This bright tie dyed skirt and orange tank top are almost as colorful as the rides at the local Church Festival where I spotted this woman. The straw hat really gives this outfit a certain panache and Screams, "TAKE ME TO AN ISLAND RESORT", (where people drink alcohol all day and won't notice this fright.)
A close up view because it's kind of like a train wreck, you can't look away.
I happen to know as a verified fact that they sell jeans for all body types that actually fit and flatter. I guess this lady did not get the memo or mistakenly wore someone else's jeans, because clearly THESE DO NOT FIT. Also, you might want to stay away from bringing attention to the widest part of your anatomy with embroidered rear pockets.
I kept waiting for a small rodent to crawl out of this woman's hair. How long do you think it takes to tease this literal rat's nest? Hey, Lady, The Eighties called and they want their Aqua Net and teasing comb back. Whoa, time to invest in another mirror so you can see back there.
Okay, Okay, I know, Bad Blogger Martha, Bad, bad blogger for combining the joyful meme of The Color Carnival hosted by dear Martha of The Menagerie with some misguided Fashion Choices of women who had the unfortunate luck of crossing my path while I had my camera. I hope you enjoy as much as I did seeing these Fashion Don'ts. My best to you and yours for lots of Fashion Dos and a wonderful weekend too. Thanks for stopping by, let the public flogging begin...

2nd pic- i hurt looking at those jeans .. and i'm not even the one wearing those poured into jeans..
3rd pic- oh the horror of the hair! it's just scary!!!
have a wonderful wkend!!
Oh boy. . .
Whoever told the woman in the second photo to buy those jeans is.not.her.friend.
Also, I think they should be whacked upside the head with a
Vogue magazine.
It's a simple case of "no friends, no mirrors"!! Just as bad over here in London, I can assure you!
Wow! My grandmother always says "They thought they looked good when they left the house..."
Hahaha! I'm just glad I didn't find a picture of me in there!
*guilty snigger*

Seriously--don't also roll up your jeans so they are short and tight. That is all wrong. I see it all the time. Oh well. Proud of you for not wearing white--but I'll tell you I've been eyeing my white pants but I need the right white for this time of year!!! oxox

I am so laughing over here! I would not have been able to hold the camera still on the rat's nest--I'd be shaking with laughter too hard.
OMG, you really have some balls Martha. How on earth do you catch these shots without people wondering what you are shooting? First lady's skirt reminds me of a snowcone, second jean's I see ALL THE DANG TIME!!! WTF, with not buying YOUR size in the jeans, looks soooo painful :(
Oh and the hair, well, she is probably thin and trying to make the best of it poor thing, maybe from the big hair generation of the 60's? awwwww
That lady's hair reminds me of the woman that the two cashiers and I were snickering at in the grocery store one day...Bad 80's hair, frizzed out from overstyling, teased to within an inch of its life, standing literally a foot off of her head. It's so mean to laugh, but I just couldn't help it.
I'm not sure who thinks the tie-dyed sack is a good design...I blame the clothing manufacturers.
As to the jeans lady...I have the feeling that she used to look cute in that sort of outfit and hasn't gotten the memo that things have changed in the southward areas.
Thanks for sharing...I needed a laugh to kill this last half hour of work!
Oh Gosh, you made me laugh today and I seriously needed it!
Oh Martha -- I just can't imagine my blogroll without you.
That was too funny! We have quit going to fairs for a variety of reasons, but I think I'll have to go next year for the sole reason of exploting bad fashion!!!
I nearly fell over laughing picturing you with your camera, stealth like, getting these shots.
Oh my goodness, what people wear out in public amazes me. I've got a good one I think I'll post for CC next Friday and we'll compare notes OK?
The colored skirt is eye-catching...we do have them here, plenty of designs and at a good price.

Oh my goodness! You are terrible... lol... I miss my colorful muscle pants... remember those.... :)
I think they forgot to look in the mirror before they step out of the house! lol
these were great; I always think you can wear anything in So. Calif and get away with it. there is no fashion sense for the majority of people who live here
betty
This is just too funny! I can't stop going back to look at the rats nest hair! They are all bad but that one gets the prize! Yikes!
Lol! Too funny.
I wonder what could you possibly wear with that skirt to make it look good??? Umm nothing!!
Poor people... I am definitely going to pay attention to what I wear today now, you never know who is out there with a camera ;)
Stopping by from SITS Saturday.
LOL
It reminds me of the firemen's carnival I work at every year. I should chronicle the event but - I'm afraid, very afraid of the fashion choices out there.
Oh my ... views from the rear can be pretty awful can't they? Entertaining shots for those of us NOT in the photos ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
Happily Retired Gal
I have no respectable words to describe these photos! Great post on these fashion don'ts!
Those were great photos and remind me to always check my rear view :-)
Lol!
I'm kinda glad we don't live near each other, so I don't see myself in one of these posts of yours. :) What I don't know can't hurt me, right?!
Oh my God. If my butt ever looks like that in jeans somebody better tell me!
I have a few of my own misguided pictures like these they are so fun to take love that colorful skirt but personally it is not for me
haha - enjoyed your colors!!~~~i'm late, but mine's up!!
