It was stacey's idea. Sometimes, I think she just comes up with these things because she knows it makes my day to do stuff like this. I told her it reminded me of Katie's "ugly betty day". We should have gone and got mom's ponchos to complete the ensemble. A few things I learned from our day of adventure:
1. My camera sucks at inside pictures...look how blurry and grainy this one is.
2. Stacey doesn't own any ugly pants. I had to let her borrow my pink ones (psst...I wore them to work today), which made them perfect because they are about 4 inches too short for her long legs.
3. I have lots of options for combining clashing colors and patterns. Look at my awesome socks, even...thanks, ange!
4. It's sad when it's ugly outfit day and your roommate doesn't even notice... (me and stacey eagerly listening to judith opening the door... "hi girls....why you smiling so big?....") I wonder what that infers about my everyday (not ugly, might I add) outfits.
5. Fashions are crazy enough right now that only one person mentioned anything to us as we went shopping ("I like your pants..." to me).
6. Dressing insane doesn't stop anyone from thinking you work at barnes and noble:
"hey, do you ladies know the children's book about (some weird name)"
"no...don't think I've heard that one"
some big long story about how his kids got it from the library once and now he can't find it
me: "I would try googling that phrase in quotes and see what comes up"
"oh...I could try that...where's your computer?...I can't find anything in your store..."
"er...I don't know where any computers are....sorry (do barnes and noble employees always dress like this?!)"
7. Even sitting at home doing nothing is a party on ugly outfit day.
8. Winner ugly outfits don't necessarilly give you guitar hero super powers.
9. The excitement of your own ugly outfit can cause you to forget what you're doing when filling your car with gas (ten minutes later...."oh....I should have selected "midgrade" before I pulled the pump trigger.... I get how this works!")
Here's to any future Ugly Outfit Days...(maybe tomorrow?)

I might be able to get a roommate to participate, but definitelly with the same response from the other roommate. I can just see it. "...Why are you guys smiling so big?"
Dang I miss hanging out with you. I want to wear ugly outfits with you! The two of you look AWSOME!
I loved ugly outfit day! Thanks for letting us participate. Maybe my outfit gave me guitar hero special powers. I wish it would last. :)
I don't own enough variety to come up with an ugly outfit day. I only own lots of shorts and lots of T-shirts. But I did participate in ugly tie day often on my mission. Most of those ties are now hidden in a bag in my basement. Sometimes I bring them out and frighten people with them.
You both look awesome. I think that your next day should be frump day. I mean I do it all the time and I feel great!
yes...then our roommate really wouldn't have noticed. haha.
