The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns10 Worst Styles For Back To School
With school fast approaching, I thought I'd share a list of clothing styles that you might not want your kids to be wearing this year - unless, that is, you want them to get beaten up in class.
1. Wife-beater shirt (you know, the white tank tops) and jeans with the devine mullet hairdo accessory.
2. Hilly billy checker shirts and torn up blue jeans with elastic waistband. Add some s**t kickers and you got yourself one heck of a combo.
3. Jogging suit; there never really is a good time for these, is there?
4. Bell bottoms with wide open shirts and gigantic collars - not to mention those platform shoes and beehive hairdon'ts.
5. "Coveralls that don't quite cover all" [butt sticks out the butt-flap on those ones] (I thank The Simpsons for that one).
6. Sister to brother hand-me-downs: "No, mom, Joey doesn't look good in that pink mini-skirt."
7. Showing your dirty skivvies while your pants dangle below the waist.
8. Multi-layered fluorescent socks with converse high-top sneakers, lycra, spandex bike shorts, with a fluffy, lacey mini-skirt overtop, and a Lacoste polo shirt. And, heck, why not add a fluorescent winter jacket to go with it.
9. The Miami Vice look, need I say more.
10. The drab and often smelly treehuggin' hippy look.

That is too funny, you are 100% on all of those!
I can't stand guys in wife beaters, that's enough to send me running to the hills.. And being the old crone I am, I remember when bell bottoms first came along. I hated them then and I still hate them..
You have excellent taste in what not to wear!

Great list!
I'm wearing number 8 right now. Neon pink with green lace. It looks good. Really. My daughter wanted to borrow it, but I told her I didn't want anyone to get the wrong impression.

1, 2 and 7 are the biggest crimes. All should be wiped from the human mindthough.
"wifebeaters" is that the politically correct term for them now? I remember them as the "G-Tee". Those who know, know what the "G" stood for. It has to do with guys who wear too much hair spray and drove IROC Camaros.

That doesn't leave a lot of room now does it? By your list, I'm going back to school in a towel and combat boots... except number 2 nixes the boots.

Oh ya, forgot the bonus, thanks for reminding me Bradley, the army fatigue look, including combat boots and all around green camouflage, lol. So, I guess it's just a towel for you, eh, sorry 'bout that one, but hey, you'll get noticed.

Funny stuff... I'm blogrolling you immediately.

In the UK we have school uniforms, it is amazing how kids manage to make them look like a variant of at least on of these. The facourite amongst girls is the wear your skirt so short that all the bots can have a bet on the colour of your underwear, and make sure that you have a very bright coloured bra under your white shirt so that all the boys know that you need one.

Don't worry, when I was young I wore jogging pants or such to school just because I wanted to be comfortable.
I was right to do so.
Nowadays I wear jeans only because I need pockets.
