This thread started out kind of fun, but seemed to take a turn for the....worse. someone's size isn't "trendy" and I know I love clothing just like I love art. It's a way of self expression...
It's sad to see that size 00-size4 women are hated by some on here. Dontcha know that small petite girlies that happen to be teeeeny need clothes too? I know I would be happy at any size or shape, I just happened to be born small. I love being small, I love my skinny jeans and I love my uggs when it's icy and below freezing. Yeah, when its effing cold uggs are useful.
I honestly don't care what people wear. If it makes them feel awesome. Let 'em wear it. I'm all for people feeling good on a daily basis and loving what they wear. Whether it would be a pair of uggs, skinny jeans, crocs, short skirts, sweat pants, etc.
I know I LOVE what I wear. I have my designer bags that some people were hating on. I don't care if people think my bags are fake. I know they aren't and therefore won't fall apart from being poorly manufactured. I love my HUGE sunglasses that cover 1/3 of my face. I wear wedges and white sandals. I love leggings and ballet flats. I also love wearing sweaters, logo hoodies, boho skirts that are layered, wide leg jeans, spangly dresses, sequined stuff, pearls, 6" pumps, long leather jackets, green pea coats, sports clothing and other things too. They are all in my wardrobe, for different things and different occasions.
Maybe I am a fashion disaster.
I'm really starting to not like people who are being snarky - not necessarily people here on Specktra but in general. I've had enough! Maybe you call me a bitch, sure. Ok. Maybe I am. And anyone who wants to judge what kind of person I am based on my clothing...I really dunno what to say to that....judge away, cause I can't stop you.
So my "trend" complaint is that people are hyper-sensitive yet mean-spirited and looking to get a rise out of you at the same time.
For example (this has really happened to me, about shoes and other things too):
I say "I love wearing Manolo Blahniks!"
They retort with "OMG!!!11!
WEARING MANOLO BLAHNIK HEELS!!!! that is soooooooooooo/soooooo not (fill in the blank here with something they feel highly about and believe they have superior knowledge of)!!!!!!
You must be a (fill in the blank with something nasty) and I'll even bet that you are (fill in the blank here with something demeaning)!!!!11 I'm offended that you would even think that about MEEEEEEE and my (the thing they felt highly about)!!!!!11"
When it had nothing to do with them, their cause (or whatever) and it just meant that I liked wearing heels that happened to be a bit pricey. I don't care that they cost more than a "regular" pair of shoes or might give me funny shaped little toes. So did being
en pointe for four years in dance. You didn't bother to make a fuss about my feet when I was a dancer! You telling me I'm
whatever for wearing them doesn't make it more about you or less enjoyable for me. It still just means that I love my shoes and I'm gonna wear them cause they make me feel good.
I feel like I've responded to people like this all the time over and over. On the internet and in real life.
Am I really alone in dealing with people who don't seem to be capable of being a teensy bit happy when someone else is happy? Why does everything I do seem to be a big fat problem for everyone around me? I'm happy about me and my decisions! Am I the only one? Some days I wanna retire on an uninhabited island with my shoes and wear them in the illogical sand and swim in heels simply because it would piss
someone off.

this didn't make me mad...just thought I would post some info on horse riding since I love the sport and wanted to clear it of its apparent bad fashion name...
I <333 riding. Western and English. You don't usually tuck your boots in while riding
Western style. Unless you wanna mess your boots up and end up with massive blisters and mess your ankles up, etc. *ouch!*
English riding on the other hand you wear tall riding boots on top of leggings/breeches, usually with patches to keep you from getting nasty bruises/calluses (esp. for beginning riders) - so they aren't really everyday pants. Maybe this was what you were thinking:
or this for Western:
but notice how her boots are inside her pants.
So the trend you were talking about I don't think is really from horse riding. Unless it was riding breeches they were tucking their boots into.
oh...and I know their outfits probably look silly and disastrous. But trust me. It gets the job done and I'll bet they have loads of fun wearing those outfits on their horses.
*sigh* I bet I will get flamed for all of this...I give up.
