Your 10 must haves and can't stand

Okay, we all have our own list of must haves and can't stands when it comes to fashion. Why not share them with the Fashion Police tribe. Okay, okay, since you asked, I'll start.

My 10 must haves

1. Two really good, well fitted bras
2. Pretty flip flops
3. Jeans that make my butt look good (no easy trick since it is flat as a pancake)
4. Cool, fashion forward sunglasses that are cheap
5. Interesting, large dangly earrings
6. Ankle boots for the winter
7. Color and more color in my wardrobe
8. My classic burgandy/brown leather trench that hits my knees
9. Good looking and comfy heels
10. The two decorative rings I wear constantly and refuse to take off

My 10 can't stands

1. Women that don't wear the right size bra or are too big to go without a bra, but do it anyway. I don't want to see 4 tits or uni-boob, nor do I need to see the twins down to your kneecaps.

2. The track pant, legging, jean with one pantleg pushed up to the knee and one worn normal. WTF?? It looked stupid in the 80's and it looks stupid now.

3. Young women that wear knee high socks with short skirts or shorts. Honey, if you ain't playing soccor, or over the age of 10, you need to be slapped for wearing that in public.

4. Big girls that wear low, low, low rise jeans with thongs and mid-riff shirts. I'm a big girl and I don't like butt crack no matter who it is that is giving it to me. Mid-riffs are bad enough, mid-riffs with a belly is just scary.

5. Pregnant tummies on display. Ex. Women that wear tiny tops and share the bliss of their 3rd trimester with the rest of the world. I know Madonna did it and I thought it was gross, now Brit.'s doing it too.

I saw a woman walking around the lake with a micro jogging bra on and a pair of track pants. We live in a place that has perfect weather 95% of the time. If it was 100 degrees out with 100% humidity I could try to understand.

6. Men that wear tight shirts and have man-boobs. Again does the whole world have to see this?

7. Tucking in your t-shirt with your jeans and topping it off with a belt. Yikes.

8. Shorts that ride the inside of one's thighs. Right up there with ill fitting bras.

9. Hippie/Bo-ho chic on a man or a woman

10. Stringy long haired perms with too much product on women

    Well.. I guess I'll have to make a list of must haves that I want, cause I seriously don't think there are ten things in my wardrobe now that I like. I gained a lot of weight fairly recently, and I still don't know how to dress it. I'm having a hard time finding clothes that look good, fit good, and are age appropriate at this size. Bueno.. here goes.. for the smaller me..

    1. Med wash gap bootcut jeans
    2. low rise (not obnoxiously so) khakis
    3. My tennis shoes without the backs (the new kind)
    4. V neck "perfect" t's from gap (I like gap)
    5. a 3/4 sleeve button down top in a bright color
    6. A super cute toe ring that doesn't catch on everything my foot touches
    7. French tip nails
    8. a bra that fits well (which isn't always so easy to find at my size)
    9. A black tank that is NOT cotton JIC
    10. my thin leather jacket that is mid thigh length and cinched at the waist.

    Hmm.. Can't stands.

    1. People who are able to buy bras off the rack (okay that's just jealousy..)
    2. sweats in public.. any kind
    3. sorels
    4. long, unkept, stragly hair
    5. SUPER bright eye shadow
    6. socks that go halfway up a dudes legs and they're wearing shorts
    7. golf shorts
    8. UNWAXED EYEBROWS!
    9. Foundation that doesn't match skin tone
    10. people wearing clothes that are too small, cause they think it means they're smaller.. IT MAKES THEM LOOK WAY BIGGER!! Duh..

      Yeah, I have to add on to your #10 can't stand this one, Women that are WAAY too old to be shopping in the juniors department.

      I saw a bunch of 40-50 somethings shopping for themselves in the juniors section in Nordstroms during the half off sale last month. I wanted to whip out the handcuffs and cart them away ASAP.

      Don't they know they look like scary suburban women who think that if they dress in their kids/grand kids clothes, they'll look younger? Skankola wear on any bod is gross and just plain sad for those that haven't accepted the fact that they are never going to be 21 again in this lifetime.

    Must Haves:

    1. Knee-length pencil skirts.
    2. Just below knee-length a-line skirts/dresses.
    3. Tank tops of every color, with thick enough straps to cover a bra.
    4. My cheap-ass, but wonderfully fitting, wal-mart bras that never roll, fall off my shoulder, or slide up. (10 bucks!!!)
    5. Low rise, boot cut jeans, that are tight enough to make my ass look good, but loose enough in the waist that they don't cut in. (Old Navy makes the best ones.)
    6. A cute hair accessory. Currently(and for the past couple years) I've been using a ridiculously large flower attached to a rubber band to tie in with a bun. I always get compliments on it, and it is my quickest hairstyle!
    7. My really basic jean jacket: no frills, but keeps me from freezing.
    8. Thongs. I just don't do panty-lines.
    9. A boatneck white shirt with 3/4th length sleeves. Super comfy, can be worn with skirts or jeans, and is perfect to complete any teacher wardrobe.
    10. My cherry earrings. Worn with just about every outfit, I have a few different styles.

    *11. Denim mini skirt. Awesome with everything!

    Can't Stands:

    1. Tapered leg knit pants. I STILL haven't weaned my mother off of them.
    2. Pleated pants. *ewwww*
    3. Turtlenecks.
    4. Mullets. I don't care if it's hipster, it's still fugly!
    5. Coral pink lipstick. Not flattering. To anybody.
    6. Sweats in public.
    7. Big baggy clothes at the gym. Just because you're covering up with a tent, doesnt make it any more attractive.
    8. Holiday sweaters. And I'm a teacher, I've been given my fair share, and I struggled to keep a straight face the entire time.
    9. White tennis shoes.
    10. Round toe shoes. Generally cute styling, but kill my toes, and make my feet looks wider than they already are!!!
