Sexy Schmexy

So, I have an ongoing joke with Maddi (Australian) where whenever one of us sees a Frenchperson in a weird outfit, she texts the other with the outfit so we can both enjoy a laugh! It started with a conversation about the horrors of double-denim (you know who you are) and it has evolved into the most wonderful form of entertainment that I feel compelled to share! We don't bother, however, with the day-to-day French-isms. We hold our breath for the best!
Here is what made this week's fashion faux-pas cutoff:
  • Purple striped Pippy Longstockings knee-socks with platform shoes
  • High pig-tails and a black pirate bandana
  • All black with a Hello Kitty hair-bow, neon pink tights, and cat eyes (eyeliner)
  • Adidas track pants tucked into socks
  • Half-inch thick cat eyes only on the bottom
  • Cat eyes on the top with a dash (-) of eyeliner just underlining the pupil on the bottom
  • Union Jack tights with sandals and shorts under a long coat
  • Leather boots so high the ends can't be seen under a below-knew-length floral skirt
  • A top hat, a floor length gown, and a blanket
  • Flowers drawn next to the eyes
Last, but most certainly not least..... (drumroll, please)
...wait for it
Worn today by a guy in my class:
  • A shiny v-neck, purple leopard print shirt, topped off with nothing else but double-denim! (To all of my knowledge, he is as straight as a sticker bush... But then again, this is France, and one can never be certain.)
