I didn't see one of these and I love this thread, so here it goes. Tell us your unpopular opinion this week!

I don't like rompers on adults - I haven't seen someone look good in it yet but that could just be because I seriously don't like them!

I LOVE rompers on babies and adults! I'm a little bit too chunky to pull one off and I'm jealous of girls who can! 

mizzkbrat

Apparently according to the other thread, my love for glitter is unpopular! Hahah 

I have a glitter wall in little ones room, her going home outfit says "brand sparkling new" with a huge glitter bow, and her colors in her room are mint green, light pink, and gold glitter. Lots of gold glitter. 

And yes, I'm from the south! 

Edit: spelling

My wedding colors were Ivory, Chocolate, and Gold glitter. I don't use glitter much but I loved it! I do however  have things with gold glitter that will never come out. It's the herpes of the craft world.

they're like dresses for people with a better body shape than me lol.... I've never tried one on because I KNOW it would look terrible on me. lol

When I was at my skinniest (on my honemoon) I wore one as a bathing suit cover up and it was super cute. Now it's hanging in my closet, mocking me.

I don't like them either! They look strange on adults to me.

appropriately timed... my friend just posted pics of herself and another friend on FB and she's in a romper.... annnnnd looks amazing. My eyes would be shooting daggers if it weren't for the fact that the reason it looks so good is because she's mid-divorce so she's lost some weight. She's said it's been one of the best things that's come out of it all lol

annabenanna

You guys, I'm unpopular then.... because I own like 7 rompers.  Both the shorts type of romper and the pants type of romper. lol.  

@mizzkbrat, i love glitter.  especially gold glitter!  

I lol'ed out loud at your herpes comment @MRSCORKER!

I will say, I am not a fan of leopard print stuff though... also don't like the rhinestones glued onto things like picture frames and purses, belts...and especially jeans!!!

@scostel2 Just wanted to say I think Russell Brand is so hot. And, ya know, that could be an unpopular opinion.

@annabenanna... you would! ;-) And you probably look fabulous in them too

westcoastfoodie

Sorry guys, I signed up to post the UO thread, but I'm on the west coast so by the time I'm up to post the UO thread it's already late morning/afternoon for a lot of you  

No one's steppin' on my toes by posting it up, I just don't wanna let ya down or think I'm slacking!

Once upon a time, I did.  LOL.  Now, not so much.  I was pretty bummed the other day too, because I found my white romper I bought in November '15 and bought it thinking "this will be perfect for the upcoming summer!"  Hahahaha.  I guess it'll have to wait till Summer 2017.  

MRSCORKER

@annabenannab I HATE animal print and "bling". Also, camouflage unless you're in the military. 

westcoastfoodie

@MRSCORKER That's what my husband says about glitter! I love it, but it's not allowed in our house because you can never get rid of it lol


I'm indifferent on the romper thing. I have a mild dislike for them which I think is really just envy because I keep trying them on thinking they'll work and they NEVER do. I have a long torso and short legs so they usually look really weird and give me camel toe. (lol tmi?)

I HATE rhinestones and camouflage. DH is on an airsoft team with his friends and one of their wives bought all sorts of camo stuff for their baby when he was born and keeps telling me I can have whatever he's grown out of... NOPE. 

amye102485

@Julia70286 My SIL gave me a pair of PINK CAMO boots for my daughter when she was a baby... they never left the package.

The glitter shipping made me LOL... but scrolling down to see that you can ship someone a bag of dicks BAHAHAHAHA

sjo_thetwins

I love those miss me and rock revival jeans with the rhinestones on the butt pockets. They are the best fitting jeans I have ever owned. Guess that's my UO! Lol

mrszoess

@bnsmith85 I may have sent several of those bag o d's lol

annabenanna

@MRSCORKER and @amye102485, I knew this girl (ex-H's cousin) who had a business called "Bling You Up" and they literally put bling on evvvvveeerrrrrrything.  Everything: nails, starbucks tumblers, hats, etc.  

@Julia70286, one of my friends' newborn photoshoot is of her baby in camo.  I don't get it, but the baby is super cute, so he can at least pull it off.  You know what's worse than regular camo?  PINK CAMO.

I think shoes are stupid on a baby until they can walk and actually require them.

@annabenanna YESSSSS! Oh jeez.

I'm way late because I haven't read through the rest of these UOs yet, but I bought a super cute romper in January for a trip we were going on in May. I got pregnant and we didn't go on the trip because of Zika and that poor romper is just hanging in my closet with the tags still on. Summer 2017 it's coming out!!

I think having a huge blow out 1st birthday party is a waste of money. I don't understand spending all that money when the child won't remember it.

I find it obnoxious when people bring balloons to restaurants. 

sportiegrl1213

@KenderTas06 I agree. I said that to my family and they all looked at me like I was crazy! So I guess I have no choice but have a big party for his 1st.

This!

Have you seen those moccasins that cost $60/pair?  Freshly Picked I think is the brand.  FB keeps suggesting it to me, and i'm like NO NO NO

I threw one for my daughter and honestly it felt more like a "I made it through the first year of motherhood" party to me. This baby probably won't get one because I'm lazy now.

Soo I love leopard print and I own a pair of miss me jeans and that belt shown that I wear to the rodeo or the country bars.

jennielu

My UO opinion of the day is (don't judge me- I've never posted on this thread before) that sometimes when I'm trying to concentrate on something at work, baby kicks are a lil annoying! 

MRSCORKER

@mizzkbrat I'm not upset about that ensemble at a rodeo bar. I feel like that's an acceptable place to wear such things. 

nlane0723

Add me to the anti-rhinestone and anti-camo campaign. I do love all things glitter.

I spent a lot on DD's first birthday. Alice in ONEderland. It was more a celebration of making it through the first year alive. She didn't get a second birthday party because I was cycling and didn't want the added stress.

My UO is that I think Vera Bradley is hideous.

MRSCORKER

@nlane0723 I was firmly in the anti-vera bradley camp until I saw a daiper bag in mint/coral and fell in love. I fought it for a while and then gave in and put it on my registry and it was the first thing someone bought. I still hate most of the prints though! 

Along the same lines, I hate Lily Pulitzer. Everything looks like a watermelon threw up on it.

I can see that. I definitely think celebrating the making it through the 1st year/ their birthday is important. I just can't understand spending thousands of dollars on the party and make it into a huge production, (we have a friend who is having a circus theme- and is renting popcorn machines/ cotton candy machines/ bounce houses/ ect.)

Ok, that is excessive...

My UO then is that I love little tiny baby shoes. I would never buy any new ones though because what a waste, but I can't resist when I see them at second hand stores! My SIL gave me a bunch of hand me downs from her son, and included were a pair of shoes I bought for him for her shower. I was talking to my cousin about baby shoes a few weeks ago (her LO is like 6 months) and how adorable and silly they are at the same time. She had the good point that they help hold on socks lol.

Oh, and Vera Bradley. I used to hate them, thought they looked too busy, but now I adore them. I actually just ordered a duffel to use as my hospital bag!

Edited because I forgot stuff lol.
