Posts with tag ugly

Oh, Crocs. What is it? Did we bully you into submission? Can't you just slink quietly away into the Bush years?

Apparently not. YouByCrocs.com has arrived, and now, everything's a Croc. The front page of the site features boots, heels, and taglines like "Sexy Snowbunny" (referring to the poor, uninventive, weird-height-boot-wedge soles above) and "Twisted Tart." Twisted tart? Seriously? See below.

Britney Spears is on her way up the charts again and we're rooting for her to make this comeback a good one! She's obviously worked hard to get in shape because her body is looking amazing and plus, someone finally fixed those nasty extensions she had in for so long! We just have one little issues with her these days.

Fashion may have "gone ugly," according to the headlines over at Fashion Indie. But, we have to admit we kind of like it. Gone are the days when women dressed solely to impress men. We're now dressing to impress each other and man, that's a tough audience.

This week, let's take a moment to celebrate the delightfully heinous crimes against denim witnessed on eBay. We've already brought you:

Bad Jean Jacket #1
Bad Jean Jacket #2
& Bad Jean Jacket #3

Here are #4-8, starting with this one.

A patch on your jean jacket is sort of sweet, in an "I was once a girl/boy scout and I dig patches" kind of way. This many patches? Batdung crazy.

This jacket includes patches such as:

Madrid
American Indian guy
American Indian guy #2
Ladybug
Bear with hat on
Giraffe
Elephant
Rag doll
Rainbow
French weathervane
Skull

WTF? See the gallery for more eBay denim disasters.

So...um...apparently this is going on.

"Weird little cheap handbag" is the title of this eBay listing by Solsticedreamer.

We don't really know what to say here. It's sort of unremarkable, yes, but the title is so aggressively blase...it kind of cracks us up.

Here's what Solticedreamer has to say about the "weird little cheap handbag:"

"Looks hand made, maybe out of bubble gun wrapers? I mean it has a funny shiny look."

Really? We're gonna have to call a WTF all over this zippered vest.

First of all, seller Goodbuybarry has listed this item as "UNUSUAL METAL MASK! Black & Brown WOOL Vest SZ XL." Really? Is the metal mask what sets it apart? We think the most distinctive thing about this vest is that it looks exactly like a Star Trek uniform.

And the mask? Just makes it look more like a Star Trek uniform. Okay, not exactly-exactly. This will have to be deemed a uniform for someone from a planet we just made up called Zaag.

With cooler weather coming just around the corner, we've noticed that all of the conditions are right for a sweaterific fall and winter for men's fashion. Cardigans, turtlenecks, and yes, even the nerdiest of all -- sweater vests -- seem to be turning up in all sorts of fall collections. While the sweater vest is an easy way to add some colorful layers to your wardrobe, we kinda have to wonder if men are really going to embrace the sweater vest this season -- or if that's just wishful thinking.

From what we've gathered, this year's sweater vest look is all about the pattern -- and the nerdier the better. Forget solids or pinstripes, its all about checks, argyles, or a bold houndstooth. Basically, anything reminiscent of an ugly retro sweater that your parents dressed you in as a toddler. We like the depth that a SV can bring to an outfit, but we don't expect to see many on the street. What do you think? Is the sweater vest going to be a hot item this fall?

This is the jacket that haunts you in the middle of the night.

Boasting "black leather" and "detachable sleeves," this is the ghost of the black leather jacket you threw away. It is coming back to haunt you.

"I bought this jacket in the 80's for $250.00," boasts seller design1943.

While browsing Endless.com the other day--which, by the way, has an excellent clearance section right now--we came across this truly astonishing pair of platform heels. Pleaser, the company that manufactures them, specializes in shoes that only an on-duty stripper can get away with wearing. But this pair, dubbed "Adore," really goes above and beyond their typical offerings of thigh-high pleather boots and faux-maribou slides.

Not only does this pair feature clear heels (which, like clear bra straps, should generally be avoided), but inside the 2 1/2 inch platforms are tiny little roses. And they can be yours for just $32.97!

If you are yearning to stand seven inches taller without the assistance of stilts, these may be the shoes for you. If you are upset that you were born post-disco era and never had the chance to wear platforms boots with goldfish in them, these may be the shoes for you. If you spend a lot of time strolling Santa Monica Boulevard at two in the morning, these may be the shoes for you. And, if you are none of these things, we hope you were as amused as we were by the fact that this pair of shoes actually exists.

Behold the lame!

The accented 'e' is not on our keyboards...it's so wrong but so right.

The outrageous item above is for sale from Cozettescloset--now there's a production of Les Miserables we'd like to see!

Colleen123pitbulls has an unusual article of clothing here that can be yours for 99 cents! Catch: it's fugly.

There's something oddly Britney Spears about it, something about the flesh tone with spangles. Everyone remembers this hot mess of a moment at the VMAs, right? At least on Britney it didn't have the "unusual long frays" that look like Ace Bandages.

This is an odd pairing of belts. One says "I'm non-threatening and fun, even if perhaps behind the times" and the other says "I'm into random pieces of metal." Why Fairiesupthecreek is selling these together, we can't say. We can say we don't think you want either of them.

First of all, there's the issue of the picture: Belts hanging from a tree by a dirt road. What does that say about their wear and tear? May have been damaged by grazing deer? May have slight imperfections due to nearby frolf?

Here's what the listing says about the Blair Witch belt formation.

Someone put a face on a belt buckle again, which, as we have stated before is a terrible idea. This time, it's not just a half face. It's a whole face. And it's spooky.

This is a Lynne Dorsch piece. Lynne Dorsch has also brought us...yeah, nothing. Never heard of her. Yet there is her name, engraved in this creepy pewter buckle. Who could she be?
