Friday Fashion Faux Pas

It's amazing how many faux pas I can see in a day sometimes. On my way home to the Old Port from work, I encountered these two very lovely, yet horribly dressed young ladies. I'm not sure where they were going or why they were wearing what appears to be Alice in Wonderland costumes, but needless to say, I felt they were worthy of capturing. Although they are committing serious fashion crimes, at least they do it in a fun-loving kind of way.

When I first spotted these two, I almost laughed out loud. Mainly at Safari Sam wearing what's known as the Pith Helmet. This atrocious bean cover shouldn't be worn in the city, country, or anywhere in the world that doesn't have a jungle. But, our friend Sam here seems to think it's fashionable, and has chosen to be the laughing stock of every passerby. Thanks Sam! Special mention goes to his partner in crime for wearing just a plain old ugly hat. 

Finally, after taking a stroll through Marché Bonsecours, I encountered one of the worst mannequins I've ever seen. What would drive someone to wear this giant white sheet decorated with sequins is beyond me. I cannot think of any place where one would want to wear such a disaster. There is nothing aesthetically pleasing about it. Major fashion FAIL.
