Clothes Pet Peeves

I have an issue with clothes.  Don't worry, I'm not a nudist.  There are just lots of things that bother me about clothes.

I sleep a lot during the day.  Clothes that normal people wear when they leave the house just aren't great for sleeping in.  Changing in and out of clothes for naps is just too much work.  I think I should get a free pass to wear oversize sweat pants and pajama bottoms out of the house without anyone looking at me weird.  It should also be okay to wear that outfit with sports socks and sandals because they are easiest to put on.  Not that I would do that or anything (shhh neighbors!).

There are other things that bug me about clothes.  I hate clothing terminology - blouse, slacks, panties, trousers - those words make me cringe.  Yuck.

Don't get me started on the seam on the front of dress pants.  What gives?  That's just looks weird.

Then there's the dress shoes that don't go up far enough on the foot and give toe cleavage.

I also don't like dress pants with high heels or even those boring flat shoes.  Now, there are lots of people that look great in them if you have the right shoes.  Those 1990 style plain Jane dress shoes are not it.

Though I loved the show "What Not To Wear" (RIP), I hate when they would put two different patterns together or shoes that don't remotely match an outfit.

On the other hand, I love lots of stuff that others surely don't.  I love patterned shoes and socks.  I love bright and cheery colors.  Birkenstock makes some really fun patterns and I have a couple.  I also have some plaid Converse All Stars.

I'm not a fashion plate and probably the last person that should be giving out any fashion advice so step away from the suggestion box.  I won't be trying to dress people any time soon unless they are in my family and try to wear navy with black, ugh.
