People wear black clothes because they once heard somewhere that black is slimming. While that is partially true, some people take the wearing black thing to the extreme by wearing nothing but black clothes. Some people wear them as fashion statement and not for purposes of looking thinner. It's hard for me to know exactly why this woman wears all black outfits, but from her overall look I suspect it's more of a fashion statement. Putting aside the lack of colors, this woman's outfit is a mess. I'm not sure what's happening with her various tops. The day I took this picture it was relatively cool, but not so cool as to require two sweaters. At least I didn't feel the need for all those layers. In short, she's a perfect mess.

Speaking of perfect messes, not more than five minutes after the woman above walked by me this poor fellow walked by me. I can only guess that this guy was in a big hurry because he overslept and had to rush out the door without taking off his PJs. What's worse is that his PJs are mostly hidden under what a total mess of a huge t-shirt thing. Top off the look with uncombed hair and red socks and you have a man who has to be color blind and clueless.

I put these two together because they are good examples of getting some things right, while still looking like a disaster. The girl on the far left obviously wanted to be comfortable while shopping. My problem with her outfit are her leggings. They don't really go with a skirt. Also, leave us not overlook the hoodie. Another bad choice, what with some stupid emblem on the back and on the sleve. The girl on the near left made the mistake of having a purse that is twice her size, not to mention the stupid design on the purse. Ignoring the purse, this girl seems to be doing all right until we get to her waist. From that point down she makes her mistakes: bad shorts, shoes that are too high, and that awful purse.

One trend that has gone completely out of control is the showing of one's midriff. The main problem is that many times it's unwarnted. Take for instance this girl. It's clear that she has a little overhang, shall we say, that makes her midriff exposing T-shirt a bit much. Her T-shirt looks like it's three sizes too small. An ill-fitting shirt does not look good under any circumstances. Following a trend when you have no good reason to is also not a good thing. This poor girl illustrates the simple notion, if it doesn't look good on you don't wear it. Course, nothing on this girl looks good on her, for the simple fact that it's a mess of wrinkles and mismatched styles.

My problems with this girl are too many to count. And, I'm feeling a little under the weather, so I'll just let you all decide what I might say about this one.
