15 Female Fads That Lost Their Hype

Should we bring some of these back?

15 Female Fads That Lost Their Hype

The 2000's have held such great memories for us all. Since I have been around I have witnessed quite a few fads live up to greatness and then die out. I am pretty certain I participated in the obsession with each and every one of these fads.

1. Distressed Ripped Jeans

Everyone loved a good flare jean, that is until skinny's came in style.


2. Silly Bandz

If you don't remember these, I'm ashamed. Seriously! The packaging says it all. I remember trading people for cooler bands.


3. Hair Feathers

I never really understood this one, but this was seriously THE in thing of its time. That is until schools started banning them, anything to take away individuality.

4. Feather Earrings

5. Marble Nails

Maybe you still do this. This was way too time consuming, but the end product was always fabulous, unless you sucked at it like I did.

6. Potato Shoes

Why did we wear this atrocious things. They weren't even comfortable either, unless they were broken in. Other that that, WHY?

7. Vibrant Peekaboo Streaks

I think all us girls probably wanted a colored streak at some time.

8. Thin Eyebrows

I envy people who have been able to come back from this awful fad. I have had the hardest time getting fuller eyebrows. Now eyebrows are a deal breaker. UGH.

9. Uggs

I'm pretty sure every girl in my Jr. High had a pair of these. Different styles are still popular, but they aren't nearly what they use to be. Plus, knock offs have kind of replaced these overpriced boots.

10. Crimped Hair

Not just any crimped hair either. The fluffy, teased, blowout.


11. Crocs

These were comfortable and even came in all different styles and colors, but now they're just a complete fashion don't.

12. Chunky Streaks

Guilty as charged. I lived for chunked colors in my hair half way into high school. Why did I allow this for so long?

13. Peace Signs

Over using the peace sign in all of your photos was super popular. Then "fierce" took over, hang loose, then the rock on sign. It's a never ending cycle.


14. Sweat Suit Outfits

Sweat suit outfits were really in. The jackets were a must, and the velvet sweat outfits? Don't even get me started. Being that matchy, matchy, though just shouldn't be a thing.

15. Thick Side Bangs

I think many, many of us went through this stage. The big bangs were totally bangin'.

I sit here and seriously wonder why the heck we still don't obsess over some of these, maybe we need to bring some of them back!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
