A couple more I dislike:
*Asymmetrical necklines or garments with only one arm/shoulder. That's mild OCD on my part. I just HATE for anything to be asymmetrical. Mismatched earrings, whatever. The most I can tolerate without thinking "yecch" is hair parted on the side, or a hair decoration on one side of the head.
*Pointy-toed shoes. I don't know why Stacy of What Not to Wear is always pushing them. They don't make your legs look any longer; they just make your FEET look a mile long.
*Brightly colored, polyester knit slacks, especially those with sewn-in creases up the front. That screams "obese old woman" to me. Maybe that's childhood conditioning. I grew up in the 1970's, when if you were plus size, that or muu-muu's were your only options. If you could find jeans bigger than maybe a size 12, you paid a week's salary for them.
*I'm with Ackman on little girls dressing like sluts. I don't even like adult women to dress like sluts. I once saw an 11-year-old girl attending her grandmother's funeral IN JANUARY wearing a mini-skirt, a midriff top, heels so high she had to stick out her chest and her butt to walk in them, and heavy makeup. Her mother not only approved, but had helped her pick out her clothing, and was dressed the same way. To them this was what "dressing up" meant, but to me, disgusting. Save the skin for the beach, where it belongs.
*Extreme body art. In general, I don't like tattoos, but if they're tasteful and don't steal the show, I can appreciate them. My brother has his son's baby footprints from his birth certificate tattooed right over his heart, and I love that one.
