Confused Biker Chick


I never realized until now that New Years Eve is a haven for bad fashion.
To our left we have a serious case of not knowing what's appropriate to wear to a dressy yet not black tie event. If this girl was going out to a club or even just to hang out with her friends her outfit would have been okay, except for the sliver of skin showing at her ankles that the boots should have covered. That's never okay especially when wearing leggings. I kid you not, to a dress affair she wore black spandex leggings with a silk blue mini dress that was riding up her ass all night. If I wanted to look like I had a permanent wedgie I would have worn this outfit too. To top it all off she wore a gray leather jacket. Were you trying to be a biker chick? Well if you were, you failed miserably. The mix of trends here fell short of hitting the mark. The jacket didn't complement the outfit or her at all, since it wasn't fitted. It was also a casual jacket which didn't match the event either. If she was going for the leggings with boots trend, she didn't hit it. The skin showing ruins the sleek look that is supposed to be achieved by doing that. The Boots should have covered up to her calves, period. There's no excuse for that.

Now if she wanted this outfit to be appropriate for the affair she was attending, she should have worn black pantyhose or opaque tights. The hose or tights would have created the same effect as the leggings, but added a dressier look to the outfit. The boots weren't dressy enough either, she looked like she just got off her motorcycle. Instead she could have worn a dress boot that created a simple line all the way to the tip of the toes. The jacket, useless, she wasn't riding in on a Harley. The blue silk dress, if she'd worn tights or hose and the proper shoes, would have made an extremely cute outfit.
