Apparently I wear too much pink and purple for a guy. :(
yay! Khazakstanis!
but i'm british so that was just a randm comment that popped out of my keyboard.
Borat, you never know, he could actually be in Uzbekhistan, the internet is World Wide, people from every single freaking country goes on it! Dutch, German, French, British (like me), Uzbekhistanis, Khazakstanis, pakistanis, the list goes on.
(notice the rhyming pattern after British)
Back in second through fifth grade, I used to wear sweatpants and sweatshirts. A lot. And I had glasses, a bowl cut, and a little extra weight. The overall effect was, while not hideous, pretty unpleasant (or so I'm told). Much like Mark, if I could go back in time, I would probably give myself a stiff pinch, then hand myself a pair of contacts and some carpenter jeans. And a gym membership. And another stiff pinch.
People say that fashion shouldn't matter, that people should be judged by their personality and character rather than by what they wear. And they're right. But the fact still remains that style and presentation is an essential element of success, and fashion is essentially pre-designed packaging and advertising for individuals. In the morning, after you dress but before you leave the house, take a look in the mirror and ask: What do your clothes say about yourself?
For all that DONE TO DEATH mocks the scene, I've always had an affinity for the goth subculture. However, I just don't do the whole dressing up to the nines thing.
Because the one time I actually did have what was then two-foot long hair teased into a Robert Smith-like headcloud and went to a local danceclub's goth night, I was mistaken for a girl.
A fat, ugly girl. With nice hair.
Never again.
I'm currently working on a pair of ridiculous-looking sideburns that I may try and turn into muttonchops. Being happily married to someone who's going to love you no matter how stupid you look really lends itself to personal style experimentation.

I used to wear a black BDU jacket every I went, from about age 15 up to 2 years ago. I used to do a lot of metalworking and it was handy as a covering for my clothes, but then I just continued to wear it, whether I'd be in shop or not. Year before last I just sort of lost track of it, I haven't been able to find it since. I don't give two good god-damns about fashion but I know that this item was bad because after so many years with all the abuse of the metal-shop it was faded and ripped all over, with one of the pockets completely shredded.

get your fash' on.Is it just me or does that sound like a euphemism for masturbation?
What an awesome topic :D
Hmm… I have a couple…
When I was in the first or second grade, my mom made me wear these over-all type pants, only they were black and cotton, and shaped like a watermelon seed. Everyone made fun of me. I was so sad!
In the 7th grade, for some reason, the teachers and principal wanted the students to dress up one day. I wore a green shiney dress with white stockings and black shoes. When I went to school, barely anyone was dressed up, and I noticed I over-did it… so I was made fun of the entire day :(
Hmm… Lesse…
I don't think I have anymore that I can remember… But since I'm only 15, I don't have that many.
I have a shirt which is a horrible shade of yellow and looks like it's supposed to be that colour, needless to say, i've never worn it before and i don't intend on wearing it since i have one black shirt (funerals), one blue shirt (special occasions, sometimes casual) and loads of white shirts (school and special occasions)

Well I got a pair of sunglasses with sideburns build-in, wore those and somone nearly mugged me. Yes, for the glasses.
I also wore a paperclip shirt, which got tangled into one huge mass of WTF and then I lost it, now I'm making another.
A duct tape hat (not just a normal one, this one was fucking huge.)
And one day I wore another hat under it, this was to piss off teachers, because they told me to take my hat off, and I had another one under it. I know it sounds retarded, but it was funny to me then.
Another time for a presentation, my teacher told me to dress formally, however I decided to take it further, and sought out a top-hat and a monocle. I did not find the monocle, but I managed to get my hands on a really snazzy suit jacket, and a hat from party pig. I got in trouble for that one.
I also gave up shaving for lent one year, and I was hoping I'd look cool by the end of it, instead it just grew out in patches and I finally got pressured into shaving.
Oh, my new problem: I constantly do not realize when to cut my hair so I wind up just getting a shaggy ball on my head, which then forms into what has been described to me as a "helmet"
Huh. And to think I thought you were a dude all this time.Duh! That's why they made fun of him!
You… aren't a dude, right?
When I was in second to about fourth grade during the winter I'd wear this bright purple snowsuit. Think snow-pants but for your entire body. With this I'd wear one of those knitt-hats with the crazy diagonal zig-zag designs on it and bobbles on the top. I thought it was the coolest thing in the entire world. But we'd have to take them off during school, and so I'd wear these big-honkin' boots during the day because I never remembered to bring in an extra pair of shoes. One day I even forgot to wear pants underneath of the snowsuit. That was… quite embarrassing.
I also used to wear these dark green wind-pants with a matching purple wind jacket.
…Not to mention during fourth grade I got braces, glasses, and wore my hair (which used to be so long I could sit on it) in a single braid every single day. And I was sort of chubby.
Thank goodness those years are over. I look relatively normal now. I got contacts (and a cuter pair of glasses), got rid of the braces, cut my hair and slimmed down a bit. I still don't really match some days, but the way I see it is that fashion isn't about what "looks good on you" or matching or anything like that: it's all about your confidence. Anyone can pull off anything if they are confident enough.
Er, I only have fashion mistakes, I never look cool.
Is probably because I hate jeans, so I always and up with a weird-looking type of pants. Also I don't give a damn about shoes, I just don't find them pretty. So no one ever likes my pants or my shoes. So that leaves me to my sweaters and shirts… Well, nothing looks good, so my shirts are always black and mostly with some sort of band/movie/cartoon print on it that I like. Well, people don't really take you serious when wearing a Batman shirt.
But people DO apprieciate it when you've got a music shirt, those are the only things that still give me a lil' respect ;)
And my hair has never looked this good. Not that it DOES, but at least it's way better than before. I had it painted red for a while, but I realised later on that it just wasn't cool. So now I'm just letting it grow and I'll see were it ends up.
Here's just a couple of my fashion faux-pas throughout the years
- Leggings with stirrup bottoms, paired with canvas sneakers
- Ponytails on the side of the head
- Mushroom cut
- Skorts
- Cuordoroy pants (Do those look good on anyone?)
- Shirts that were wayy too low cut for my age at the time (14… jailbait, anyone?)
I haven't been too bad as of late, unless you count my penchant for wearing the same black zipper hoodie over everything- it's too comfy not to wear.
