Fashion Crimes of the Past

"Fashion Crimes of the Past.

If I wasn't cute as a button I might take more offense at this dress my mother made me wear for my third grade picture." (via)

Cute as a button, yes you are.

But this photo? It's bizarre.

Hearts and bowties, Fireworks?

I hope your parents weren't jerks.

Your look to me says 80s librarian,

or perhaps your parents were Bulgarian?

It's the background I find so mysterious

Did you choose it? Were you serious?

You and Mom, a clash of wills

You crave flash but Mom wants frills.

The end comes here in your school snapshot,

This round won by mom--Oh Rot!

Should she be mad at her Mama for this one?

"Let my clothes do the talking. I don't know whether I should be mad at my mom for this outfit." (via)

All signs point to yes.

Embroidery Affection

means Mom sucking up.

The Back Hallway-The Jon Benet Edition

"This is our back hallway, filled with our baby pictures. My parents dressed us in the most horrid outfits." (via)

Pageant Girls, the Hallway Edition.
Lace, Frills, Layer upon layer.
Jon Benet outfits without the make-up but with the curlers in the hair.
Childhood photos-year after Year--Sears, or JC Penney? Which photographer is more skilled?
Either way, what's not to love?

Technicolor Dream Outfits or "My mum rite took the piss"

I have been saving this for something special, and today felt right.
Just an ordinary Monday, about to be made extraordinary--and completely beyond my poetry skills. What follows is so amazing, it has completely taken away my funny.

"My mum rite took the piss when she dressed me when I was little" (via)

Okay, this outfit is admittedly awful, but just wait. It gets soooooo much better.



Is it a tunic? A dress with leggings? A stiff circus tent? Madison says "It looks like a clown threw up on that." Agreed, my friend.

With an outfit like this, you don't want to go subtle with the shoes either. (Mom's black flats with buckles are just so out of touch with the rest. So Marks & Spencer when compared with the fashionganza that is her top and pants.)Her youngin' has the right idea--Purple and Blue just set off the ROY G. BIV so nicely.

And today, we are not even talking about the hair. Enjoy your Monday.

Ronald McDonald Liked it!

Really, what better praise could there be for an outfit? Especially since Ronnie Mc D is such a fashion icon!

"I hated that dress, but my grandma bought it for me so mom made me wear it. Ronald McDonald liked it though. :)" (via)

I am disturbed by the strategically, and tragically, placed bow. Or, is it just that the dress is friggin' enormous on her?

Also, I always think pearls for a child's birthday party, don't you?
