Enter To Win A Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Earpiece!

I was new to going to professional meetings. I was staying at a less expensive hotel and was at the pool because I had that afternoon off. I got a call from my boss saying he could not attend the meeting that afternoon and could I go and listen. He said this would be a quick in and out meeting and the dress was "casual." So I pulled on a pair of cutoff shorts and a tshirt over my swim suit and went to this meeting. First he told me an incorrect start time so when I walked in the door the meeting had already begun and there were about 400 people in the room wearing business office dress! I backed out of the room and listened to the meeting, that lasted almost 2.5 hours, through a door!

I went down to do a router install in rural Louisianna about 5 years ago, maybe the year before katrina. I was given a work order, told what I was doing, and it was going to get pretty dirty. I arrived at a sales meeting - with two suits, wearing old jeans, tennis shoes, a polo shirt with hole in one of the armpits (you couldn't see it unless i picked up my arm), and a ballcap. The two suits dropped their ties & took off the jackets, but I still severly out of place.

I had a really important job interview, so the morning of, I got my hair cut and styled (mistake #1). Went home and got dressed in my new skirt suit and pullover blouse. I asked my husband if I looked presentable (mistake #2). Of course, being male, he said that I looked great and off I went. The interview went very well, I thought, but upon returning home I notice two things: 1. Across my chest was sprinkled a smattering of tiny bits of cut hair, looking like they had sprouted there, and 2. My blouse was on inside out. I did not get the job. Thank you, hubby.

My worst fashion crime happened in the early 90's when my standard uniform was stonewashed jeans and jelly shoes. Bright purple jelly shoes. Gruesome, I know!

Gawd! I wore 7 scarves from different eras and pinned them together and was going to do a hi honey sexy scarf dance for his birthday and then I locked myself out of the house with no key. Neighbors and all to see...

My worst fashion crime ocurred when I had just graduated from college in the late seventies and went to work for IBM. At that time, IBM was the King of stuffy organizations - they even had training sessions on how to dress - "dress for success" - pin-stripe suits, white shirts, etc. When I went to my first training class, I made the mistake of packing all my business clothes in my checked-in bags. I wore a pair of white ratty painters pants on the plane, worn sneakers,& grubby orange sweatshirt. Well, guess whose luggage got lost? Needless to say, I had to wear that sorry outfit to class the next day! I was mortified! And I was only one of about 5 women in the sales class anyway, and to top it off, my last name was "Hott" back then, so the instructor thought it would be fun to have the person next to us introduce us. He stood up and said, "Everyone, I would like you to meet Liz Hott. The question is, is she?" I turned about 10 shades of orange to match my sweatshirt!!

Ugh. It was pretty much most of the second half of the 80s that my crime spree was committed. The worst would probably be the black & white ruffle/rara skirt worn with tan-orange tights because I thought my lily-white legs needed to look a bit tanned. But the tights were too big and they bagged around my ankles. It was noticed by one of the coolest girls at our school. So goddam awful I cringe about it to this day.

Last week! In Florida we rarely get genuinely cold weather - so my heavy coat is in storage. during a chilly day last week I put together quite the ensemble -- the worst part is, i wore it for more than one day. Jacket: Oversized black and off white houndstooth print jacket -- the black and white marks were larger than a thumbprint. Scarf: Green, blue, white, black, brown striped scarf Hat: Purple. With a giant pink and white flower on it. Needless to say, I was a disaster. but I was warm. One of my girlfriends loaned me a red scarf later in the week, so i wasn't QUITE to scary.

My fashion crime was trying to wear a knockout pair of uggs with my pants tucked into them. They were really just cheap pink slippers but at the time I thought I looked fashionable when really it looked like I had just gotten out of bed to make breakfast!

My worst fashion crime was in middle school when I had permed hair in a pony tail with a scrunchie, I had homemade sweatshirts with ribbonson the front in a diagonal pattern and tied in knots and best of all a sweatshirt with shoulder pads! I also would wear those lovely sweatshirts with leggens that had the stirrups that would go under your foot. I would wear those pants with white keds with no shoe strings but the stretchy coils in neon colors! Did I mention the dorky bright gold and very round glasses? I thought I was sweet! If I only knew.... =)

My worst fashion moment that makes me absolutely squirm is when I had short red hair, Molly Ringwald style (I even teased it out!), tons of freckles, braces, the brightest of bright eye shadow and blue mascara, frosted lipstick. And I wore this long knit dress that looked more like a tube sock that was white with horid black and red designs. To top it all off, I wore stirrup black leggings under it with black jelly shoes. Oh-and don't forget the huge bangle bracelets, long necklace, and of course, big hoop earrings. Nightmare!

In middle school, in the 90's thin fabric vests were in I had a horrid christmas one decorated with ornaments, and I paired that with the latest fad which was slap bracelets and wore that with knee high socks and aerobic high tops!

It has to be in the 80's! I was in a band and could get away with a bit more then others but THIS topped my fashion fu-fu-fugly list. You know the stonewashed jeans? Um, yeah, well I had to go further and got some black jeans that had a bright orange stone wash to them. They were the kind of jeans that had to be painted on with the zippers at each ankle and I swear you could still smell the caustic scent of whatever they used to "stonewash" them. Then a must have of the day a skin tight lace up the back spandex shirt with fingerless ORANGE lace gloves. And the shoes? Oh my the shoes... Stilettos from Wild Pair in white with a silver metal heel and metal pointy toe cover that some big brut ended up stepping on sending the point directly into my toe... twas a lovely evening!
