That people like the look and young women are wearing them in summer months with dresses just seems bizarre to me. But then I look fondly back at my highschool style of kilts, fishnets, combat boots and a mohawk. I wouldn't wear it now, but I still think it was cute and interesting! YMMV! But I guess that's what makes life interesting. If everyone liked the same things it'd be dullsville. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/most-bizarre-thing-you-saw-in-mainstream-fashion-this-year/page/2#post-203638 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 15:35:40 +0000 FiestyWife 203638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am just so confused by who comes up with this stuff? Bloomers (SEQUINED bloomers?) and a dead horse on someone's sleeve? The only person I can imagine wearing the horse is like a fashion Godfather..."You mess with me and this horse ends up in your closet!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/most-bizarre-thing-you-saw-in-mainstream-fashion-this-year/page/2#post-203622 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 15:03:05 +0000 Maya 203622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the duck cardigan looks cute on the model, actually. </p> <p>I must have atrocious taste by YLF standards because most of the stuff posted here doesn't offend me too much...dead pony cardigan and diaper shorts aside. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/most-bizarre-thing-you-saw-in-mainstream-fashion-this-year/page/2#post-203618 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 14:57:43 +0000 Anonymous 203618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, that jacket is tempting as it could turn a rectangle into an hourglass with its seaming detail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/most-bizarre-thing-you-saw-in-mainstream-fashion-this-year/page/2#post-203606 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 14:45:29 +0000 biscuitsmom 203606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL...You guys are priceless! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/most-bizarre-thing-you-saw-in-mainstream-fashion-this-year/page/2#post-203581 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 13:25:47 +0000 Dashrashi 203581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually liked the duck cardigan--it felt very clubby and grandpa-ish. Too thick when I felt it in person, but I thought it was cute. The pony cardigan, however, stopped me in my tracks and led to a conference with my bf on "the actual ugliest thing Anthro has ever sold." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/most-bizarre-thing-you-saw-in-mainstream-fashion-this-year/page/2#post-203576 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 13:04:53 +0000 Kristine 203576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Uggs are pretty bizarre, we're just numb to them. Imagine looking back in 20 years, they're going to be laughing! Ooh colored Uggs, tall Uggs, Uggs with laces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/most-bizarre-thing-you-saw-in-mainstream-fashion-this-year/page/2#post-203559 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 10:10:09 +0000 April 203559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I really like Anthro as well, because it's exciting and different. I always look there with interest, particularly at their jackets, which I can mesh with my style pretty well.</p> <p>SO has a relative with a strong boho style who tends to get Anthro items from us on gift-giving occasions. Recently, that mallard cardi was a serious contender! For some reason, I don't find it nearly as strange as the pony, though we ultimately went with<a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=18752733&amp;parentid=BAYNOTE">this jacket</a>. </p> <p>Ladies -- Ugg boots? I get that they're not stylish, but hardly bizarre! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/most-bizarre-thing-you-saw-in-mainstream-fashion-this-year/page/2#post-203500 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 03:49:30 +0000 Anonymous 203500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are too funny! That mallard cardi looks like some granny's knitting project, the kind you get gifted with for Christmas and have to wear to family gatherings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/most-bizarre-thing-you-saw-in-mainstream-fashion-this-year/page/2#post-203488 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 03:39:09 +0000 Mae 203488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>O.M.G. Hmm. I would *dare* you to purchase these and make them work, but they're far too expensive for a dare. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/most-bizarre-thing-you-saw-in-mainstream-fashion-this-year/page/2#post-203445 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 02:43:56 +0000 Michelle 203445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth, your hysterical, pun-tastic comment woke Corey up!!

Ugh.<br /> Booties with capri length leggings </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/most-bizarre-thing-you-saw-in-mainstream-fashion-this-year/page/2#post-203427 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 02:07:40 +0000 Sparky 203427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shana, the scary thing is the costume price would actually be in line with some of the kid costumes out there. The Chasing Fireflies catalog has been known to show up in my house, and one time DD fished it out of the recycling bin and picked out costumes for each family member. " Mommy, look, my costume is only $120 dollars! I really really really really want it!" That gave me a few gray hairs right there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/most-bizarre-thing-you-saw-in-mainstream-fashion-this-year/page/2#post-203426 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 02:05:52 +0000 Maya 203426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anthro is not generally popular on YLF but I think it's a great store. Well, more for me I guess! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/most-bizarre-thing-you-saw-in-mainstream-fashion-this-year/page/2#post-203422 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 02:01:18 +0000 annagybe 203422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so not Anthropologie's target audience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/most-bizarre-thing-you-saw-in-mainstream-fashion-this-year/page/2#post-203420 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 02:00:48 +0000 Maya 203420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, I like the sequin pants/bloomers and don't mind the sandal boot things. The cardigan is ugly and sad though, but I don't see this as representing Anthropologie or the Anthro shopper at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/most-bizarre-thing-you-saw-in-mainstream-fashion-this-year#post-203418 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 01:59:02 +0000 shana 203418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can I suggest an addendum to the rules: juniors stores don't count. After all, they are known for some really bizarre...I mean avant garde looks. There are probably many gems on UO or wetseal or hot topic etc. </p> <p>Like I said, Anthro always has a few hits. For those that loved the poni cardigan, you might also like the migrating mallard cardigan: </p> <p><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?subCategoryId=CLOTHES-SWEATERS-CARDIGANS&#038;id=18523159&#038;catId=CLOTHES-SWEATERS&#038;pushId=CLOTHES-SWEATERS&#038;popId=CLOTHES&#038;sortProperties=&#038;navCount=70&#038;navAction=top&#038;fromCategoryPage=true&#038;selectedProductSize=&#038;selectedProductSize1=&#038;color=040&#038;colorName=BLUE&#038;isSubcategory=true&#038;isProduct=true&#038;isBigImage=&#038;templateType=" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....plateType=</a></p> <p>Description: Take a closer look: what seems to be a patchwork of mixed hues and stitches is actually a duck alighting on its way southward.</p> <p>Sparky, that would be one expensive halloween costume!</p> <p>Sorry, April for hogging your thread - as you can tell, I am really enjoying it!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/most-bizarre-thing-you-saw-in-mainstream-fashion-this-year#post-203415 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 01:57:21 +0000 annagybe 203415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually if they were truly sequin harem pants I might consider it, but right now they're glorified sweatpants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/most-bizarre-thing-you-saw-in-mainstream-fashion-this-year#post-203408 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 01:48:10 +0000 Sparky 203408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh!
