What's the worst fashion problem you've fallen victim to?
 
 Mine would be stirrup pants, oversized sweater, shirt collar turned up, long strands of fake pearls and white Reebok high tops.  With "big bar hair".

Low ride pants....ugh.  I seem to be constantly hiking them up.  I hate anything that I have to adjust, tug on, pull, fuss with or pull out of my crack.

Hey Lil Me,

Those stir up pants with the sweater is in now.  ;)

  Fashion faux pas for me were these ugly looking sweaters with prints on them and tacky looking sweats with big ugly red-black printed dorky looking glasses...... that was when I was in elementary school.  I started to dress better in senior high school.  

  Oh, I also remember owning a pair of purple jeans.  OMG UGLY!

LOL, glad to know that I wasn't alone. :)))  Oh, how I hated these plastic HUGE frames.  YUCK!  But, I had no choice and didn't care about my looks at that time.  

  How have you changed now, Lil Me or anyone else?

Do you care more about your appearance or looks or the way you dress?

  For me, because I work at an office, I have to dress accordingly.  I do like to stay somewhat close to what is out there in terms of fashion, but I stick to my own comforatble clothes.  I wouldn't go out to work in something that didn't pair well.  I like to have my jewelry as well.  The way I see it is, I enjoy my body and I've got to dress it the way it suits my body.  

  I think that I've been watching way too many episodes of "What Not To Wear." LOL.

I don't think that guys are into fashion too much.  My guy is the same. He wears whatever is comfortable and clean. :)

  Speaking of fashion, Army and Navy has their annual mega shoe sale and I can't believe how women would actually line up and be in the crowds buying those shoes.  I dislike crowds like that!

LOL, I know all about the smell test.  He recently did 6 loads of laundry and guess what?  He has 2 more to go for ALL of his clothes!  It sucks not to have insuite laundry cuz I would make sure that laundry is done.

pl- you are totally going to laugh at this- I CHOSE the big red glasses.  I liked them :)
 
 The "sniff test" is only valid if your nostrils are in good working order.  Mr LM's clearly aren't, because he's immune to the smells of sweat, fart, diesel and rocks.  After 10+ years, we're fairly blunt with each other in this department.
 
 One of the pitfalls of working from home is that my wardrobe has taken a beating.  I try to look decent if I'm going "out" somewhere, but the rest of the time it's cutoffs and shortalls- or PJ pants/ Costco yoga pants in the winter.  I went to high school during the Grunge era, and I don't think I ever grew out of it.  I'm wearing a plaid lumberjack vest today!

Guys get off pretty easy.  Mr. P.C. was jeans and sweatshirt guy at his last job of many years.  Now he's shirt and tie guy.  He could care less about fashion.When he goes shopping for clothes, he brings me.....then he holds something up and says...."Do I like this?"

If I was at home, I would be lounging around in comfy clothes like yourself, Lil Me. :))  as soon as I get home from work, I slip into something more comfy..sweats and tees.. Why were bras invented?  Some of them are so darn uncomfy!

     That's me too. I need a new wardrobe. I can't believe I've let myself go.... I guess when you have two kids, it's so hard to think what to dress up. I try to be presentable but I've been known to go to the shops in my track suit pants.

  My husband dresses better than me. I guess it's part of his charm of being a metrosexual and proud of it.

I'm jelling, Lise.  Mr Lise probably smells good.
