My Biggest Fashion regret was undoubtedly made in the 80′s with an outfit fashioned around Olivia Newton-johns let’s get physical outfit.
I had to wear crocs for a work christmas party on a boat – most embarrassing thing ever!
photographic evidence of my BIGGEST fashion regret still sits on my mums mantly piece in the family loungeroom and was from only 7 years ago when i was 16 and thought light blue supre jeans with splits the whole way down each side and leather cross over tie-ups was the height of fashion…
A (semi permanent) perm. At age 16. In 1999.
It was mufti day in high school and I decided to wear denim overalls, and I decided last minute that I should be barefoot to suit the farm girl look however I taped the soles of my feet to protect them but that decision turned around to bite me because it turned out to be the coldest day ever in October and walked around all day with tattered taped feet oh what was I thinking?!
A matching shirt and shorts set (circa 1992) that I loved until someone at school told me they looked like pajamas. I never wore them again.
An Irish dancing dress(green), black doc martin boots, yellow tights and a black puffy biker jacket … rebelling against my mum and dad as I didn’t want to enter the Irish dancing competition at age 12…and said “if I’m doing it, this is what I am wearing!”
The 80′s!!!!!! not just one occasion…..the whole damn decade!!!Hair, clothes, makeup, the whole kit and kaboodle.
Sheer blue leopard print tights, black shorts, a long (fake) pearl necklace winding around my body and pinned together with a novelty pilots pin from air NZ; clubbing, age 19. seriously.
fashion regret…red denim overalls, wit ha floral rose top underneath worn by me. My cousin wearing her black denim overalls we went through a stage where we would dress the same and hit the town…i bow my head low in shame on this one!!
I was an extra on The Bikie Wars. To add insult to double denim injury they gave me massive thick brown eyebrows & hot pink blush.
Not taking full advantage of the parachute pants trend the first time around. Now I’m left hoping that the spacious, silky slacks stage a comeback!
My worst is yellow parachute pants… and my partner – phat pants so phat he tended to fall down stairs. Enough said.
Rainbow coloured snakeprint halter top teamed with silver pleather bootcut pants. Enough said.
Snipple slippage in a gorgeous dress.. No-one told me for hours. Just kept getting smiles off everyone!
Pale denim paperbag waist jeans, black T, bandanna wrapped around upper arm….channelling BROS. Needless to say it was the late 80s!
Year6, day one, new school. Mum’s fault i wore a flouro green, navy polka dot pinafore dress matching laceup navy ankle boots. Social suicide, Extreme dag factor and personal humiliation.
There are so many from my childhood it’s hard to name just one (I blame my mother!) but it’s hard to go past the light blue denim skirt with the awkward singlet top covered by a distressed denim jacket. I thought I was so cool…but the photos make me cringe now!
Biggest fashion regret – crimped hair at my school formal in 1999 … I can’t even use the “it was the 1980s” excuse!
Pink and black crimped hair in a side pony with a pink and black tartan skirt suit with boots – to a school social at 8… all a bit too 80′s and matching!
I still remember to this day the laughing stock I was when I forgot to take my broad-brim ‘sun-safe’ hat to school in Grade 2. ‘No hat, no play’ was the rule, and I really wanted to play, so I opted for the class spare legionnaires hat with the flap protecting the neck. Probably had lice too.
Too many to count! Ironic thing is that when you’re actually wearing something dreadful it doens’t seem that way at the time. So I will probably look back at my today’s outfit few years later and go “what was I thinking?!”
Last week: neon orange jeans to a chocolate-making class… inadvertently sat in choc… Result: “diarrhea look” all the way down my pants. Not good…
Skidding around in high heeled open pink sandals to a new years eve party in a barn in a blizzard in Europe.
Not much to say here except three words: Purple metallic pants. (Circa 1999). Oh my.
Hands down has got to be the silk vest I wore in a family photo – what can I say it was the 80′s
My biggest fashion regret is not having the budget to indulge myself in ALL the multitude of styles that suit my ever changing mood.
My biggest fashion regret was purchasing what I thought was a real designer Louis Vuitton bag only to be told years later that I had been duped.
my first, only and last male G-String … worst idea ever
Sad to admit this – keppers, mustard boots & an oversized tee.. Cry worthy
Faded jeans, a dirty t-shirt and a fedora on a first date – in 2010. Luckily we’re still together although now she’s my fashion director!
My favourite outfit for about a year was a blue,red and white flanelete shirt, baggy, faded blue pyjama pant (yes the kind you got in the twin set from KMart) black sneakers and purple hair. How on earth did I ever think I looked cool and attractive to leave the house like that?
A revolting brown velvet pantsuit! I really can’t believe I looked in the mirror and thought it was a good idea to leave the house!
I’m a a walking fashion disaster, so this is a daily occurence for me.
fashion disaster – not wearing enough makeup when skinny-dipping – as the spray tan quickly disappeared -
The danceparty outfit made of fake pine tree branches, so scratchy!!! Ouch
You have all had me in stitches with your hilarious and tragic fashion disasters. I’d love to make everyone a winner but the two entries that were under the word limit and made me laugh the most were:
