Default What do you look like?

I was unlucky enough to be back in the UK recently and noticed hordes of (usually trashy/fat/fashion victim type) women wearing cardigans and coats that appeared to have half of the material missing.

Like this




I'm sure there are some 'ladies' on here who are commiting the same crimes against style so I'd just like to share something with you......





IT MAKES YOU LOOK STUPID




A bit like the idiots who were all wearing ponchos last year, although mercifully I noticed they all seem to have vanished now.


Husbands, boyfriends do the female in your life a favour and share this information with them. Unless of course you're one of the muppets I saw with a spikey hairstyle and striped top/distressed jeans I saw chavving it up in the town centre. In which case you'll probably want to ignore my sage advice.

The UK:-is it possible for it to sink any lower? It plumbs new depths every time I come back and the sad thing is I only visit the 'nice' places.

And what exactly do *you* look like then, seeing as you're so critical of everyone else?

And no, I don't dress like that

Like someone with taste and style rather than a fashion victim with a cardigan that shrunk in the wash.

Please note I wasn't criticising their fat bloated and pasty bodies (or their vile orange fake/sunbed tanned bodies come to that). I'm saving that for another thread.

As for coming back to the UK I do try to minimise my time in 'sh1tland' but some meetings just don't work in video conferencing.

While not being 'from the darkside' myself I have to say that at least someone who dares to look a little different from the norm is probably a far more interesting person than some fool who wears whatever is 'in' this month (although usually by the time they jump on the bandwagon everyone else is doing it, hence it's unfashionable)

The point is she wouldn't be seen dead in it now all the drongos are dressing in it. Fashionable? A good rule of thumb for you is that if you see a bunch of other women with ironed, straight hair and the same shrunken cardigans you're probably a victim.

It's a fickle assumption to judge people's personality by what clothes wear..... so it would appear you're fickle then?

Note use of the word 'probably' as qualification. It's all part of stereotyping, something which fascinates me.

I travel a lot, most of it through work, as a result I spend a lot of time waiting around for flights. I find a great way to relieve the tedium is to 'people watch'. Sometimes I'll study a subject for a while and draw my own conclusions about them and then initiate conversation in order to find out if I'm correct. I reckon in 80% of cases I'm absolutly spot on in my assumptions.
