5 Fashion Trends I Don't Understand

1. Cold Shoulder Tops


This fashion trend completely eludes me. Why would you want to cut out the material around your shoulders? Are they so much hotter than the rest of you? Honestly, what is the point of having a tank-top strap over your shoulders then a cut out and then the continuation of a sleeve? I especially don’t understand why this trend is seen on long-sleeved clothing. If you’re going to be dressed in cold-weather clothing; commit to the look. I’ve never been in a scenario where my shoulders are the least cold part of my body. There is also a short-sleeved option, which I’m guessing is for warmer weather. So, enjoy your weird looking tan lines for the summer. Does anyone else understand my confusion with this trend?

2. Super low rise jeans


WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA? Honestly, it is hard enough to buy ‘regular-rise’ jeans that don’t make you worried your ass is going to fall out whenever you sit down (#camisolesforthewin). Personally, I buy high-rise jeans, which aren’t as much ‘high rise’ as they are just jeans that sit at your waist, cover your butt, and don’t have that weird kangaroo-pouch style gap in the back. I feel as though super low rise jeans are just made for women who have no butt and don’t do activities such as sitting or reaching for anything up high or down low.

3. Bell sleeves

Why is this shape of sleeve even allowed to exist? What is the point of sleeves that can be compared to ‘fit and flare’ clothes? Are you Popeye? Do enough people have inordinately large forearms that this had to become a mass-produced style?

4. Shorts designed not to fit your ass

Is under-butt the new side boob? (I can’t believe I just typed that sentence). The POINT of clothing is to COVER YOUR BODY. Honestly how is this flattering?? Covering 75% of your butt will not do the trick. Sitting down anywhere would be disgusting. Like imagine sitting on a bench and now 60% of your ass is hanging out and touching this public place to sit. Gross. Ick. You’re going to get a skin infection and no one will feel bad for you.

5. Jeans with more rips than fabric

As I previously stated, clothing is used to cover one’s body. If your jeans are 30% material and 70% rips and shreds; you’re doing it wrong. Before this year, I had never purchased a pair of jeans with rips in my life. (The one pair I bought was a Tomgirl Café Denim-X style jean from American Eagle and they are amazing go buy some)

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
