Worst Dressed: When Ugly AND Expensive Meet

At last, a solution to the age-old problem of excessive shoe, “What if my footwear covered even less?” Who doesn’t enjoy the luxury of stepping directly on gravel?

You know someone who owns a chain of nail salons suggested this. :woman_facepalming:

An ad for this item came up in my Facebook newsfeed. At first I thought it was a photo of horse hooves, but when I clicked on the ad, this is what appeared. I automatically thought of this cafe thread! https://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/givenchy-leather-fringe-sandals-prod286830241

Looks like a designer was running out of ideas. But wait! What if the shoe had bangs? (Fashion is fearless and dignity is optional.) These also remind me of a foot option someone posted upthread that could also replace your Roomba.

It seems to me you could just make these by glueing plastic fringe to a pair of heeled sandals.

The product description says: “These fringed sandals by Givenchy are sure to make a statement.” I’ll say! What statement? “I’m IN the Kentucky Derby? (not watching it)”

The statement for most of these atrocities is, “I have more money (and an unresolved need for attention) than common sense.”

I ran into this ad in the WSJ Magazine today and thought, well, that’s practical for running around midtown barefoot. So I checked the price - skirt is $8150 and shirt $4350. The furry tail purse is “price upon request.”

Given that a classic Chanel bag is over $12k, the furry tail thing will be at least that much but likely significantly more! :laughing:

Looks like the squirrel bag is a part of the whole collection! Metiers d’art aka “beanie babies for the one percenters”!

Is she barefoot or is she wearing those almost-sandals upthread? Hard to tell. :joy: Perfect for dancing atop a taxi. And who hasn’t dreamed of drowning in plaid?

I’m definitely putting that giraffe purse on my wish list; my current purse isn’t tall enough.

Finally, a purse that can look down on people as much as its owner. For those occasions when your outfit isn’t attracting quite enough unwanted attention.

Actually, I love the fabrics in that skirt and blouse – I think the combination is wonderful.

But no, not for those prices!

Yes, but you don’t have to wear the 1970’s drapes or bedspread. :joy:

Scarlett O’Hara and Carol Burnett know how to do it on a budget! :rofl:

(Scarlett’s Gone with the Wind dress made out of draperies and Carol’s Went with the Wind sketch.)
