I don't really like when people wear a purse with athletic wear. Like you've put on fancy leggings, some sort of stretchy athletic top, sneakers - and a purse? Just get something with pockets to stash your phone in or wear a fanny pack.


Yes to all of this

The hi/lo hem worked great for my short self. It's always hard to find maxi dresses that I don't need to alter, shorter hem in the front solved that problem. The overall length of that style dress is shorter too so the back never goes all the way to the ground either.

Anything with a drop shoulder. This looks good on no one. Mom jeans are also hideous unless you're 12 years old.

I don't see these hemlines much anymore. I feel like that was very Real Housewives/Boomer in Key West like 10-12 years ago.

Lucky for you tho, I have to turn sideways to get my puffy sleeves through a doorway, so that would seriously hinder my attack!

Tops that just graze the waistline. It's like we are back in the 90s.

Yes, I was thinking this, too. Cropped tops and oversized tops/sweaters are both popular right now and both seem very 90's. I did both in the 90's but now would only consider the oversized.


Yeah, I don't love crop tops. Particularly all the crop tops + mom jeans around now. Its not that they're unflattering in the sense they make people look "fat"--because I get the PPs who note that fit ladies can show off their waists. Its more that the combo throws your proportions all off. Like you have this little boxy torso then this looooong flat behind.

I do prefer the crop top and pencil skirt combo, now that I think of it, because it sort of avoids this outcome!

Agreed. Something very Carol Baskin/Tiger King about wearing animal print.


Yes - and I love it! I also think Carole has a fun style. I don't know - maybe I am just so bored of tasteful clothes that I really enjoy a little tackiness. Or a lot.

Expensive purses that have typical handles, and then has a removable thin shoulder strap that clips on with metal clasps. I can't fathom spending $3000 on these beautiful work of art purses, where the proportions between the bag and handles are so perfect, and then you use the shoulder strap - that best case looks like an afterthought with its little metal clips - and now have these superfluous handles on the bag that clutter against your body. I HATE this so much!


Agreed. Except I’d ditch the little handles and keep the long strap. Ain’t no one got time to carry a purse in one’s hand.


Amen.


+1, I think it's the dumb little handles that ruin the look of a bag, so just get one where the long strap is integral to the design.

Top PP, you must be really hating the aftermarket salt straps:https://www.shoppesalt.com/pages/salt-in-the-street.


YES- or make the dumb little handles a titch longer-- voila, very convenient shoulder bag where you can tuck the purse under your arm. YOu don't need the long cheap strap to have the bag flapping around you.
