Barcelona Calling_Chapter 1 For you Twitterers...Happy tweeting! Here's your twitter link:
Today's question for commenting fun & contest entry: If you witnessed a fashion faux pas would you tell the person? Maybe you have before, or you were the victim of a fashion faux pas. Tell us about it. (if you want to comment as anonymous, please leave your name and first initial of your last name in your comment so you can be tracked each day)
Thought I would provide you again my website. Feel free to take a look, sign my guest book, or write me directly. Always a pleasure to hear from my readers, or soon-to-be-a reader.

Would I tell? Only if the person would feel grateful for the comment, like zippers left open, or one time a big blood blot on the back of a white skirt (she turned it to the side and covered it with a purse).

I absolutely love the fashion style sense of the UK - anything goes - wonderful sense of creativity in dressing, so unlike the sameness of how NAmericans dress! so what would be seen as faux pas to NA, would be embraced overseas!
i love that fresh approach, so wouldn't say anything to another who was expressing their personal style in dressing. Like on TLC's What Not To Wear - wearing wt after labour day is ok! and varied bag & shoes is fashionable! what isn't fashionable, and def faux pas, is wearing clothes the wrong age or size! if it was done by a close family or friend, i would encourage with something positive to redirect them in their choices - like complimenting them on something they wore that was great!

Sometimes it is hard not to notice. Like the time a fellow teacher was writing on the chalkboard and his wife's bra begin emerging from his shirtsleeve. That static cling can be deadly.
