underwear is meant to be worn UNDERNEATH

it just seems that women in singapore are adamant on displaying their intimate apparel to full glory.

following the revealing outfits of previous entries of...

auntie and intimates

wearing the wrong bra by Gigi Ang

its astonishing what outfits some people can come up with to show what undies they wear.

despite carrying a limited edition Louis Vuitton bag, which i'd have to admit was pretty much of a disaster despite the price tag.

i'm not sure why you would want the world to know that you are wearing a red bra. 

oh... maybe that was the entire point?

*TSK#

or how, you want people to know you are wearing undies with granma lace?

though nothing quite beats what was witnessed on the first day of Chinese New Year.

yes... we were at the Night Safari.

i do not understand why anyone would wear an outfit like that to a tourist attraction where mild trekking or extensive walking is involved.

at first the only thing that caught my eye was the dress falling off her back and revealing her very unflattering white strapless bra.

when i uploaded the picture on photoshop... 

i was aghast to realise that the outfit had asymetrical tails that revealed that lace pattern of her dress.... and her skin... 

*gags#

then there was the anklet which i believe should only be worn by babies...

and the transparent bra straps that are showing and holding up the bra.

*blinks in disbelief#

she looked like she was dressed for some wedding dinner party.

i didn't know that there were animals getting married at the Night Safari.

Peek-a-BRAaaaaaARGH!

its somewhat of a consolation when celebrities themselves make fashion mistakes.

sometimes, i wonder what their stylists were even thinking!

especially when bra straps and bra parts are on full display, because its one thing when celebrities assemble their own outfits... and another when they are on the red carpet!

and what can one say when the bra in speaking is completely granny-like and should be retired?!

so what even if Victoria Beckham attends Victoria Secrets fashion shows? obviously she doesn't think about wearing THEIR undergarments.  

although honestly, i wouldn't be sure that any bra could do that ugly outfit justice.

and sometimes, lingerie is designed so that it serves its basic purpose, it supports, and some bras actually do that job without all the extra strings and tassels like below.

so that they do not end up looking like this.... at the most unexpected moments!

but i was absolutely flabbergasted when an auntie strutted along the pavements of Shaw Centre last night and took the peek-a-braARGH look to new heights last night in the following assemble...

she was out on a night with husband and daughter in tow.

HUSBANDS!

there is a difference between being blind and being chauvinistic and not allowing your partners to leave the house in skimpy outfits, and this outfit was just downright skanky when viewed from the front.

women above 35 should take a cue from JK Rowling to cover up when one overexposes.

humility is an important virtue regardless of your age or in whichever age...

Speaking of which, with 2009 just around the corner, have a smashing fashion-faux-pas free year ahead!

the new VPL: no longer the visible panty-line.. but the "Visible PantyLiner"

its good to know that worldwide... women share common fashion mistakes.

thats because sometimes, a beautiful dresser mirror doesn't reflect all. 

because sometimes, you only see things at face value.

thus its not difficult to understand why the world infront of you can look like the pictures below when women leave their homes without checking their backsides out.

and that is why, it is highly recommended that all households should have at least ONE full length mirror at home, especially helpful if just beside the main door.

and you thought that mirrors besides doors because of fengshui was blah~!

but sometimes.... just sometimes... even a mirror by the door is not much of help.

seemingly nothing wrong?

if a dog was a man's best friend, then sanitary napkins, pantyliners and tampons are a woman's. 

and its important to know that pantyliners exist in all shapes and sizes including the following...

because if you're not careful... wearing a really short skirt and displaying your butt cheeks and/or granny panties will be the least of your concerns.

and this is something that a full length mirror can not detect.
