things i hate.

A warning in advance: This is going to be a pessimistic, negative and somewhat grumpy post, as exam results are coming out this week... yeah, no further explanation needed. Veena is grumpy this week, and therefore her blogging will be a little grumpy too. Today, I'm going to talk about things I hate. Look, I even made sets on Polyvore representing all these crappy things that make me annoyed!
In my opinion, you're only eligible to wear bustiers (or "bralets") if you have the body for it. No one wants to see a plus-size babe bursting out of one of these, nor do they want to see a lanky, flat-chested person with a bustier hanging loosely off their shoulders (sorry, I'm being kind of a bitch right now as you can probably tell). I certainly don't have the body for one of these, and I don't think many people do. Another danger with these provocative tops is that its easy to look a little too slutty in them, regardless of how much you cover up your other assets. To me, bustiers are suitable for a few occasions only: with a high-waisted bandage skirt for parties/clubbing, or with daisy dukes for concerts and festivals (coachella, sigh).
Another article of clothing that annoys me: leggings. Like I mentioned with bustiers, these are only appropriate for certain body types. If you're short, these probably aren't for you. If you don't have lean, long perfect legs, these aren't for you. If you're gonna wear a crop top or a shirt of normal length, these also aren't for you. LEGGINGS ARE NOT PANTS. It is not at all decent for people to trot around with their tush out if they're wearing leggings, because leggings are not pants and you need to cover up your butt if you're going to wear leggings okay it's just the way the world works. But there's an exception made for dancers. Leggings are okay, for anyone and everyone. And it's okay to have your tush out if you're a dancer because dancers are special.
Okay I've made exceptions for both bustiers and leggings because in fairness, SOME people can pull them off, but platform high-tops are a massive no-no. They're seriously just disgusting. They make me nauseous. Perhaps you'll reconsider if you ever reach a seriously desperate stage in your life (cue Regina George's Juicy'd up mommaa)... But I doubt most of you will become botoxed, glammed-up OCD mothers who serve their teenage-daughters mocktails (if you don't understand my Mean Girls references I will be very sad), therefore you should all avoid these horrific heeled-sneakers. There's just no reason any sane human being would deem these acceptable to flaunt in public - let alone design them and make people pay outrageous prices for them. Okay my evil ranting is done. I promise you won't see another post of this nature in a long time.

  1. I could not agree more because I see no reason to EVER wear bustiers or leggings unless you have the correct body type. There are exceptions, but I think of it as a pretty general fashion rule. I hope you feel better soon :) Good luck on your exam results!

  6. I cannot cannot cannot pull off leggings because I've a pear-shaped bottom :( My thighs are huge but the bottom part after my knees are so tiny so it just totally gives me a weird shape :(

    And I thought hi-tops were for sk8ter gurls, oops :X

  7. Agree completely with the figure thing, one of the worst things about summer fashion is when the wrong people wear the most specific clothes, I do have a thing for platform converse though although more like these; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Women-Canvas-Platform-Sneakers-White-US-6-7-8-/280728500012?pt=US_Women_s_Shoes&var=&hash=item415cb8f72c#ht_5476wt_1061

  17. I know these are all opinions but for whatever reason this just feels mean-spirited and pointless. We sort of share the world and I think any woman should be able to wear what she wants. The brands that produce these products expect women to wear them and suggesting that only certain body types can have that privilege is absurd. If you don't like what you see, look somewhere else. I hope no one else takes this too seriously...Hopefully you'll think about this topic a little more.
