O/t - Fashion Alert - Please Help

Hi everyone. I really need your help here. A certain regular of this board has been uncovered as committing a serious crime against fashion.

I need everyone to post and petition this person to please STOP this terrible behaviour.

It is wrong, it is a sin and a crime. And its un-Australian.

You know who you are!!!

PLEASE STOP WEARING YOUR UGG BOOTS OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOUSE.
OMG Idgie....you are sooo right! Who would do that? Those Ugg boots went out with the Crocks right? I have even seen people who wear the multi-colored ones. AS IF......??????!!!!! LOLOLOLLMAO

I will be the first to sign the petition. People can only wear multicolored Uggs when they actually visit Australia and walk through the streets and stop for HotSauce and Grits!!!!!

Vally
I heard a rumour this person wore ugg boots with mini skirts too - when she's not wearing her jeans tucked into them that is !!!!!!!

She must be a bogon.........quick get your pens out help her.

Maybe we should start a 12-step group for her problem as well. LOL
Hey Idg....I didn't hear about the skirt part. I did however hear about the Uggs being worn with shorts. Many people do that in Southern California!! I guess it is a Northern Hemisphere problem!

I also heard that this person said that we shouldn't take the criticism from someone who eats Vegemite! LOLOL What exactly is that stuff anyway? Isn't it like some sort of scum that is rendered down to a paste?

Idg you are killin' me! I love this thread. I hope the offender posts so we will know who it is! Curiosity has gotten the best of me!
Skirts, shorts its all the same - incredibly daggy and bogonish.

LMAO - yes that's right its the scum from brewing beer actually, they scoop it off the vats and boil it down

Heck does that mean as an alkie I can't eat vegemite anymore. You'd love it though pal.....I'll send you a jar kay?

Hey while we're on the topic of shoes, Vally I was thinking maybe its time for you to go through your wardrobe and donate some of your footwear to St Vinnie's....I could make a few suggestions if you like. LMAO.
OMG......You are soooo funny! I can't remember if I ever sent you a picture of me with my shoes showing. (**** I'm standing with me hips jetted out to the side and my palms facing up and my head tilted*****) Could you get the visual?? Imagine me wondering how you know of my shoe collection???

I do have some old 5 inch clear hooker heels that I wore for Halloween one year. You want me to pop those over your way???? HUMMMM????? LOLOLOL. It is spring over there now right? Then you could have something to wear with your short skirts since Uggs are a no go. How about Emus? Not the dunny Emus but the Emu boots that look like Uggs???? HUMMM?????

I kid with you I tell ya! ROTFLMAO

Idg you are absolutely killin' me today! Thanks for the laughs!
Hey whats wrong with Ugg boots I'm all for individual fashion so maybe we need a thread showing our greatest fashion moments and Val the hooker heels have me sold
I also see american customs are confiscating vegemite now at airports because it contains a banned substance and all the expat auzzie, kiwis are going crook about it

Hey I just ordered Ugg boots...have the slipper/shoes...so my question is can I wear them with jeans...I don't want to be a faux pas...LOL! Thanks Gina

Hi Idgie...just wanted to tell you so far no luck with a job...but I am hanging in there sending resumes, ect...Keeping faith...Thanks again for your help...it really was great!!!!!
Hey Gina
you can wear them with anything so long as you don't wear them outside the house - ie in public.

I wouldn't be caught dead wearing ugg boots in public. But that's an Australian thing!!

Keep plugging away Gina I know the perfect job is out there for you.
Zac
I didn't know that - what morons bureacrats are. What the hell banned substance is in vegemite?

honestly sometimes I think the terrorists have already won.
Idg.
You guys would die if you saw one of the pair of Ugg boots I have! Talk about a fashion faux-pau....I just got sober and so wanted the pink Ugg boots that were very popular back in '03 (at least I thought so) ~ so I went to Nordstroms and the only kind I could find in my size were ones with rhinestones around the top....I bought em! Now, I only wear them under sweats and jeans, and everyone around here in SoCal does wear them outside with shorts, skirts, whatever, I don't like it much! I have the Ugg slippers too, heck I wear those, my pajama bottoms and usually an old sweatshirt when I go to the market at night...hmmm, sight for sore eyes...so there you have it I am one big fashion alert! Is there hope for me, am I salvagable ~ LOL!
I am with you VW...My oldest daughter (girlie-girl, fashion expert) feels there is no hope for me...too casual, don't care...will go out in whatever is on or comfortable...
I always hear "Mom why are you wearing that?!"
Now she will wear Ugg boots with skirts though...soooo maybe she isn't as hip as I thought....LOL!
Thanks Idgie...for the support....it gets a little discouraging at times but I know God has a plan for me...Just have to keep having faith and taking the action necessary....
Love Gina
Hey guys - thanks for all the laughs about the Ugg boots.

Seriously though, I was such a "no-care" when I was in the midst of my drinking that I would go to the store or out wearing any old crap dirty, stained, torn, no make-up, hair not done, looking like s*it.

So I personally find it is an important part of my recovery to dress appropriately when I go out. Even if it is just to the store for milk, and not wear my bum around the house clothes. Even if its a dressier pair of sweats, or jeans and a clean t-shirt. For me its about the respect I show myself. Of course in summer its very casual - but for me a minimum of clean, tidy, ironed etc.

Also, if you ever read a book called "Almost French" its about an Australian woman who marries a frenchman and goes to live in Paris. And he always got upset about her wearing daggy sweats down the street to go shopping. She said "its only going out to get bread." his reply "but its not nice for the baker"

You know that really stuck in my mind. REspect for myself and for others.

No judgement on anyone else here - just what is important for me...
Love what you shared with us Idgie thanks for that, actually I take waaaaaaaaaaaay better care of myself now that I am sober...I sometimes am not even recognizable to those who knew me when I drinking. So, all kidding aside, I do try to make an effort and look presentable, but some days I do go w/o the makeup and wear sweats, but not like the gross stuff I use to masquerade around in. This was a fun thread!
Hey Idgie thanks for that and at least now im sober i have clothes on when i get home bloody grate feeling you know cause usually my clothes succomed to my bodily functions when i was on a binge, at least now i can freeball in my jeans and not worry about farting OMG whats typed stays typed LMAO and not my jeans LOL

Light and love Zac
Oh Zacary!!!!!! My, oh my, oh my, oh my Zacary! Commando huh? You are killin' me! Thanks for the laughs! Great to start the day with laughs!
