July 4th Formal Attire?
While walking home after dinner the other night, The Husband and I caught site of something really horrible.
It was July the 4th... About 8:30pm. We were walking back from Kenmore Square. We were at the intersection of Mass Ave. and Comm Ave. We saw a gaggle of girls walking towards the Esplanade... Like many at that time of evening.
This gaggle of girls seem to be in jolly spirits. And most of them were dressed in appropriate July 4th attire... Shorts and tanks tops with sneakers or sandals. This is the type of outfit that would be truly comfortable while sitting outside on the grass, in the July weather. However, there was one girl in the gaggle that was completely off...
She was wearing five inch stiletto pumps in bright electric blue and a very, very mini-mini dress. To ass to the site, she was carrying a case of Budlight bottles. My husband and I stared at her...
"What is she thinking?" I said to him. "How can she possibly be comfortable?"
"She's probably just trying to have a good time," said The Husband. (Honestly though, he knows nothing about fashion.) "She probably wants to me some guys."
"No, no, no, " I said to him. I went on to explain, "This is not what one wears to a casual July 4th outing on the Esplanade. One dresses for comfort first, and tries to incorporate in their own style."
I went on to add, "Also... Any girl who dresses up like that damn well better have the sense to find a guy to carry that Budlight for her. I mean, you get all dressed up, and you have to carry it yourself? No. No. No. You find someone to carry it for you. Otherwise, what's the point of dressing up like that?"
Really.. Did this girl have no self-respect?
Harsh as that may be... I just didn't think it was a good look on the girl. I mean... It's a look Gwyneth Paltrow can pull off in a magazine or at an event...
But on a casual celebration day like July the 4th... One goes casual. Unless one is invited to a very fancy party. And then, Budlight is usually not served. The beer is usually upgraded to an import.

Pathetic. Are you some style expert? Clearly not, from the choices you've displayed on your blog.
I don't think I'm the one lacking style...
Perhaps you should take a look in the mirror, and stop hating your self so much that you have to troll the blog world leaving "Anonymous" nasty comments.
You know more about fashion than most. And you aren't tacky about it.
I'm a SAHM mostly and roll around with a 4 year old. I enjoy reading your posts because it reminds me of my former "me"!
Keep up the good works!
But I was probably just jealous...
That is the meanest bride ever. OMG!
You know, I didn't even get to her hair... I was too shocked by the highest of heels and the shortest of dresses. The thing barely covered her ass. And she was clopping her feet in the heels while carrying the beer case.
I'm such a "guy"! I totally got distracted by the outfit and ass that I didn't even let my eyes travel beyond that.
