Got a text message from a woman I've nicknamed Top Model (TM). My replies are in green.
TM: have u ever thought about a transit fashion feature?
Actually no, but you intrigue me ... continue.
TM: have you ever looked at what some people wear on the GO train some days?
From time to time, I do, but I'm not a fashionista so I'm not sure if I'm of good authority to judge
TM: What are your thoughts on Uggs?
Ugh.
TM: LOL, exactly.
Sometimes I will look at someone and think, what made you wear that?
TM: Like?
Well, overweight woman in leggings. I'm a larger woman and you wouldn't catch me dead in leggings.
TM: Are we talking women where all you see is their stomach and butt fat?
Yeah, looks like an apron!
TM: What's that?
When the stomach hangs like an apron. Sadly all that's missing from mine is "Kiss the Cook".
TM: Oh man, LOL ... yeah... Why would any woman want to accentuate that?
I sure as hell don't know. Leg fat is what I can't look at. Reminds me of ground beef wrapped in saran wrap.
TM: Lol!!! Oh my god ...
I have a friend who could probably help me write a what not to wear feature. She was just commenting the other day how stupid it looks when women pair yoga pants with a dress shirt and wear that to work.
TM: OMG. I've seen that. It's so unprofessional.
And flip flops? Since when did beach wear become the norm? I can only imagine the damage to their posture over time.
TM: There's a guy on my train who wears a cowboy hat 12 months a year
I think that's sexy!
TM: You wouldn't think that if you saw the condition it was in.
What about Crocs?
TM: Not to work!
I don't know if this would fly, let me put it out to the crowd.

I think commenting on people's appearance is too personal. It's easy to cross over to attacking people because they aren't physically attractive. On RTCT we focus on behaviour, not appearance, and I think that's a fair fight.
I don't think uggs are atractive, but it doesn't impact my life if somebody wears them. Who are we to tell other people what they should wear? To each their own.
I'm with kary on this one.
I agree. Stick to bad attitudes and inconsiderate gestures.
Well, TM, my three top commentators feel sorta like I do. Personal attacks aren't what people want to read. We all have our what made you wear that moments, such as my take on leggings and uggs, but it's not a fit for the blog.
Hmmm, I seem to recall a post quite a while ago about Cougar attire. Was that inappropriate?
I get what you're saying but there's a way to do this without alienating people for sure.
You mean this post?

It really was not the best look for her.
I didn't spend a lot of time on this kind of content and I agree with the others it's not where this blog should go.
Hey TM
How?
Already the cougar post is being booed.
Personal attacks aside, I'm shocked at what some people wear to work. You don't have to spend alot of money, clean and ironed clothes go along way. And some people really need a refresher on what "casual Friday" actually means!!!
