So for the past couple of days we have been experiencing some really stunning, outrageously beautiful days in the DMV. Not officially out of the winter season (which was a little milder than expected), it goes without saying that the warmth is more than welcome. It also goes without saying that because the weather has been unseasonably warm, many unscrupulous individuals have had the audacity to walk out their homes wearing questionable attire and have committed various heinous beauty acts which are in extreme violation of what is sound and reasonable. Following is a list of my top three pet peeves and if you fall into one of these categories, it’s ok. Just be mindful and make some changes.
Crocadile feet. Yes I said crocodile feet. Jagged toe nails that haven’t seen a file, emory board or jack hammer in forever. Crusty (crust + rust = crusty) feet that haven’t seen a pumice stone or lotion in who knows how long. Chipped toenail polish – is it on or off? Make a decision. Please care for yourself enough to care for your feet – go get yourself a pedicure or do one at home.
Ill fitting shoes. Just in case you didn’t know, your shoes should actually fit. Your toes should not hang off the front of your open toe shoe/sandal, looking like bird claws on a perch nor should your big heel hang off the back of your shoe like a car hanging off a cliff in a movie. It is also not acceptable to wear shoes that you have to tip in (yes tip). You have seen her before (or maybe it’s you). She is wearing a great outfit and really nice shoes that she can’t walk gracefully in. Instead she looks like she is taking shorter, stifled steps, perhaps like she is walking a tightrope because her feet are balled up like fists inside of a shoe that doesn’t fit. Just because the shoe is cute doesn’t mean it will work for you. Go shopping in the latter part of the day when your foot is a little bigger and you can get a more accurate fit for your foot. Also when we are older we pretty much know what our shoe size is but our feet do change over time and it is a good idea to have someone measure your foot. This way you won’t have to be a tipper.

Ill fitting undergarments or lack thereof. With warm weather people tend to wear more sheer fabrics. Nothing wrong with that per se but please make sure you have (and actually wear) a slip and/or tank top with your outfits. No one needs to see your private parts while you are picking up eggs at the grocery store. And please, to the more – let’s just say voluptuous folk out there, body shapers are your friend.
