Otherwise, as I've mentioned recently, people in my unsophisticated town seem quite pulled together. I do some work with recently released felons and even they are largely&nbsp;color coordinated&nbsp;and extremely clean, even the homeless ones. I don't know how they do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peoplewatching-wis-wiw-wib#post-939469 Thu, 23 May 2013 01:21:00 +0000 donnat 939469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I love the shoes..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peoplewatching-wis-wiw-wib#post-939464 Thu, 23 May 2013 01:16:21 +0000 Suz 939464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting observations, Shedev. You've inspired me to do some people watching, too. Love your vest!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peoplewatching-wis-wiw-wib#post-939459 Thu, 23 May 2013 01:05:38 +0000 shedev 939459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I mean no offense, Peri. I'm not really young or healthy. I have Celiacs Disease. Pain is a part of my daily life, including joint pain. I use insoles to increase the comfort of my shoes. We also have a ton of shoe choices now days. There are loafers and oxfords and sassy sneaks and probably many other choices. I cant wear the dainty flip-flop type of sandal, but the Clarks I got today are comfortable and look nice to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peoplewatching-wis-wiw-wib#post-939440 Thu, 23 May 2013 00:43:58 +0000 Peri 939440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd like to beg some forgiveness for the ladies in their "trainers". Maybe they are clueless...but maybe they can't help it. Maybe they are injured or have arthritis or are facing a knee replacement. Maybe that's the only way they can do enough walking to shop. Maybe that's why there is a disconnect between their shoes and the rest of their outfit. Maybe they are me.</p> <p>You are lucky if you are young and healthy and get to decide your whole outfit based on aesthetics. Not everyone is lucky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peoplewatching-wis-wiw-wib#post-939389 Wed, 22 May 2013 23:47:45 +0000 shedev 939389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just think that there are people that do casual really well and its not the same as going out in PJs or looking like you just grabbed something off the floor and threw it on. <br />I didnt see any intentional slouch and not even a semi tuck. I did see plenty of nice dresses with sandals and a few people dressed similaly to me. Someone told me that my vest was very stylish. I get a lot of&nbsp;nice ( ), where'd you get it, but since I tend to like unusual items, I dont get a as many in style comments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peoplewatching-wis-wiw-wib#post-939368 Wed, 22 May 2013 23:12:10 +0000 Angie 939368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAH! Rachy! I was thinking the same thing! High five Overly casual dress is so deliberately thought out these days - it's a formality. </p> <p>That's a lovely colour palette, Shedev. It's nice to see burgundy worn in the warmer months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peoplewatching-wis-wiw-wib#post-939363 Wed, 22 May 2013 23:08:29 +0000 rachylou 939363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's interesting about the intentional casual. It can be so thought out, well, it's practically formal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peoplewatching-wis-wiw-wib#post-939238 Wed, 22 May 2013 20:36:46 +0000 shedev 939238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>pictures </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/peoplewatching-wis-wiw-wib#post-939236 Wed, 22 May 2013 20:31:45 +0000 shedev 939236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>computer malfunction<br />matched shoes with shirt and shorts.

Thinking about the nation of slobs thread, I wanted to look at both ends of the shopping spectrum. I started off at my local thrift store. The shoppers were mostly older and mostly frumpy. There were a lot of white trainers that seemed disconnected from the rest of the outfit. <br />My next stop was a larger thrift store in a more suburban area. The patrons were a little better dressed, but it still had its fair share of frump.<br />My last stop was the Nordies sale. There was much less frump, but there was some.<br />A few thoughts.<br />I saw people at all the locations wearing nontapered capris that came to the wide part of the calf and nontapered crops.<br />Footwear was the biggest difference between the best and worst dressed. I saw a woman wearing a nice tank, vest and jeans, then ruined it with 5finger vibram type shoes. Saw a fair amount of crocs with nicer outfits.<br />If there&nbsp;are both intentional and unintentional slouch, then it is fair to say there&nbsp;are intentional and unintentional casual.
