please say bye to these trends !

I need to vent.

I have been bottling in all of my feelings

for certain trends that have became a "thing" this year.

if everyone would work as one , we could 

stop embracing these icky new fashion trends

& the world would be a much classier place. 

case in point :

neon & crop tops -

I know electric music is "cool" this year but 

looking like a glow stick rarely makes you look cool . 

same goes for the hippie crop top look - that mixed 

with neon is even worse. gah! enough!

high / low hems -

okay I admit I thought about buying a high / low

hemmed dress - so happy I didn't ! blink & you will miss this trend .

wedge sneakers -

unless they are in fact isabel marant , just no . 

peplum -

yes it is possible to look cute in a peplum top ,

but it is just way over done . when I first saw a 

j crew collection peplum top in olive green jaquard ,

I died . now the style is all over , and my

love of the peplum died too . 

please ladies , learn to see a trend ahead of time 

before you succumb to the silliness too .

ask yourself this question :

will I wear _____ (insert fashion fad) in 10 years?

most likely , no . this is my mantra I have 

tried to stick to after seeing one too many facebook 

pictures of myself that make me cringe- why sarah?? 

trends that will always be classy:

black - 

yes I am the person that after living in nyc 

converts their whole wardrobe to this one color .

it will always be classic .

stripes -

nautical or not , a striped tee will always be cute .

chambray -

a worn in chambray pull over or button down is a staple -

but beware of the new dip dyed , acid washed , etc trends -

only cool if they were once actually your dads .

another tip:  think of looking back at yourself in pictures -

would you be embarrassed of wearing a neon 

crop top tee shirt with a high/low hem chiffon skirt ?

um, I would .
