You were not? Were you?

I was guilty of 2 that I know of.

Tatoos on women, especially the one on the small of the back that looks like the Aerosmith logo.

Hip huggers and belly tees without the belly for it. Saw quite a bit of that at Disney last week.

I sort of like panty lines when the rest of the oufit is put together - I guess I'm the minority on that one.

My fashion pet peeve is women who wear ankle bracelets with stockings over them, seems to negate the purpose of both.

Oh god. Belly shirts with bellys hanging out are so gross. Yet you see it ALL the time.
Makes you wonder...

Lydia, I am very confused by that statement!

"I sort of like panty lines when the rest of the oufit is put together - I guess I'm the minority on that one."

sportsnut - Totally agree with you on the belly shirt thing -- I wouldn't ever think of wearing those. I definitely don't have the body for it and I'm GLAD I realize it. Other people don't seem to.

I'll tell. My nail polish was chipping, but it was a sheer pale color so I don't think it was too noticable. Also, I was wearing a tank under a sheerish sweater and I noticed my bra strap falling onto my shoulder. (Through the sweater, so I don't know how noticable that was either. I'm very critical of myself.)

NO! That part (the jacket) was a joke and it came off after everyone saw it and (no one remembered its past— I also wore it to the Coronation when we were Jrs. Did you go to that?)
I am having a hard time parting with that brocade lamé wonder.

Not dressing your age.

Toe rings on anyone over 22
Mid-thigh length or shorter skirts on anyone over 39 (unless you are Tina Turner)
Hose with open toes
Sneakers with anything other than jeans or sweats
Sweats in public
Belly shirts on anyone over 18
Lack of a bra on any woman who flunks the pencil test
Tight shirt over a belly, even if it tucks in
Tiered skirts or hip bows/belts on anyone whose hips are wider than their shoulders

And a general, fail-safe rule of thumb: if you were around to wear it the first time it was in style, you are too old to wear it now! This is a timely reminder because the 80s seem to be back and Lord knows that was a deep, dark time in the history of fashion....

Men who tuck their sweatshirts into their jeans.

The pencil test is when a woman places a pencil under her breast. If the pencil falls, your good, if it stays, your well....saggy.

I guess I won't be allowed to wear "units" or "multiples" as a mini skirt anymore will I?

I pass the pencil test (with flying colors!) but still I should leave the house wearing a bra.

Boy, you people are mean! And arbitrary. Forget the rules based on age! My wife looks great in those clothes that are popular with young folks.

And what's wrong with hairy chests? Without chest hair, I'd be less manly. Or at least more womanly.
