Friday's Faux Paw

I know I have said this before but people need to get a good tailor. I am getting so frustrated seeing people wear clothes that simply don't fit. A few days ago a woman was crossing the street and her yoga pants (that's already a no-no see this) were over her shoes and dragging on the ground. I thought the following, "Is she on her way to clown college? Did someone hit her with a shrink ray? Is she borrowing someone else's pants?" Because it's so easy and cheap (around eight dollars) to go to a tailor and get pants hemmed I wonder why there are still people that walk around looking like that. Because I have mentioned getting a tailor many times, I now give this my stinkiest rating:

Friday's Faux Paw

If it doesn't fit you must acquit! While that may have been a popular saying years ago at the OJ Simpson trial, the same holds true in fashion to this day. In case you don't know, the majority of humans cannot buy directly off the rack and get the clothing to perfectly fit. Yes I'm talking to all the ladies that think they have weird bodies. It is not you, it is the clothes! They are made based on what the industry thinks is a standard size. They will fit many people but not all people. Doesn't that make you feel better? I know when Joelle realized this gem of information she became rather happy. So unless you are scared of looking good, go and find yourself a good tailor. Otherwise your most expensive outfit (like Gwyneth shown here) that doesn't fit well will look cheap. Good tailoring means you can spend less get the outfit tailored and look like a million bucks. If you don't, you deserve this rating:  Follow on Bloglovin

Friday's Faux Paw

I think that everybody should know about this faux paw already but time and time again I see this horrible crime against fashion occurring everywhere! This affront applies to men, women, children, even dogs - wearing clothes that do not fit! Have I not taught you anything? There is nothing so unattractive as to see a woman or man wearing a dress shirt and the buttons look like they are about to pop off and hit me in the eye. You can't help but stare at the person's chest which is especially uncomfortable if the human in question is female. Or watching a woman wearing a dress with seams straining that makes me afraid if she makes one false move I am going to be seeing a lot more than I'd like to. Maybe a male human won't mind but you're not my type as I am a dog. Please for the love of everything, buy clothes that fit you. If you have put on a few pounds this Christmas (as I too am guilty of) and an article of clothing no longer fits, then temporarily "retire" it until you lose the weight. Another option is give the piece of clothing away to someone who needs it more and buy a replacement that fits. My Mom Joelle has a problem buying button-up shirts that fit as she is small in the waist but broad shouldered with a larger bust. So she has to buy a button-up that fits her bust and shoulders and gets the waist taken in by a tailor. Follow her example and do the same. With any piece of clothing make sure it fits you in your largest spot and get the rest taken in. It is much easier for a tailor to take an a garment in than to let it out. No more peep shows, okay?

Friday's Faux Paw

Sorry ladies, you need to wait until next week! I am aware that some men follow our blog so today is a faux paw for all the men out there. I see this blunder commited time and time again by men. I am speaking of pants that are too short in the leg. Men's pants are made for different leg lengths - listen up people who design women's pants because the same courtesy should be shown to women too! Usually at a store for regular guys, some common leg lengths for men are 30", 32", 34", and 36". Now here's the tricky part. If you have a 31" inseam - DO NOT buy a pair of 30" pants. It seems like this is what you guys do because when I can see sock when you are standing (and believe me as a dog I have a great vantage point to notice this) you look like you are waiting for a flood to occur. Here's a novel concept - why not buy the 32" pair and go to a tailor? For as little as eight dollars and a bit of your time, you can get pants that are the right length. And for those of you who don't know what the right length is, that pant should hit midway between the top of your dress loafer and the top of your shoe sole. Got pants that are shorter in the leg than described? Give them away to a charity and go shopping. Or get your Mom, wife, girlfriend, or friend to go shopping for you.
