Now as a rule, I don't go for that fashion police thing like those feisty 'go fug yourself' babes where one berates the style of a passer by... but on this occasion, two separate incidents of fashion faux pas have truly offended my stylists eye.
Having spent the morning writing about mixing up prints as a trend for the coming season (see tomorrows www.runningwithheels.com post), I came across a couple of pics I had taken in separate city's but with the common thread of just plain YIKES!
I am the first to put my hand up and say many a time I've stepped out of the house feeling extremely fashion fabulous, only to catch a glimpse of my reflection in a shop window later in the day with a sharp intake of breath and the immortal phrase "what was I thinking?" rattling around my pea sized brain.
I also realize that my street style photography skills are sadly lacking, certainly not up to the fine detail of fellow acclaimed blogger 'The Sartorialist' , who's street vibe shots are akin to that shot of schnapps that pulls your groggy mind into focus on the tip of a Tyrolean ski run.
I may well have to concentrate more on my secret nightly TMZ addiction to appreciate quite how the paparazzo pull off the 'I want your picture but am trying not to let you see me take it' approach.
Clearly being a complete chicken is not in the job spec of the TMZ hit squad, so am not planning to hang up my fashion blogging mitts yet, but enjoy the YIKES factors below...
