Hmmm...

Problem #1: Pants are too tight. You can tell because her belly hangs over them.
Problem #2: Shirt is too tight. You can tell because it hugs her rolls and the shape of her belly. It is also tucked in, which does nothing to hide the belly or slenderize it.
Problem #3: Patterns. Kudos to her for tying her long-sleeved shirt around her neck in a proper manner. Shame on her for even dreaming of leaving the house wearing a floral print under stripes. Egad!

Oy vey...

I doubt anyone will disagree with me on this disgrace.

1. Hair should be taken proper care of; see a hairdresser anywhere from every other week to once a month. This girl's hair is ratty at the ends and it looks like she just got out of bed and stuck it in pigtails. Plain, ponytail pigtails should be reserved for females under the age of 10.
2. It is clear she's wearing at least three necklaces. One is plenty. Jewelry should highlight an outfit, not choke off your neck.
3. It's true, not everyone can wear a strapless bra. It's also true that there's no real desire for most young people to cover up a lot in hot weather. Where can you compromise? Find a bra with clear straps or one that has the same strap structure as your shirt. The less conspicuous your undergarments, the better. If you insist on letting your undergarments show, make sure they look clean. The parts of this bra that stick out appear dingy. Yuck!
3. Someone with a "bacne" problem should not flaunt it. It's true that you shouldn't be ashamed of your body for any reason, but that doesn't mean to announce to the world: "I have zits all over my back!" A shirt that comes further up would conceal the problem.
4. From what you can see of the design on this shirt, it's hideous! Different colored panels on the back, black, tan ,white and who knows what else--it can't possibly match anything, much less that brown purse.

Just Frumpy

We have here someone in sweatpants with a sweatshirt round her waist. What's so wrong about that?
1. Sweatpants make people look dumpy. Why? Because they do not conform to the natural curves of the body, they're made of frumpy material and they're always either baggy (which makes a person look bigger) or too tight (which is just plain bad. Period.). When you go out in public, think of what would happen if someone photographed you and put you in a magazine. Would you want to look your best or worst? Chances are you want to look your best. Anytime you are caught wearing sweatpants--tight or floppy--you are probably in "comfort mode" and aren't looking your best. Even if you're going to the grocery store or the post office, you always want to look good. Who knows who you'll see.
2. Yes, it gets hot sometimes and you have to shed heavy layers. Putting layers around your waist, however, creates unattractive lines. The woman here now has a large rump (no matter how large it was before in the sweatpants) and no curves lower than the top of the sweatshirt. Try carrying your sweatshirt on one arm, having someone in your party put it in a backpack, or tie it around your shoulders (gasp!) in traditionally-preppy fashion. You'll look ten times better.

Grrr...
