11 trends 20-Something Girls Will Still Rock Despite A Guy's Opinion
Instagram

Look, folks. It's 2018. I've been listening to people tell me what articles of clothing girls should and should not wear for at least three years, and it's exhausting! Newsflash, folks: girls don't care what people trends guys hate.

1. Red lipstick.

The number of guys I've heard complain about red lipstick being unattractive and messy is absurd. You don't have to worry about it! My red lips will be going nowhere near you.

2. Coffin nails.

I'm gonna be real with you: a majority of the time, my rebuttal to "I don't like this trend!" can be boiled down to "I'm not getting anywhere near you with my coffin nails/red lips/etc., so your opinion doesn't matter."

3. High-waisted jeans/shorts.

Guys aren't the only ones guilty of bashing this trend; I've been told by even my own mother (et tu, Brute?) that my high-waisted skinny jeans make my but look long and flat.

4. Chacos.

I've heard every argument for and against Chacos, and all that matters to me is the fact that they're comfortable.

5. Baggy shirts and Nike shorts.

This is another issue of comfort over fashion, really.

6. Dark eye makeup.

Just because some of y'all don't have the precision and control to master smokey eyes doesn't mean that the rest of us can't rock them.

7. Oversized sunglasses.

Can... Can girls not block out the sun, too? Are sunglasses now exclusive to guys?

8. Sneakers.

Some of my research has shown that guys... don't like when girls wear sneakers. I honestly don't even have anything snarky to say to that.

9. High heels.

Seriously, can girls win at all?

10. Birkenstocks.

Come on - let us have our hippie sandals. Please.

11. Clothes in general, I guess.

I think I figured it out! Guys are genuinely concerned for our comfort, and they just want us to wear footie pajamas all the time. That's it, obviously. Ditch uncomfortable jeans and shoes for cozy PJ's. It's what the men really want.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
