Tales from my workplace, the fashion snark edition

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

Thankfully the relative conservative nature of dress here at the University saves me from most Fashion don'ts.

The students however... Not ours, mostly if I venture up campus toward the liberal arts end.

Except I do NOT get the 4th year female students who wear the improbably high heeled, flimsy "Manolo" knock-offs on clinic days. That cannot be comfortable for standing and bending over patients all day.

Ecch. When I was at Evergreen (a.k.a. that hippie college in Olympia), if it snowed there would STILL be people out and about in flipflops. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, people.
