Egregious garment of the week

Spotted dangling evilly from its hanger in H&M:


But I'm quite liking this stylish and tasteful bikini

I saw a top like that in TopShop. I was horrified. I remember when they were in last time around, and I never wanted to see that time again!

I know! Me too, it's just a world of no to those things.

I'm seriously disturbed by the existence of those bodysuits. Not to mention the jumpsuits I saw, also in H&M. D:

Ahhhh, jumpsuits! I saw those, there was a grey silky one that looked like it was designed by Satan's underlings. *shudders*

You mock, but a grown-up onesie saved my sanity once upon a time. Our now deceased and sadly missed Labrador had had surgery on her chest. If you've ever tried to keep a very active dog from removing bandages that are on her chest and licking her surgical wound, you will understand why I was DELIGHTED when I found a grown-up onesie. I cut a hole for her tail and cut the sleeves off, and suddenly she had a bodysuit to cover her stitches and bandages.

So I am thrilled for the dog owners of England. Now we just need the manufacturer to produce them with the tail hole already in.

...No, of course PEOPLE shouldn't wear them. They're for DOGS.

NOW I KNOW WHAT TO USE THEM FOR!!!1

Oh god no. Bodysuits are back? I used to own one, handed down from my MOTHER, which she wore back in the late EIGHTIES.

It wasn't cool then, either, but I didn't grow fashion sense until roughly 2004 so I didn't know. D:

*DIES LAUGHING*

I know, right?

[identity profile] lindentreeisle.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Gorgeous, lol.

I do love the tag though! It's one letter from being "Lycra: I has it" which is genius. Sadly, I don't think that was their intent.

[identity profile] lady-ganesh.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
I was thinking the same thing!

*stares at the first picture* I hope that things stretches a whole lot, because otherwise I am frightened of whoever has a torso short enough to fit into it!

[identity profile] flemmings.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 12:52 pm (UTC)(link)
That was exactly my thought. 'Would fit a two year old but I don't think it's meant to.'

[identity profile] louiselux.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's actually supposed to fit a grown woman! It's a UK size 8, but still.

[identity profile] louiselux.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it's meant to stretch, but yeah, it looks like it might get uncomfortable pretty fast. *winces*

[identity profile] somarem.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
ah the things people put themselves in :) Seeing the bikini making me long for summer... it's still bit cold here..

[identity profile] louiselux.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I tried to imagine wearing the pink body and just shuddered. Noooooo!

[identity profile] avierra.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Well... it's (the bodysuit) a pretty color?

[identity profile] louiselux.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
...Yes, that's all that can be said for it really.

[identity profile] morebliss.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Is it wrong that I immediately pictured Feli wearing both those?

[identity profile] louiselux.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Not wrong. Or if it is, it's the good sort of wrong.

[identity profile] i-am-zan.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
uhmmm hooookaaaaay!!! You know you could cut the bikini top in half and wear them as swimming caps! You know those frilly, flowery ones you see on old biddies at the swimming baths!

but that pink thing looks painful to wear...Ouch!

[identity profile] flemmings.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
swimming caps

My keyboard thanks you for the Pepsi shower.

All that bikini is missing is a fruit hat and a pair of Marachas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERYKzez97lA).

Oh my god, Carmen Miranda! How incredibly fabulous she is.

[identity profile] moshesque.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
I bought that bikini back in January (for belly dancing purposes)! :D It's very comfy, I must say. :)

[identity profile] louiselux.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Mwahaha! I'm sure you look fab in it. I seriously need one, for lounging around in the garden.

[identity profile] stalkerbunny.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
random delurk is random
Is that...new? I mean, one sees some odd things in second hand shops but...D:

In other words, I'm now wondering what it is that lycra, according to the tag, HAS, and whether I really want to know. =3=

[identity profile] louiselux.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, the Body is back. I remember those things the first time round and don't really want to be catapulted back to my early 1990s look.

[identity profile] stalkerbunny.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I was luckily about...four back then, so I just got to wear sweats with some quite awful colors. :9

Think I'll pass this time around as well. >_>
