As you all know by now, I love fashion and design.  Sometimes I see people taking it way too seriously and I have to chuckle when they sacrifice all personal style for the “it” of the moment  – whether it be the “it bag” or the “it shoe”, etc. On the other extreme we have the people who appear to not own a mirror or have any sense of personal pride in their appearance at all. It is in their honor that I have decided to introduce a new feature on the blog, called Crimes of Fashion!
We all know my issue with grown ups wearing their pj’s out in public…well I have another fashion crime to report. For the past several weeks, I have been noticing grown women (yes, grown, not high schoolers)  in boots that look like the abominable snowman from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer or Chewbacca from Star Wars. What is happening?!?!?  I literally have gasped out loud a the sight of them. An especially gasp worthy moment occurred when I was running errands this past weekend. I was minding my own business at the grocery store, and BAM…offended in the eyes. Also this weekend, my friend Amber texted me from the grocery store herself; and the unfortunate sight she photographed can’t be forgotten. Mind you it wasn’t even snowing outside and there was not a ski lodge in sight. How the heck can these people even walk with what appears to be 100 pounds of fur on each foot, forget run around and do errands?  Is there a way to stop this madness before we get into winter?  If you have any suggestions, please let me know!

       
And p.s. if you own a pair of these offenders, I still like you, I just don’t understand your choices! 🙂
