Department Store Dress Up

Does anyone else here enjoy playing dress up at the department store?
Well, I don't know about you but I personally enjoy picking out the most hideous outfits to try on.

It's free fun!

    Heeheee!
    I've never purposely tried on ugly clothes, no, but this is a very good idea. Instead of trying on something you THINK should fit, you WANT to fit and having the clothes laugh at you, you can laugh at THEM: Hahaaa, you sucker!

    The cat dress looks kinda cool on you though. Must be your cattitude.

    awe, that cat dress looks good on you! Sometimes we do this too; at least until the sales lady catches on and starts giving us annoyed stares.

    Not with clothes, but sunglasses and accessories YES!!! Actually, I just love finding feather boas, hats, and big honking glasses to dress my wee girl up in and then snapping a pic! :> Never thought about the free fun factor....what a great way to look at it!!

    Thanks for the smile!

    It's soooo much fun to play Department Store Dress Up when you're shopping with a friend. That way you can pick hideous clothes for each other, try them on and then laugh at each other when you come out of the dressing room! It's the best =)

    Love the crazy dresses. I do that all the time too, except I put on the most ridiculous dress I can, come back out to my friends/family and try to ask them as seriously as possible how it looks. They usually start blushing and stammer something like "Uhh... it's interesting...? :)

    O__O Oh my. The first dress with the fantabulous hair looks like an 80s explosion that went wrong. TOTALLY TUBULAR.

    Hideous!! I love them all! Okay maybe only the white dress, the rest are a bit meh. Fun game. When I was shopping for wedding dresses I got suckered into playing this game by my friends. For every dress I actually liked they made me try on one they "liked."

    Yep, the pink dress IS cute. I do this with my friend a lot. I don't think I ever laugh harder (especially when you get stuck in a brown courdoroy jumpsuit marked down to $4.00. Is it bad that I ripped it a little bit? It's just $4.00, right?!) Shhhh...:)

    Wayyy ugly clothes are one of life's simple joys. I love your badass poses, haha!!!! :) I definitely tried on that hot pink monstrosity this past weekend as a joke, almost positive it is the same one as you're modeling so sassily. The cat tube sock dress is by far my favorite though! :) MEOW!

    Love it. The funniest is seeing those same items crossing the counter by the register because someone is actually buying them. I love digital photo technology. I also photo my butt in pants to compare and decide which pair looks the best before buying.
