We need to talk..

This is seriously getting out of hand now..

flow chart We need to talk..

I don’t understand what some people are thinking when they get dressed!

Ok, I am definitely not an active trendsetter and don’t wear the latest fashion (mostly happy in jeans and tank top).. but I do understand fashion and read all the mags about it, etc. So I am not completely clueless.. But over and above all that, there are some things that even a novice can point at and just laugh or snigger..

And then.. Aaaaaaargghh… there are some things you can never unsee..you know what I mean?

My mom always told me that if I had nothing nice to say I should just keep quiet.. Welllllll, she never said anything about being able to blog about it!! icon wink We need to talk..

So let me share with you about some of the scariness I have encountered in the world of …..

STRAPLESS TOPS !!!

Here are a few examples of atrocities against fashion and real retinal burners I have to face far to regular for my liking…

Example A:-

The UGLY “she looks pregnant” strapless top

ugly white top 196x300 We need to talk..

This is a classic example of the fashion designers poking fun with their followers… to see if anyone will actually buy crap…

Example B:-

The “POINTLESS EXERCISE” strapless top

straps galore 164x300 We need to talk..

In this example you can clearly see how even though she is wearing a strapless top she completely loses the plot by adding a couple extra ones of her own.. in various colours too..

Example C:-

The “CONFUSED” dont know which way to look strapless top

her boobs had their own idears 300x225 We need to talk..

As you can clearly see(stop staring) her boobs are not on talking terms and have decided to part ways. In cases like this you need a support structure to be put in place.. for instance a nice and tidy strapless bra..

Example D:-

The “SOMEONE LIED TO HER” strapless top

retinal burn 201x300 We need to talk..

I have no idea what to say about this.. but unfortunately the reality is that this happens.. often..It only takes one stupid idiot to lie to her mate about how she looks good and WHAMMO! she is wearing this dem outfit all over the bloody place..

Example E:-

The “LETS CUT OUR BOOBS IN HALF” strapless top

omgyouseewhatimean 158x300 We need to talk..

The top has been placed across her boobs cutting them in half .. This is common practice amongst those that feel 4 boobs are better than 2..

So there you have it.. Strapless tops may look like a good idea.. But is it really??

I think in order to pull it off you need to have a nice perky (symmetrical) pair of boobs and have sexy shoulders. Definitely not recommended for those that have “wings” or droopy boobs!

I hope I haven’t offended too many people with this post.. and if I have.. oops!

    B, talk about nipping it in the butt! How I just dont get it when people do the “Pointless Exercise!” as you so well put it! Aaargh! It drives me up the wall. Personally i dont do strapless coz I am a Double DD and its a mission to keep my babies up in a strapless bra! Its war I will never win!

    I am new to this blog – well I am a silent blogger but today I thought i should say something. Love, love, love your blog!

    very funny post b!!!
    i have never worn a strapless top! i may have worn spaghetti straps and a strapless bra back when i weighed 55kg- but my boobs have always been too big to go entirely strapless!

    So very true – strapless tops are so unflattering to most anyone who has boobs bigger than itchy bites. And those strapless bras slide slowly down to your waistline and it all ends badly!

    I guess I’m too old school. I can’t stand the bra straps showing. Back in the day, you would get laughed out of school if you wore a spaghetti strap top with bra straps showing.

    I don’t get it. As for strapless tops, PO_LEASE! ARGH..

    LOVE your blog.

    I agree, Sexy G has some nice gams!!

    I had 5 bridesmaids at my wedding, and they came from all corners of the country, so I bought reams of material, posted it to them and let them do their own thing, so long as they adhered to three rules: not too low-cut, not above the knee, and NO STRAPLESS! The worst thing is watching a bride or bridesmaid constantly hitching up her top as she walks down the aisle. Ruins the wedding video completely!

    Jewels – I suppose I fall under your category of showing my bra straps when I wear my tank tops.. but in my defense I take the time to colour code them and my bra’s are ALWAYS top notch! :-P
    Lol@Gams.. i will tell him you think so …lol

    Tamara – I have to agree with you on the constant tugging of tops.. I just want to duct tape it up for them when they tug at their tops every ten seconds!!
    So did your bridesmaids listen??

    Woops. hahaha
    I wear a bra with my tank tops and I guess I don’t wear the spaghetti strappy ones unless they have that built in bra! Kudos to you for matching and buying top notch.

    I have to start doing that (top notch). I don’t spend a lot on my bra’s and suffer for it. I want one of those high dollar ones Oprah talks about!! hehehe
