This morning, Jamie looked like she was auditioning to play an extra in a bad ’80s movie about a hair band. She’d be one of the girls waiting to try to meet the lead singer after a show.
Update
Since our beloved traffic reporter continues to deliver on the frightening fashion front, I’ve decided to restart WTF Is Jamie Shupak Wearing? as a user-generated, submission-based blog. Please submit your photos here and I’ll post them as is, with or without comments. If you would like to remain anonymous, please indicate that request in your note. Looking forward to the submissions!

Not sure what she was going for, I’m thinking 19th century librarian. Idk I’m kinda drunk now. Just remembered I took this pic this morning.

OMG, this poor girl. Thick coral skirt with REVERSE pleats? And I’ve seen that top before… I love her, and I know she’s pregnant, which can be hard when you’re a little nugget, but she needs gay help.
Ed note: I’m pretty sure she’s not pregnant, but everything else stands.
WTF Was Jamie Shupak Wearing in 2011?
It’s been a great year in fashion for everyone’s favorite New York City traffic reporter. While I’ve enjoyed making fun of Ms. Shupak’s style choices, I must bid adieu to make time for other projects. Thanks for following the blog, and thank you, Jamie, for providing the inspiration.
The Next Libyan Dictator?
Have you seen Jamie’s outfit this morning? I think she raided Gadhafi’s closet after he died. (submitted by Daniel)
A very astute observation, Daniel — and topical!
Leopard print is one of those patterns that seems to always be trendy, but whenever I see it, all I can think is, “Somebody’s been perusing the sale rack at Daffy’s again!” I’m sure there are expensive designers who incorporate leopard print into their clothing as well, but this attire is not acceptable for women under the age of 50—of course, unless you’re Snooki. (Speaking of, anyone need a Halloween costume?) Though if “Jersey Shore” is the look Ms. Shupak is going for, she’s doing it wrong. You’re not going to snag any juice heads wearing a modest black T-shirt, Jamie! Next time, choose a V-neck that’s one size smaller, and maybe get something like “Rich Bitch” bedazzled across the chest. They like shiny things.
Welcome, new followers! Thanks to a write-up on Jamie Shupak on Nytimes.com, WTF Is Jamie Shupak Wearing? is getting another bump in traffic (pun intended). I’m sure Ms. Shupak is well aware of my little blog now, since every time she’s featured somewhere, WTFIJSW gets mentioned too, but hopefully that won’t stop her from flaunting her fashion sense every weekday morning. Here’s to a fantastic fall full of glorious get-ups!
Violet, you’re turning violet

Thanks, Jon! I saw this outfit today too, but didn’t think of the Willie Wonka angle—well done. Pat actually called this color “NY1 blue,” and Jamie exclaimed, “I’m the mascot of NY1,” extending her arms so that we, the viewers, could get the full effect.
Ms. Shupak must be going through her “blue period” because it’s practically the only color she’s been wearing lately. She did stray from that hue on Tuesday to wear the following eye sore.
It’s like Annie-meets-goth. Now that I think about it, perhaps she’s paying homage to favorite kids’ movies: “The sun will come out tomorrow!”
Good Lord! Has Jamie been raiding Melanie Griffith’s Working Girl closet? A royal blue satin wrap-around blouse with a ruffled collar doesn’t exactly scream “young,” “hip” and “modern” in 2011. And to make things worse, she wore the shirt with jeans—all business on the top and casual down below. How much you wanna bet she’s got white Reeboks on her feet?
