Most horrifying thing you've ever worn?
Edited on Sun Aug-27-06 10:47 PM by Skip Intro
I once owned a pair of (men's) platform shoes.

I'll say no more...

2. A smock-like vest
A woman at work asked me when I was due (and I wasn't pregnant). I gave it to charity immediately, and never wore a vest again!

By the way, as Bill Cosby says: Never, ever, ask a woman if she is pregnant-- unless you see the baby coming out!

that scares me to see 80 fashion making a comeback, for me it has to be the worst decade of fashion No No(s)

5. When I was fourteen or so
I had a pair of brown plaid elephant bell pants. Looked like I cannibalized someone's sofa upholstery.

And, yes, they were worn with a pair of four-inch platforms. Good thing, as I was about 5'4" at the time.

10. they were.
I thought.

A high school classmate recognized me from elementary school once by saying "yeah, I remember you, back then when your mother used to dress you in all those ugly clothes."

I had ALOT of bellbottom pants with all kinds of patterns and patches and stuff on them. I loved them all. If I remember right, I also had strawberry shortcake.

17. A pair of pants that were a cross between...
parachute pants and balloon baggies.

For the shirt I had one those ones where it looks like an upside down triangle with buttons down both sides...triangle was red...while the rest of the shirt was black.

To top it all off, I had a pair of gloves.....with the fingertips cut off....and they had they word "breakin'" in latex on the back.




With a pair of Chuck Taylors....ain't it amazing that the shoes are still cool?
