Freaky Friday: Worst 2012 Trends

Friday, January 18, 2013

 Alright, first up is the winner of the Liverpool Jeans giveaway. Head on over to Liverpool's Facebook page at 11am PST to see who gets the skinnies!


 Hey friends! Or at least, people who were my friends until I offended them with this post. Seriously, yesterday I posted about hating bubble necklaces on my Facebook page and I lost two fans over it. I'M SORRY OK? Still, I decided to keep up the streak and post about all the things I hated in fashion last year. It'll help me start 2013 with less rage, I promise.




 K, well I still don't like bubble necklaces. They started with J.Crew and while I love J.Crew I dislike the bandwagon it creates.

 
However, I'm not adverse to Buble necklaces, which reader Jenifer alerted me to. Oh, we have fun on Facebook. I would like these necklaces to become the new fashion blogger piece du jour. Make it happen!


 Harem pants flatter no one. You should never look like you're packing this much weight in your pants. Like, ever. It's suspicious.

 Of course, then there are rompers. Because fully disrobing to go to the washroom is like, so hot right now.

Then, when a romper and harem pants have a love child, I lose all faith in humanity. This model looks far too happy for me. Hey lady -- your outfit is going to be in a pile on the floor of a public bathroom in a mall. Stop smiling so much.

 Hi-lo skirts... especially ones that are this obvious and OB/GYN friendly... offend me. If it can be described as a mullet, it's not for you. EVER.

 Hey, I love me a little pattern mixing. But I mean like, two patterns. Going all koo-koo-kachoo with it and then acting serious is crazypants. It makes you look like a colorblind elf.

I hate when summer rolls around and people start attending music festivals dressed like they're going to Woodstock. Girl, you weren't even alive during Woodstock. You know what I wear to festivals? Pants and a sense of dignity. 

Ugh Lennon glasses are gross. They make everyone look like they have bushman eyebrows. And please don't send me unhappy emails for making fun of both Lennon and Yoko Ono in the space of a month. I won't respond because I'm too busy watching this excellent piece of performance art.


 Sheer skirts. WHY. I have a hard enough time deciding what I'm going to wear without worry about how my undies match.



 Socks and heels. Because you're a short and confused 4 year old.


 I am SO OVER the shaved side hair. I see it way too often, even here in uber-Conservative Utah. It's like ugh, if you want to be rebellious can't you just like buy a motorcycle and rob a bank or something? PS growing this out will be heinous I'm just trying to think ahead.


Alright, sound off. What was your most hated trend? Do you think I'm a jerk. Are you going to defriend me on Facebook? Because I don't think I can take any more of that rejection.

I'm so glad someone else thinks those necklaces are ugly.

Ok, I had to google "bubble necklace" and have to say, I'm not a fan. Not really a jewlery wearer to begin with and that would be so far out of my comfort zone it wouldn't make it 30 seconds around my neck. Also, rompers. Yeah, they need to go away. I only disagree with the shaved head business because I really really want a mohawk (yes, I'm almost 40) and my baby brother gives me mohawk envy every time I see his picture on fb. But yes, I have thought about how hard it would be to grow out and how heinous it would look doing so, thus have never gotten one.

There will be no defriending. I look forward to Freaky Friday all week! Your commentary cracks me up. So much.

I didn't even know some of those things were trends.... I'm old I guess ;) I'm glad you don't like hi-low skirts/dresses. I don't think we could be friends if you did. Pick a length!
I'm not a fan of the bubble necklaces either.... just not a fan.

THANK YOU!! I hate those bubble necklaces too. Finally someone just says it.

Jae said...

Bahaha Freaky Friday comments are my favorites. I'm glad I've successfully cultivated a group of readers who I'd actually be friends with IRL. It makes me feel happy inside.

PS I think I might put that Yoko Ono song on my iPod and listen to it every morning when I wake up.

I don't mind other people wearing bubble necklaces but on my 5'1 frame I just look like I've raided my Mum's jewelry box (which was ok when I was 4 but not when I'm 37). Those things are HUGE!!!!!! Anything Hi-low makes me shudder - especially teens in hi-low t-shirts (didn't we learn ANYTHING from crop tops???) seriously teens, put your boobs away!!!!!
