at this picture, for example. There is absolutely nothing attractive about her too-short t-shirt and her too-tight pants. Absolutely nothing at all. What she should do is get a tshirt that fits, and then go up a size or two in her pants. THAT WAY this muffin-top business can be avoided, and this poor girl and her poor fashion decision would not end up on the internet. SO LIKE I don't understand why people still try to fit into clothes that obviously do not fit them, or do not suit their body! Why not find your actual size and look good? Beats me. But also, it's not only people who have a few pounds to lose and try to make themselves into a German sausage that piss me off, but also people who just don't know their bodies, and don't know how to dress them! People who have a few extra pounds and try to cover it up by wearing baggy no-cling clothing look equally as bad. Your baggy pants do not make you look smaller, they draw attention to how badly your clothes are fitting, and actually make you look bigggggggggggeeerrr. Or, people who are tall and wear pants that are just a tad too short, and vice versa (although I'm sure I'll be going into detail about these issues a little later, so I won't bother to mention them now.) Mainly, people who have a little bit extra to them and think they're hot shit by squeezing into rediculously tight clothes are just annoying. You look ghetto, stop it.
On that same note, why do people wear leggings as pants? I'll never understand that. The worst is people who wear them with t-shirts. Hello, the last thing I want to see after a nauseating day at work is something even more nauseating: your ass. I get it that leggings are now all the rage, and it has to do with bringing back the '80s or whatever, and that's cool. Perfectly cool - but please, wear this fashion trend properly. Wear them with a longer t-shirt, perhaps put it with a long cardigan and add a belt. That's cool. Pair it with a nice pair of heels or flats, and you got yourself a nice outfit. HOWEVER, please remember that leggings ARE NOT and NEVER WILL BE a substitute for pants. There is a reason we wear pants, and that's so our asses are not exposed. Going back to the whole dressing for your body business, today I saw a terrible, terrible outfit that made me want to throw up a little in my mouth. This girl - poor girl - was wearing beige leggings with a huge sweatshirt... but her ass and ALL HER CELLULITE could be seen. Girls, please... please please please... never ever let your cellulite be seen UNDER your clothes. Buy one size bigger, it won't hurt I promise. Also, if you insist (and really, please don't) on wearing your leggings as pants, make sure they are not see-through and WEAR PROPER UNDERGARMENTS!!!!! La Senza and Victoria's Secret sell a nice pair of panties called the "ITEC" which allows people to not have panty-lines. WEAR THOSE. Don't even bother wearing a thong if your cellulite is showing, because your ass is probably wobbely. YUCK. Also, if you're wearing leggings that are tight enough to see your cellulite, your thong is also probably too small and is, therefore, digging into you. Another no-no that I will cover in a future post. And girls, just because you may not consider yourself overweight doe
s not mean you should think it's ok for you to wear leggings as pants. Let's take a look at this picture of Jennifer Love Hewitt, shall we? She is, by no means, fat. BUT look! You can see her cellulite, her ass, the fact that her underwear is NOT fitting her properly, and she has a double butt (you know, that little part that bunches up under your buttcheek when your pants are too tight? Yah.). And to think people who actually are big wear clothes like this.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. People, just like age, clothing size is nothing but a number. You should remember that, when trying something on, look at how the clothes are fitting you rather than the size, and this goes for people of all shapes, sizes, and colours. I know in some stores I am a size 6, whereas in others, a size 0 is too big. Take a look in the mirror and think - would I criticize how I look if it were on someone else and I saw it walking down the street? If the answer is yes... get a different size. Ask people who work in the store their opinions - they are trained to tell you how to dress for your body, they're not just there to sell things to you. As for pants as leggings? JUST DON'T DO IT, and everything will be ok.
Love,
Hollista

OMG EWWW!
So while watching a show Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kim was wearing this terrible red and white "dress" (quotations are necessary because "it" was really terrible). First off, she isn't a huge lady but she is not the smallest chicken in the closet either. Second the "dress" was far too short for her height and it would probally look better on a french poodle. And can we talk about those boobs? PLEASE. They could poke your eye out! Therefore, find a dress that fits! Maybe that belt around her waist was trying to do something for her figure, but let's face it with those boobs and thunder thighs (we have nothing against big thighs, I have them but I dress to flatter them) a lot more needs to be added to the equation to make the result better or even remotely flattering.
Also, in the same episode, what was with the white top hat? Is she a magician? She looked like the Trix Rabbit. Silly Kim, top hats should not be worn. Overall, poor dressing in one single episode, imagine the rest.

So like we are sick and tired of people trying to be fashionable and it failing miserably, or people just not caring at all. We are sure others feel the same. Our blog will be dedicated to good and bad fashion, and fashion faux-pas.
We like to rant and rave and we hope you will join in with us!
