What's the ugliest thing in your wardrobe?

It really depends on the perspective. I think all the things in my wardrobe are nice, or I wouldn’t have them. My wife, that’s a different story. I have white outfits that she hates. She hates when I wear my white pants with my white shirt. But the fabric is nice and they are comfortable. I wear them to church, and I know she doesn’t like that.

I guess I’d have to say flannel shirts from the late ’80s and early ’90s. They were popular when grunge was big. The thing is, I still really like flannel. It’s comfortable. Too bad it’s not in style. Hopefully grunge makes a comeback, when and if Kurt Cobain writes some new material.

I got this necklace at Target. It has these silver discs all around it. It was in their dollar bin. Some might say that would be the ugliest, but every time I wear it, I get lots of compliments. I guess I’ll have to say these boots I have from high school. They have steel toes and holes in them. I usually only wear them once a year, on Halloween.

I have these boxer shorts that an ex-girlfriend made for me. They say “I love bad girls” right on the butt. Those might be the worst piece of clothing I own. I have a pretty plain wardrobe. Everything is black, blue, grey…and other bruise colors.

I have this outfit I got for a ’70s party. I got it at a thrift store. It has these overall-type straps with shoulder pads. It’s aqua blue with shiny fabric, a belt, and pleats. It’s not something I’d normally wear. And I don’t think I have a lot of ugly things in my wardrobe. I clean out my closets often, so I don’t have a lot of outfits that I never wear or don’t care for.

It would probably be this red silk robe I own. I don’t wear bathrobes, but I have it for when girlfriends come over. Which means, it only comes out once every two years or so. But, it’s nice to have something to offer the woman when she gets up out of bed and walks around the house.
