K, I've actually read through this whole thread... and there are a few things i'd mention that have already been said, but noticeably absent is my biggest hate:
10-15 year old girls covered in Playboy logo clothes n jewellery. It's just wrong. Their parents shouldn't allow it.

+ Ugg boots in the summer - UGGHHH, they're so freakin' ugly! Especially when paired with a mini skirt or sweats.
+ Crocs - they look good on no one
+ Grungy looking sweats or workout gear when you're shopping at the mall; make a little bit of an effort OK?
+ I still see older ladies at the grocery store with rollers? Yikes!
+ Gangsta style uber baggy pants - it doesn't look cool, instead it makes you look like you pooped your pants.
+ Midriff baring tops. Most of the ladies I see with this look shouldn't be wearing these. Rolls of fat bulging over your super low rise jeans aren't appealing.
+ super low rise jeans. Very few people can wear these and look good.
+ Too tight jeans or slacks. Camel-toe is not fashionable.
+ Little children wearing Playboy and obscene logos; what are their parents thinking?
+ Young girls lugging designer bags around; what will they have to aspire to when they grow up?
+ And yeah, the butt cracks and whalebone from those who are wearing said low rise jeans are just blechh!
Yes, I do like to wear skinny jeans tucked into my Frye motorcycle boots. Didn't realize until I read this thread I was committing a crime worthy of the fashion police! And I intend to continue this practice because it makes my legs look longer.

1. I believe wedgie high heel shoes - with or without platforms have had their moment and then some ….(as I, sheepishly, kick and hide the 5 pairs I own under the bed)
2. I believe the Men who are lucky enough to have Girlfriends and Wives should at least make an effort to dress up when it is clear that they did so for them in a day or night on the town!!!
(All Men are created EVIL!)
3. Even though it is NOT a fashion trend more than it is a Fashion faux pas…CHIPPED NAIL POLISH??????!!!!!!!!! It’s, especially, disheartening when you see this phenomenon on those celebrities with more money than God. Hello Brittany Spears we see you!
A trend that I hope will become trendy but, (for some reason isn’t) is - Reverse French Manicure!
Probably, because every time you ask the Nail Technician to execute it they have no idea what you’re talking about…it pees every time I see it – it’s so Cool and Sexy and Elegant! Work it out Ladies!
On a more serious and very solemn note.
I hate to be the purveyor of bad news kids, but TamEva has taken a long and horrid glimpse in her Crystal Sphere of Fashion and there is Doom and Gloom in the forecast!!!
We are on the verge of a “Cute Shoes Drought” …yes…you read me - a Cute Shoe Drought.
A Fashion Famine of such proportions that threatens your very pursuit of the perfectly stylish and wonderfully glamorous shoes that, actually, stand the test of time. That no matter what decade, president, or fleeting world war is upon us you may take them out of your shoe closet and walk the streets in confidence!
I feel that it is very important that you all know this. Mark my words in a few short years you will not be able to walk into any store selling shoes and come away with anything worthy of the money spent in way of style. The drought usually lasts for 7 years. The last Cute Shoe Drought ended with the advent of the movie “Chicago”. We’ve had a few good years. The time has come to say goodbye to this era, stock up now while still can. The Crystal was unclear as to why this had to happen - when upon asked. But…if you follow any of those theories in the “Law of Chaos” one will understand and appreciate that there is natural order of things in the ebb and flow of the universe, this has especially been evident in the way of the Fashionable Shoes over the course of a millennia.
I know many of you may have mixed feeling of the current retro styles dating back to the ’20,’30, ‘40, ‘50’s. But one has remember these retro styles hearken back to a time when Real Fashion meant something. There are only so many ways to design a great looking shoe. Unfortunately, we are currently on the cusp of experiencing retro 1990’s fashion…you know what that means…I can’t even acknowledge the word…but it begins with the letter “G”.
My good Girlfriends, and I, laugh merrily as we’re walking away from a good sale with some cute shoes in tow. We giggle as we reassure ourselves that there will always be Cute shoe to buy. That is a MYTH! And I always see the truth in the eyes of my friends who are a few years older. I catch the glimmer of the sad truth in my sideways glance to them.
You’ll all pray to any God that will listen that you could find some elegant retro shoe to wear to an important function that didn’t require you to wear a plastic band around your wrist.
You young en’s aren’t old enough to even know what a Cute Shoe Drought is. Well congratulations, you will soon find out! Luckily, I’m old enough to have lived through at least 1 Cute Shoe Drought, and therefore have taken precautions. Not, much less, unlike stocking up your Bombshelter with certain essential provisions!
Please remember what TamEva said next time you’re at the Macy’s 50% their 50% off shoe sale!
…And don’t kill the messenger!
Kisses!
P.S. An honorable mention to Paris Hilton who has single handedly, with her size 11 feet that is, changed the course of the way mass shoe designer & manufacturers market to 10+ shoe sizes! Think I’m crazy? Do the research.

What's the big deal in having one? Some people say it's insane to spend that kind of money on a bag, but if you're not willing to spend it, why walk around with a fake one like you did? That's just fronting. Fakes are worth nothing, while real bags hold their value. You could get a nice bag for the $$ people are charging for a fake one.

My son, who will be 4 next month, LOVES pink. I try to encourage him to like whatever he likes but he has friends at his school that bombard him with "pink is only for girls" BS and in spite of our support it is sinking in. Sigh. One little boy, who he is unfortunately very close with, was teasing my son because his shoes weren't Sketchers, and has a Mom who freaked out when she saw her son playing with a doll.
I have no idea why pink is considered strictly feminine. Frankly, I don't like pink but if my kiddo wants to wear it, more power to him.
Actually, a trend that really bugs me is the lack of bright, colorful clothing for little boys. My son's favorite shirts are bright tye-dyes and bright stripes and it is extremely difficult to find anything new for him that isn't drab and/or sports-themed. I end up combing thrift stores to find things he likes because stuff in the retail stores is sooooo dull.

Oh god. I saw a very young girl (maybe 10 or 11) and her mother walk into a store I was in last weekend and headed straight for the playboy section. They were picking stuff out for both of them.
It was really sad, actually.
Thank you Shimmer, I'll definitely read that.

My 8 year old is extremely fashion conscious. If something doesn't look good, is ripped, snagged, dirty, stained, or the shoelaces are too short, it's not going to be worn. Buttons are buttoned collars are flat and sweaters are coordinating with the bottom layer.
He's a boy.
It just kills me everytime I see him preening.

That is quite sad, but even more sad, I'm not surprised.
Also, what confuses me is the amount of money spent on children... hello, what kind of 11 year old needs weekly manicures, monthly hair dyes and thousands upon thousands of dollars each year for clothes?
And then their mothers have let themselves go. The mothers care more about their child than themselves. IMO, you should care for yourself no matter what (like a daily relaxing shower, good skincare reime, good health, good nutrition, exercise, hair/makeup upkeep)

I'd like to comment on the opposite extreme of this student fashion phenomenon. I'm an instructor at a major university and almost ALL of my female students come to class in the same tired-looking ensemble: hair in a messy ponytail with an elastic headband, a hoodie or random t-shirt from her highschool, sweatpants (often with something billboarded across her ass), northface jacket, Very Bradley oversize tote, and the obligatory Uggs.
It's as if they believe the message they're sending is, "I'm so low-maintenance; I'm not superficial enough to care about looking nice for class". Is it any coincidence you're all wearing THE SAME THING?!?! Clearly you DO care enough to put together an outfit with brand names that conforms to some notion of what is "in".
And what is so superficial about taking pride in your appearance? (Certainly, there are equally offensive cases of extreme vanity). I'm convinced that students who wake up a little earlier and put themselves together are generally more ready to learn. They are 100% present in their mindset in class. Those schlumpy students (I say students because there is definitely a male version of the aforementioned slacker uniform) are usually half-asleep or hungover. Their image projects apathy. Don't they respect their professor and the other students enough to get cleaned up?
In sum, 3 hours of primping constitutes a case of superfluous vanity, in my opinion. But 3 minutes is a merely a different form of the same narcissism.

And you will have tried to hard for pretty much nothing. |

I don't think I really believe this fake purse/Taliban crap.
Besides, everytime you buy gas you're giving money to the Taliban.
I love how that's never mentioned
