i'm from toronto, canada. adding to the tunic, patterned top and endless leggings, let me add the TNA BAGS from Aritzia (for those who don't know, Aritzia is quite an expensive store that has their own house gym wear TNA). ughhhhhhhhh......you can count 10 girls in 5 seconds while you're walking down the street. it doesn't matter where you are, downtown or the suburbs, EVERY freakin girl/woman is carrying a TNA bag. i honestly never liked them (i find them boring), even when they weren't so saturated into everyday life.

Damn. Shimmer hit the nail on the head about Dallas.
In New Orleans, you see a little bit of everything. As far as fashion, it ranges polos/khakis to ass-baring, midcalf length "shorts"/jeans and black or white tee shirts on men. For the ladies, we see every damn thing that is too tight, from the tops to the shorts to the pants. Not very fashion forward. We mostly dress for comfort on a hot, sticky day---and many of us don't do that well.
And, makeup? Don't even ask. I just saw my friend's MySpace picture of her wearing some red eyeshadow up to the brow. Yeah, what's the name of that show? "We Need To Do Better".

Hehe this is awesome! I love hearing everyone's gripes.
One more thing that I forgot about Salt Lake and was reminded yesterday of this while I was driving: EVERYONE here hangs their snowboard goggles on their rearview mirror. How dumb is that. If you snowboard you are cool, which is dumb because EVERYONE here snowboards!! So everone is cool!!
Another thing is the brand of the goggles.. You have to have Spy or Oakley or whatever.. it's hilarious. This is dumb that I saw this yesterday because we are in the first of August and there is no snow!! LOL
PS I must admit I did this once. Only cause my goggles were dripping wet and I hung them to dry.

- Polo shirts with the collar up... eww
City:
- Emo kids! There are swarms of them hanging around the train station, the parks, outside churches, sitting on the footpaths getting in the way! They are sort of like pigeons..
- Metro mullet and metro mohawk
- Louis Vuitton
- Big chunky floro coloured Nike 80's style hightops with skinny jeans

- Dior sunglasses
- Skinny jeans

I have to say that Melbourne is generally a pretty good looking city
Everyones got thier own style but some need trends to tell them what to wear.

Those TNA bags annoy the hell out of me. They are basically overpriced canvas totes. They'll die out, just like Lululemon bags.

Personally, I wouldn't mind having the eyeliner tattoo. You can not even see it and it makes your lashes look thick.

This is in Tinley Park, IL, a southern suburb of Chicago. At VJA High >_<|||| I'm so happy I graduated!
So this is actually funny, I went back to my highschool before summer came around to visit my old art teacher. I walked through the halls during a class change and the biggest trends I saw in one sitting was:
- Over Bleached Jeans
- Horribly Highlighted Hair
- Skunk Hair
- Layered Tanks at least 2 or 3 each
- Sweatpants with JUICY!!! on the butt
- Coach Bags everywhere
- Flats
- Abercrombie Jean Skirts with Black Leggings (I saw three girls in a row wearing these)
- Neo Mullets and Half Hawks are huge here for guys.
- Women's jeans on men
- Men's jeans on women
- Lip piercings, another thing that got popular in my years at highschool (Hell, I pierced my lip in my lunch hour back then, not my smartest moment, but at least it didn't get infected
)
Okay, and I am going to admit, I am not scene, but I am very close to it, I have a neo mullet motley crue hair, and I wear skinny jeans, flats, chucks, vans etc etc. Only difference, I've been in this style for 5 years since my sophomore year in high school. I saw a few girls dressed literally JUST like me walking with me to the art room. They sneered at me and walked past me.
Well exxxxxcuuuuuseeeee me! But weren't you the girls wearing abercrombie and fitch last year with your bleached hair? Now you've got a Iron Maiden t-shirt, leggings and a pair of vans to do with your home-skunk hair and extensions, not to mention your gross application of eyeliner that makes you look like a raccoon!
Yeah.. I have hate for emo/scene kids, but it's kinda a paradox because I do dress like them, but I am not one of them. Does that make sense? Like... I've been in love with the 80's, not with myspace. XD
