Tales from my workplace, the fashion snark edition

[cupcake_goth]

Dear female co-worker I just saw in the cafeteria:

If you are going for the "naturally sun-kissed" look, remember to blend your bronzing powder past your jawline. Especially if you are wearing a shirt that is not a flattering color for your natural skin tone. The faintly greenish tone of your neck and jaw clashes with the aggressively peach bronzer. Also, teeny mincing steps somewhat ruins the effect of you wearing 4" stiletto-heeled boots and jeans with giant Bedazzled ... things on the rear pockets.

With kind intentions,

Cupcake Goth

It was 16 degrees here today. I saw a lot of cleavage, high heels with no stockings (paired with very tight jeans), shorts, flip flops and other atrocities. And this was walking around campus... outside.

I was wearing a wool cloche, a vintage 20's coat, super long muffler and flat button boots... and I got stared at all day.

There is no accounting for either taste or sense these days.
