Not So Bling-tastic Belts

In my opinion, these belts are hideous. And if you're an adult and sportin one of these, let me just say that you either look like you borrowed a rodeo cowboy's bedazzled belt, or like you have Peter Pan syndrome and want to fit in with the likes of adolescents. Sorry, that's just my opinion, but it's honest! I just don't find these ugly belts to be in any way fashionable. They're fine for young people, but if you're an adult, these are just bad fashion choices. If you want to wear something with a little bit of a "western" feel or a tad bit of "bling" or embellishment, here are some better options:

Tattoo Fashion

When did people start thinking that it's cool to wear a T-shirt screen printed with a picture of a tattoo on it once you're over the age of 21 and then call that a high fashion garment? If your a teenager or in your early 20's, then I'm sure you can pull this look off and no one will think anything less of you. However, I can't tell you how many 30 and 40 somethings and even beyond, that I see out there wearing this crap! My opinion: If you fall into the category of 25 (hey, I'm giving you some lead way on this one!) and above: You're too OLD to walk around sporting some fugly Ed Hardy T-shirt with brightly colored circus looking pictures of skulls and poker cards!

Leave the Ed Hardy to the kids, please. And if your old ass is out there wearing this label, don't think you're too cool for school, you meat head or wanna be MILF. People are probably really making fun of you and how you look like an old ass dork!

Fake vs. Real

In my opinion, fake fingernails are disgusting! Besides what I think, though, these ugly things are just not high fashion. They scream street walker and "Hello, we're FAKE!"

"So what if I'm getting married", you say? Or how many times have you heard a bride say, "I'm getting my nails done just for my wedding"...and then you see them walking down the aisle with a fresh pair of "French" polished plastic pieces attached to their real nails?

Ladies, please! skip the acrylics and go au naturel. It's so much nicer. You want to look the part of the epitome of class on your oh so special day, don't you? Well, then go for a nice color of polish or get your real nails polished in a French manicure. Even if your nails are short, they'll still look nice....and better than those ugly fake things!

This Is NOT High Fashion, People!!

While perusing public places, watching reality television shows, or even checking out websites that claim to be affiliated with couture fashion, I quite often come across things that blow my mind! I see images of people sporting fashions (if that's what you even want to call it), that clearly do not define, in my mind, what high fashion is all about. Nor do the things that I see even come close to constituting what any sort of good sense of fashion is, either .

Just to name a few, here are some of the things that I really don't think the editors of Vogue would call high fashion pieces:

* Fake fingernails

* Ed Hardy clothing

* Sequined, embellished, or ugly studded belts

* Embellished jeans

* Hoochie mama mini dresses

* Crazy eye makeup

* Chest tattoos

* Pink hair extensions

* Skunk hair

* Way too wavy hair done with a hair tool

* Face piercings
