Fashion Don'ts for The Color Carnival

Welcome to The Color Carnival and buckle your seatbelts, there is a whole lotta questionable style choices going on in LA!

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...

Fashion at the Farmer's Market

I love our weekly Farmer's Market not only for the bounty of incredible produce but also for the great people watching and fashion sightings. (Please double click photos for a closer view. Thank you.)


Prints are very popular this summer and really punch up an outfit. This combination of grey and yellow on this woman's top is very eyecatching.

I love prints in bright summer colors like this orange/pink dress, but I do NOT Get Maxi dresses. I cannot walk normally with that much fabric flowing around my legs.

This dark haired young lady was the highlight of my fashion scope out. Her hair is tinted blue and she was wearing a pink crinkled shift underneath a long black tshirt with holes cut out all over creating a lacey effect. She accessorized the outfit with club entry wristbands. She owned it and looked great.

Our club going blue haired beauty needs to teach her mom how to dress and avoid light blue mini skirts and too tight shirts after the age of 22 y/o. There is nothing more sad or pathetic than seeing an adult, male or female, dressing like they are 16 y/o when that was 30 years ago. Not to say you can't be fashion forward at any age, but Fabric and Fit Matter!! And don't get me started on the Two Toned Skunk Hair with the bands of blond and dark brown. Did they run out of hair dye at the drugstore?


Have you seen any Great Fashion Finds or Faux Pas in your community lately? Thank you so much.

"Who Inspires Your Style?" (from www.laist.com)

This lady looks like she can make a killer borscht. Not everyone can wear yellow (with matching kerchief) with such panache. The footwear totally completes this look with style. Hope you have a great weekend!
