What to wear:
Jeans with any top layer
Jeans go with everything.
A suit
Barney Stinson would be proud.
What not to wear:
Sweats and Ugg boots
Never wear Uggs, sweatpants, and a sweatshirt. You look really tacky, stupid, and for a girls: a huge bimbo.
Have any outfit ideas whether ones to wear and what not to wear? Let me know and I may add them to the list.
Wear:
Jeans
Everyone can pull off a pair of jeans: baggy, slimfit, skinny, you decide on your preference but you can never go wrong with a pair of jeans.
T-shirt
Nothing wrong with a T-shirt. If you need to put on something quickly, settle for that. I prefer graphic Ts but sometimes plain works as well.
Polo shirt
I think everyone looks more stylish in a polo shirt.
Sweater
Nothing wrong with a sweater and I think they’re better than sweatshirts and look more stylish with jeans. Sweatshirts are cool too but when you wear them with jeans you look like everyone else on the street. Don’t you want to stand out just a little bit?
Dress pants
Now, dress pants with a sweatshirt can be a snazzy choice because you’ve got casual mixed with fancy.
Sneakers
Nothing wrong with a pair of kicks. I always like to match my shoes to one of the colours I’m wearing.
Vest
Not many people wear vests anymore and I think they’re really hip. Sweater vests though, talk to Chandler Bing about them.
Sports jacket
I prefer “suit jacket” but usually sports jackets don’t complete a suit. Though, they could. They’re great over a pair of jeans and make you more stylish.
Sandals
Nothing wrong with a pair of sandals.
Hat
They’re stylish and they’re are so many kinds. Great to wear on a hot day or maybe in winter.
Dock shoes
Nothing wrong with a pair of dock shoes but some styles are better than others.
What you may be able to pull off:
Socks with sandals
Usually the elderly can pull these off but I’ve noticed some people younger as well can. Maybe ask some people before you try this one.
Shoes without socks
For some people, it works really well especially for girls. Though, your feet may stink after a while. Maybe go for some Geox shoes.
Brightly coloured pants
Girls are the best when it comes to wearing these, but again, you may want to consult.
Don’t Wear
Ugg Boots
They’re tacky and look stupid.
Sweatpants
Unless you’re just lounging around the house, don’t wear them.
Flipflops
First of all, they’re terrible for your feet and second of all, wear sandals.
First of all, for those of you not living in Australia, you’re not wearing Ugg boots properly anyway. They were never designed for winter. They were designed for the beach or the hot climate of Australia. The problem with consumerism is that once one company sells their product to one specific target in one specific country, the company then wants to target that same company in other countries. And then after that happens, other companies become jealous and start making mock products of the product that one company was successful in selling. This is how moccasins, Ugg boots, and other products have become so popular.
Well, I’m not here to discuss other products, I’m here to discuss Ugg boots.
First off, they are for bimbos.
“What’s a bimbo?” you may ask.
A bimbo according to the Mac Dictionary is:
“an attractive but empty-headed young woman, esp. one perceived as a willing sex object.”
It’s Italian for “little child.”
Well, forget the “willing sex object” part and focus on “an attractive but empty-headed young woman”. First of all, all women are attractive, but some are clueless. I mean, half of these girls are probably buying these stupid boots because they’re popular and thus will make them more attractive or maybe they think they’re actually attractive and therefore have been brainwashed by the media. Sadly, a lot of us are.
Well, let me try to clear your head. Ugg boots look stupid especially when you wear them in winter which they were not designed for at all. All the salt and water stains on your boots, not pleasant and even less pleasant on a pair of Ugg boots. Honestly, the fad for Ugg boots has destroyed the design for me so even if I saw them in Australia being worn properly, I would probably still hate them.
I don’t see what make these boots so cool to girls. I once even saw a man wear some weird slipper version of them on the Summerhill subway platform. I nearly threwup.
Honestly, Ugg boots look tacky especially worn with sweat pants, but that’s for another post.
I mean girls, seriously, don’t you know that once every one begins wearing one product, that product stops becoming cool? Why have you destroyed cool with these boots? THEY’RE NOT EVEN COOL!
Also, a lot of you don’t seem to wear them properly. I’ve seen some girls walk around literally crushing the heel of the boot. You’re almost walking on the side of the boot. A) that’s not good for your feet and B) you look stupid not just because you’re wearing the boots. Honestly, I think we should do what Sweden did with crocks, BAN THEM! But then again, crocks did actually create a nuisance due to static electricity. We could argue though that Uggs create a nuisance too, an ugly one. They’ve destroyed the fashion of the world.

Hungry
You know that feeling you get when you want to eat something? Anything. It doesn’t always have to be food related. Well, that my friends is what we English speakers call “hungry.” Though, it’s not always about eating anything. I mean, if you’re hungry for change, that doesn’t actually mean you want to “eat” change. If it does, well then I’ve gotten many concepts wrong. Though, how do you actually “eat” change? I guess if you ate coins, that could be eating change. Let me know how that works for you.
But we all get hungry sometimes.
So when were you last ferociously hungry and what did you eat to satisfy the desire?
A while back the Globe and Mail released an article about how doctors can now gene read children before they are born. In other words, a parent can know who their child will be before they’re even born. That means they could know if they’ll be interested in physical activities, be artistic, a genius, etc. This then allows the parents of the child to make the “right decisions” for their child. For example, if they know their child might not want to be an athlete, they can make decisions to change that so they become more involved in sports. Maybe they feed them more naturally friendly foods, work out with their child, I don’t know, but I hate this whole idea. What about the element of surprise? The whole point of living is all about surprises. If we knew our future and how everything is going to turn out, what is the point of living? We know how it ends. Where’s the fun? Where’s the excitement? Where’s the surprise? I’ll answer that for you, there isn’t any.
When doctors could tell parents the gender of their child, I wasn’t at all happy because knowing the gender of your child already gets you prepared for who’ll they’ll be. And what happens if you didn’t want a boy or a girl or twins or whatever? Are you now getting an abortion? I really hope this isn’t the option people choose because that’s just disgusting. Every child has the right to life.
Of course you might ask what I think about the whole subject of abortion. I mean, if a teenager is pregnant, should she have to give birth to that child? Well, I do believe that, that is the teenager’s decision. You could argue that the girl could just give birth to the child and send them to an orphanage but I don’t think I quite agree with giving birth to someone just to give them to someone else. Sure, parents die and other terrible things happen. But if you can’t take care of your kid, A) you should never have gotten pregnant and B) if you do get pregnant, abortion might be an option because no child should suffer their life because of your mistake.
So what do I think about abortion? That the creator should decided what happens to her creation. And when I type creator, I mean the mother. Bill Cosby said: “I brought you in this world, and I can take you out.” Well, as a mother of a child, you can do just that in a sense.
But now that you’ve read that last paragraph, that is the problem with even knowing the gender of your child. If you don’t want the certain gender, you’re probably disappointed and might not raise the child properly. But everyone knows about a mother’s love when she first sees her child. I believe that when the mother sees her baby for the first time, she instantly falls in love. Now, maybe this doesn’t happen to every mother, I don’t know, but I would hope it does. If then you already know their gender, that mother’s love might not even appear because you knew about the child before they were even born. This is also the problem with knowing the genes of your kid. The surprise is gone. You should plan your kid’s future with them and not before they’ve entered this world. Would you like someone else to make your decisions for you and learn all about you before you even know yourself? I wouldn’t think so.
