Goodnight Little Spoon: Monday List | Unbecoming Accessories

Monday List | Unbecoming Accessories

Of course, these are just my opinion. I do think people should wear whatever makes them feel good really - if you can rock socks and sandals, go you! Do you disagree/have any to suggest?

It is fun to imagine one orange fake tanned, socks and sandal wearing, speedo sporting, segway riding, bluetooth headset talking, mulletted, falling down pants and shoulder pad wearing person. I almost want to draw that!

+ Definitely bum bags/fanny packs as suggested by Puppy Love Princess.

Jeggings. Also, tight beige trousers - especially at this time of year when it's dark a lot in Scotland; I keep seeing women walking towards me and having to check if they've forgotten to put their bottom halves on.

Bluetooth headsets don't really bother me, especially if someone is using one while shopping or driving... However when I was a cashier and someone was talking on one, and I thought they were talking to ME... That was awkward!

I really am a huge fan in self love and people dressing/looking how they want, but my biggest pet peeve is PJs in public on men and women and people with super long fingernails. :xxxx

Flips flops worn with suits/office attire. I think this might be just a Sydney thing. I'm astounded every time I see it!
