You must have been a fashion victim at least once in your life. What hideous blunder did you commit?

Well it depends on who you ask. The one my mom talks about all the time is the crinoline I used to wear over capris leggings (it was 1987, after all). It was a short crinoline, all fluffy white net with pastel edging hitting just above my knee. I wore it with the aforementioned black capris leggings and a vintage (40s) fitted black jacket on top. My mom hated that outfit.

To me the biggest blunder was when I asked my hairdresser to shave a pencil-thin line between my short-short hair around the bottom half of my head and the longer (two inches spiked up) hair on my crown. I'd had this done before and it gave a very clean line between the two different lengths but this hairdresser misunderstood me and shaved a line about an inch -- an inch! -- wide all the way around. It was hideous. And she did it two days before prom. Happily I was able to pull some hair down over the bald parts and in my prom pictures, I look pretty normal. Except for the hideous pouf skirt in my dress (1986), which perhaps is the biggest blunder of that event now that I think about it.
