With the school year knocking at our doors and fall right around corner, the leaves are changing just as fast as a few trends. Ladies, it is time to step it up, clean out that closet, and dump out that makeup bag. From cherry lipstick to sheepskin Ugg boots, it's time to clean up your act. Here are a couple trends you want to leave behind to start your year (and rest of your life) off on the right foot.
1. Monograms
I'm sorry, but did you forget your initials? Such that you needed them stitched on your bag as a reminder? I mean if you did, you have a lot of bigger issues. It'd be cute if a 5-year-old were rocking it on the playground. The shirts should say "for 8 and under." (Age 8 being generous).
2. Hair extensions
NO NO NO NO just stop with the hair extensions ladies for two reasons. One, because they only look good if you curl your hair, and two because you poor boyfriend is getting mixed emotions on whether his girlfriend has long or short hair each time he takes you out. Just stop. I had those things like in eighth grade, which was about six years ago. I left them back in 2009.
3. Ugg boots
Look I understand if you're running to the grocery store, or to class, but please do not go out in those chestnut sheepskin looking things. They used to be a hit about three to four years ago, you were only cool if you had the medium length chestnut boot, but you really out did yourself if you came in strutting the black ones. Improvise and be chic, ladies.
4. North Face
Okay listen, living in Chicago, I live in my North Face burka, but that's pretty much it. Step up to Patagonia, or Lululemon, or Colombia, but it's going south for North Face. Understandable if you have to work it sometimes, but all I'm saying is move over to a better trend.
5. Michael Kors
Michael Kors is offically the triangle swimsuits of handbags and watches. Sad but so true its part of the whole "basic white girl" look. They used to be cool till everyone and their mother, grandmother, and aunt decided to buy them. Hi Tory and Marc.
6. Designed fake nails
NO JUST STOP PLEASE STOP with this! Whatever is on your nail it is not nail art. Good luck trying to justify that bird flying on your nail as art. Just get a nice neutral color and keep it classy. Don't get your cities mascot on your nail; a T-shirt will suffice.
So ladies dump out those drawers and start rearranging your closet its time for a new you. Step out looking good and feeling even better knowing your not wearing last year's trend looking like Amanda Byes when you should really be stepping out looking like Kylie Jenner. The cool thing about trends is that you can alter them and make them your own to add originality to them. Mix it up and keep up with the world of fashion we live in.
