My favorite mantra when I see interesting ensembles is..." I would not wear THAT to the mailbox!".
Pet eyesores: Tight stretchy short shorts, tight tops with the rolls of flesh highlighted, etc. Pajama pants, low hanging jeans with the crotch at the knees....when will this trend go away?
One could dress comfy casual without going total slob. I dress up when I want to do some serious clothing shopping. I want the sales staff to wait on me...and they do! If I am more casually dressed, the staff greets me and then ignores me. So....first impressions matter. I dress according to my motive.
