Fashion observations while taking a break from last minute Christmas shopping as viewed from a bench in a small town mall

Fashion disaster No. 1:
Victim wears tight lurid apple-green pants held up by sparkling diamante belt matched with pink spaghetti strap and toting a pink (what else?) handbag. She nicely rounds up the sugary sweet cavity-inducing ensemble with pink lipstick and green eye shadow. Winner in the colourblind category of taking matching wa-a-ay too seriously.

Fashion disaster No 2:
Victim appears like an unassuming middle-aged mum in t-shirt and jeans. Closer observation however reveals that her jeans seem to be missing several sizeable pieces of fabric. Diamond-shaped, playing card-sized cut outs on front upper thighs leaves lasting disturbing image and invokes pity for teenaged daughter (who also appears ordinary, but with such a role model, who knows?). I am still thanking my lucky stars that as she turned to go, her rearview was amply covered.

There was one saving grace though..

Most Fashionable Award:
Pint-sized and impossibly cute 5 or 6 year old boy in knee-length cargo shorts, rugby shirt with turned up collar and an over-sized cap turned sideways on a jaunty angle. Pair the clothes with an attitude to match: both hands in pockets, nose turned up and a swagger to die for. This one’s going to be a lady killer when he grows up. There’s hope for Ipoh girls yet!

PS: And finally, Christmas shopping is done. Hallelujah!

ah yes, but you see you toned it all down by wearing a dark pair of jeans. Hehe! There's a fine line between fashionable and fashion-un-able ;)
