Credit Where Due

Bell-Bottoming Out
Sometimes, knit and crochet come together in one pattern-- harmonizing beautifully-- complementing one another perfectly...
This is not one of those times:
...Is it just me, or do those ruffles look like they belong on a Latin American calypso costume?

The Return of Doily-Pants
...Now with cool denim accents!
Do you prefer groovy doily bell-bottoms...?
...Or something a little more form-fitting?
Either way, we've got you covered. (Well, sort of.)

Where, Pray Tell?
Just where, exactly, are you supposed to wear this knit set?
"Around the house" is the only remotely acceptable answer that comes to mind, but I wouldn't want to jeopardize my marriage. Ok, so I jest-- but why is the top designed to reveal the belly-- that very part of the body that probably 90% of us would rather not put on prominent display?

Groovy
Check out these groovy matching sweaters!
(Dude. They even look like they're the same size.)
Those knitted pantlets are the great, too. (But why isn't he wearing a matching pair, hmm? Chicken.)

"Wheee! I'm Wearing Crochet Pants!"
The model in this photo looks so ecstatic-- so full of joie de vivre!
. . . Which is amazing, given what she's wearing:
The crocheted tunic (with pineapple lace insets!) I might be persuaded to understand. It's not my favorite style, but to each her own. Over a pair of nice jeans or a pretty skirt-- yes, that could look alright. However, I have less sympathy when it's worn with matching crocheted bell-bottoms (and platform shoes, no less). And it's all white. Somehow, white crocheted pants seem worse than almost any other color. . . (Not sure why, though.)
So, considering the whole ensemble, we can safely assume that Ms. Model's evident exuberence is the result of consuming a little too much rum on her Carribbean vaca.

Knitted No-No
According to my copy of The Know-It-All's Guide to the World, knitted pants are a knitted no-no.
I don't care that they have cool cables running down the sides of the legs.
I don't care that they match your knitted sweater perfectly.
I don't care that you're a grown woman who wears her hair in pigtails* and carries around a balloon for no apparent reason.
Just don't do it.
. . .Well, unless you really want to, of course. No-one can stop you but yourself. But don't come crying to me when people stare. (The world can be so cruel. . .)
*It has come to my attention that in some regions of the English-speaking world, "pigtails" refers to two braids of hair (Pippi Longstocking-style hairdo). Apparently they call this style "bunches" or "angel wings". Huh. You learn somethin' new every day. (Whether you like it or not.)

Creepy Crochet Kids
Don't deny it.
They creep you out, too, don't they?
What with the matching outfits (especially the one with bell-bottoms*) and the (rose-adorned) guitar, I also get the impression that they're like a smaller-scale, more folksy, soulful version of the Brady Bunch Group (whatever they called themselves).
*Ah yes, the crocheted bell-bottoms. (You didn't think those escaped my ever-scrutinizing eye, did you? Oh ye of little faith!) Is it just me, or doesn't it look like the only reason they're staying up is that they're being held up? Might explain why the girl in the skirt is holding the guitar. The bell-bottomed girl has to content herself with vocals, leaving both hands free to avoid a major "wardrobe malfunction".
