(No disrespect to soccer moms, I'm just trying to point out that the trend has really just gone too far)

Sorry. Love my maxi dresses. Loved them for a long time anyway. They're comfortable, they fit me well, and they require minimal effort for me.

And I love Ed Hardy, if taken in bits and pieces, not as a whole look.

Ok.
Better.
Carry on.

i don't know if i've stated this before or not, but just for good measure: fuzzy boots paired with miniskirts...srsly, what the hell?

 

[SparklingWaves]

Wearing PJ's to work with flip flops. Okay, who hit the snooze button too many times?

I love how everyone thought Rayban Wayferers (sp?) were fug until they came back in style last summer, and now everyone is wearing them. The same people who swore they'd never be caught dead wearing those sunglasses are now sporting them cause they're "hip" and "trendy".
I needed to get that out of my system.

From what I've seen of your FOTDs, you have the shape to pull em off

I was knee deep in soccer moms today. I wanted to cry. >.<


Another trend I want to see die a fiery death on pavement after skidding miles and miles and just...go away?
FLAT BRIMMED HATS. Curve your shit people. Take the damned sticker off too.

 

[sharkbytes]

Oh god flat brimmed hats. I've noticed that kids always curve their hats correctly, lol. It seems to be (at least around here) the older men who keep it stiff and straight and it looks ridic.

 

[Shimmer]

Yeah not around here.
HERE the underagers tend to keep theirs flat with the sticker on and even maybe the effing tag.
I'll tell customers to fix their hat or take the thing off, mainly because I don't want to look at it.

A lot of the kids who come to the mall I work in often have their hats "styled" that way, with the tag included! I make them take it off if the tag is still attached and tell them to keep the receipt in their wallet, from when they purchased the hat, that way no one thinks they've stolen it! I just enjoy embarrassing them, lol.

I hate Crocs!

I love the edgey/retro style that is starting to become popular again... But thats how I dress, I also love Faux Hawks that have been tied some wierd color

In Philadelphia, for the past couple years, it's common for teens/young 20s to wear slip-on sandals (preferably Jordans) with socks! I have a friend who wears nothing but black Jordan sandals and black socks..my eyes burn. I just cannot bring myself to even try it, let along look for too long!! I'd rather walk the streets barefoot (well, almost..) than do this. It just..I can't even put it into words. Worst case scenario:

Ed Hardy hat
Ed Hardy hoodie
beater/undershirt
leggings as pants OR he-capris
black or white socks
black Jordans
fake Gucci sunglasses

..my head wants to explode when I see this, and believe me, it seems to be daily!

Never understood this one. I keep the MLB holographic logo on, but it's under the bill, and I bend my hats. I just don't get this, I think it looks hysterical. People who wear them this way around my neighborhood often look at me in my worn-in hats like I have 5 heads.

Hahaha my brother does the sticker on hat thing. The other day I was shopping with him and my mom and he bought a hat and put it on to wear home... tag and sticker attached. So my mom reached over and yanked the tag off of it, and my brother started freaking out about how she ruined his hat! Me and my mom thought this was hysterical... now whenever my bro leaves the house my mom always tells him to make sure the tags are off his clothes. I dont understand it? Is it to show people how much it costs or something? Weird.....

Im not a huge fan of the Ed Hardy thing either... especially the sparkly boys shirts. Every guy around here wears a Ed Hardy shirt with rhinestones all over it and dark denim True Religions with the white stitching.. I love TR's but the white stitched ones are YUCK! I prefer a preppy look on guys! Some of the girls wifebeaters and tees with the tattoo thing is cute... but I would never pay $200 for a tshirt!

 

[pageuppagedown]

Crocs I don't care if they are comfortable they are fugly. Oh and I hate big smock tops and dresses that look like maternity wear. yuuck

When you look neat and pulled together, it seems to me to send the message, "I consider myself worth a little effort." I'm all for comfort, but there are limits.

LOL now you've got me rolling.. . and then I was like "hey-aah" when your post sunk in!!

I guess I need to clarify... when I say "sloppy sweats dressing" I meant, well, like my matching Bebe workout outfit.

Which will probably get me flamed for wearing a matching Bebe workout outfit. With pink in it... and likely some sparkly bits or *gasp* a really small inconspicuous logo somewhere.

That and my Uggs--well, yes, they were a "light" sand color when I bought them-- they aren't nasty, just darker in color and there's a small puncture hole in the top where my dog, as a puppy, bit them. But that's it. I swear. And I love them.

*now sulking in flame-resistant undies and my uggs in the corner* LOL

There's something upsetting about the faux hawk. It's like "Hey, I want to be punk rock too, I just don't want to lose my job at Denny's!"

Weak sauce.

 

[nibjet]

lately girls have been coming in my work with all their hair piled up on the very top of their head, like right behind where your bangs would start, in one of those top knot things. That is not attractive, it looks wonky!

oh! found a pic.

 

[j_absinthe]

While we're on the subject of hair, what the hell is up with you broads who think coming outside your house with hair that looks wet but feels like straw is any type of cute?

Ever since living in my neighborhood, predominately Puerto Rican, my sister has grown this fondness for this atrocious looking/feeling Chola hair. It'd be one thing if she didn't have good hair or didn't know how to do hair, but she's gifted with both qualities.

 

[shea_47]

wearing lululemon stretchy (yoga?) pants to everywhere other than the gym. if your butt is outta shape or you have cellulite, you can see it through those things. ughh *shudders*
