worst of the worst

Hello Sweetie! (Doctor Who reference... don't ask)
Remember that post about fabulous homecoming dresses? Well here are the worst ones I found, and yes, there are plenty.
And no, I'm not telling you where I found them, because I'm saving you from buying them.


I wonder which short, infamously-orange, Jersey resident she is trying to look like. Hmmmm....


Skirt = gold spray-painted trash bag 


This is one of the cheapest looking dresses I've ever seen. It looks like it's made of colored plastic wrap over blue tissue paper. 

Turquoise One Shoulder Dresses

This must be related to the one above. They're the cheap ugly blue fabric, one-shoulder mini-dress twins.


I love her creepy facial expression. The sleeve looks like it's lined with duck tape. 

Celeste-Black/Fuchsia Homecoming Dress

What is this monstrosity.


This isn't how you design a choker neckline dress. It's not actually supposed to choke someone. 


Oh dear gawd..

Black Strapless Cocktail Dresses

It's amazing how unflattering this dress is. Puckering cheap fabric along the middle of one's body is the worst way to show it off. 

Luminous Tie-Shoulder Dress

Tight, one-shoulder bib dress-- For more modest individuals


Super hyper colorful twins. They seem very happy. 


Super extreme shoulder pad = not always flattering with a super tight mini-dress


Wow that's bad. I'm still in shock someone would let their daughter/relative/friend/facebook friend/acquaintance wear this horrific-ness.

I hope you enjoyed that ugliness. See you next time sweetie! :)

best of the best

Homecoming that is.
So I decided I'm going to try and attend every single dance at my school this year. We'll see how that goes, but I'm sure I'll have fun at every single one.
So I started looking up dresses for homecoming (I think I may already have a dress that works, but I was bored and started looking up dresses).
Here are the best:

I seriously could not find the designer of this dress, which makes me so so sad. Not only is this frock adorable, it also works for all body types. Price Range: 120-130$

Fire Hardware Detailed Strapless Dress (Juniors)

Design by Fire Hardware
Do you love that tribal trend? If so, This dress will most likely appeal to you. Simple and subdued, yet sweet and casual! Price: 46$

Designer: Topshop
From the thin gold belt to the slight colourblocking, this garment screams subtle luxury (or Gucci Spring RTW 2011, whichever works.) Price: 55 euros (76$)

Sophisticated, fun, and cute. Reminds me a lot of Audrey Hepburn and Zooey Deschanel. Price Range: 75-100$

Gorgeous-ness. Seriously divine fabric. If you love 50s/60s style, you probably can't stop staring at this dress like I am right now. Works for every body type. Price: 70$

Really really... "designer-y." Simple, but looks somewhat expensive. Interesting asymmetrical hemline. Note: Probably won't work with all body types. Price: 48$

Perfect for Boho Babes. Has that perfect "beachy" feeling to it, and is also super elegant. Price: 85$

I seriously could go on and on and on but I have to go eat something. Bye :)
Oh and don't worry, the worst are yet to come.

oh your sweater is so delightful

The holidays are here (finally) so I suppose I should talk about holiday stuff.
And boy there are a lot of things to talk about.
First of all, DOCTOR WHO CHRISTMAS EPISODE!!!
This has like NEVER happened before. By the time the Christmas episode comes to America, it usually airs around March and that's not nearly as fun as watching it on Christmas Day. I am soooooo excited.
   
In other TV news, Christmas Specials are airing on pretty much every channel known to mankind. Just last week The Office seasonal episode entertained audiences through Dwight and Jim's snowball "battle" and Michael's ongoing heartbreak with Holly. On Community, viewers got to see into Abed's complex mind through clay animation.

Ok that's enough of tele talk. Onto clothing.
Oh 'tis the season for awkward Christmas cards with awkward families posing awkwardly with awkward ugly Christmas sweaters. You know exactly what I'm talking about. In fact, you might even have one coming to you in the mail, or you have been a part of one.
Every family has an awkward family photo, and perhaps even a Christmas one. A necessary component of these conversation starters is the all-important ugly Christmas sweater. These extremely artistic pieces reflect the awkwardness a family. They've gained so much popularity, people are even having ugly christmas sweater parties.
I think it's so awesome that people are embracing the "ugly Christmas sweater" phenomenon. It is so nerdy couture. Happy Holidays, from Mika Elan. ;)
