Not cool. Not okay. This looks like a desperate attempt at comfort and cool. There is no such thing as cool in a fleece onesie. There is no such thing as cool in sweatpants. There is no such thing as cool in a down vest over a fleece onesie. This looks as though you were trying to pull...

Recently, N and I went to Europe on our honeymoon. We gallivanted about Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic, proving everyone who was dubious about those locations for a honeymoon wrong as we took a succession of increasingly gorgeous photos of the Alps in the autumn. Being fans of...
God Save My Eyes
posted by Jack Harding
Oh. My. God. God save the Queen? Well, the Queen sure would NOT want to save this. This was the perfect combination of scarring and horrifying. Your body is saying turn away, but your eyes go “OH GOD I CANT LOOK AWAY” This is never an okay look. First of all,...
French Maid meets Ch...

Darling. Halloween is in October, and National Goth Day was yesterday. What are you thinking? This is just a train wreck. It looks like a mix between french maid and gothic chola. This is not something you leave the house in. It is not acceptable on a train, it is not acceptable on a...
Monogrammed Disaster
posted by Jack Harding
When it comes to things that are Conspicuously Nice, it is very easy to think it’s somehow better because it says BRAND on it. Hence the inexplicable appeal of some of the uglier COACH bags, Dooney and Burke purses, and of course, anything by Louis Vuitton. That interlocked LV really is...
SWAGGG

Swagger Swagger Watch Me Dagger. Actually, that is probably something I could go a lifetime without seeing. Especially considering if you daggered me I would probably be numb from the hips down: For the rest of my days. Now, I was at the station when I saw this and may I just say, this...
Inuit meets Guidette
posted by Jack Harding
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Birds are chirping, animals are frolicking, AND APPARENTLY JWOW FUCKED AN INUIT AND STOLE HIS SHOES. Poor guy, honestly, talk about getting cold feet. This is the sort of thing that drives me absolutely insane. It was 25C...

It is a truth universally acknowledged that everyone gets sick of their hair color at least once. I’ve been there. Despite the fact that I am a curling iron away from having Kate Middleton’s perfect hair, I’ve dyed it before. I went slightly lighter brown once while delusional,...
Crocs: The Eighth Le...
posted by Jack Harding
There is a special place in hell for crocs. It’s just under UGGs and just above monogrammed Michael Kors purses. If you look closely, this is a foray into some new type of Croc shoe/slipper/WHY WOULD YOU BUY THESE?? Crocs can’t be worn on escalators because of “Safety...
This Aint No Barbie
posted by Jack Harding
Barbie wore pink. Barbie was stylish. You wore pink. They were sweatpants. You were holding a bag of McDonalds. You looked at me with contempt after I kissed my boyfriend goodnight. You were using a payphone. Oh wait, YOU WERE WEARING PINK SWEATPANTS. Now, I don’t know what...
Tragic Bubble Skirts

I am very excited to welcome contributions from Leah Coffman who writes and runs BadFadsblog It’s an honor to have her, and it’s even more of an honor to get to post articles written by her especially for OhWowYouWoreThat! I’m very conflicted on bubble and balloon hems. On...
Pink Stinks
posted by Jack Harding
Let me just start off by saying: If these were snow pants, or you were using these on the snowboard hill, or if these were even being used for some sort of recreational activity, I would probably not even bat an eye. I would just assume “Oh okay, these go over a real pair of...
Denim Disaster

NOW BEFORE ANY OF YOU TELL ME I AM TERRIBLE FOR TAKING A PICTURE OF A HOMELESS MAN, PLEASE READ ON. So, I was walking along King when I saw this. Is it just me, or are you intrigued by what is in his bag? He pulls up in a nice car, an Acura. It didn’t look to me like he was...
