Current Fashion Trends I Hate As a Blogger

Posted on June 15, 2017May 28, 20204min read

I don’t like trends. They tend to make everyone look the same. —Carolina Herrera

Let’s cut to the chase. One of the reasons I started this blog was because I was tired of seeing cookie cutter outfits.

I agree with Carolina Herrera. I don’t tend to follow trends. Back in the day, I read blogs because I wanted to see the various personal styles of others.

Now, I just feel like personal style is disappearing.

Today, I wanted to do a fun(ny) post on current trends I can’t stand that everyone else seems to be loving.

OFF-THE-SHOULDER ANYTHING

I mean, how much is too much??? I know, I wore a one shoulder dress in this week’s outfit post, but it’s one shoulder. Not off-the-shoulder. I mean, if you’re wearing so many off-the-shoulders and then wear something normal like a tee, I’d be the kind who has to do a double take like, “Whattt? There are other kinds of clothing besides off-the-shoulder?!”

Trust me, there are other stylish tops besides off-the-shoulder cuts.

CULT GAIA BAG

This bag wasn’t bad. At first. Until I saw them on every. Single. Blogger known to man. And you know what? I only saw one blogger who styled it in a way that made me hate this bag less. ONE. Shout out to you, Amy of Fashion Jackson!

For about $130-$280 a pop for what my best guy friend calls a “Noah’s Ark” bag, I haven’t seen anyone answer a universal question that’s been on my mind and probably on the minds of many, “What can you fit in these bags?” And the ones that are bigger than your body? No. I’ll refrain from posting examples. You can google it. I believe in you.

LEMON PRINT

When life gives you lemons, wear the print? What? Yeah. I’ve been seeing this pop up everywhere and to me, it looks ridiculous. Why this print? I mean, just because you drink lemonade during the hot summer months, doesn’t make it okay for you to wear the fruit just because it’s summer.

Just because lemons are yellow, this print doesn’t make your outfit anymore summery. I mean, wearing all black and hot pink shoes is more summery to me. For some girls, it looks cute (note, I said some), but let me tell you, if you’re in your late 20s, it’s time to put away the lemon, pineapple, and flamingo prints. Of anything.

FURRY GUCCI SLIDES

Also known as the Chewbacca-like Gucci Princetown slippers. Yes, Gucci calls them slippers. You know, those comfy things you wear in the house that look better than these fugly furry things? Yeah. My question is, “Why? Why?!”

Another question, “Why would one pay $1000 minimum to wear such ugly footwear that looks like you stepped on a beloved pet’s shaved fur after a grooming session and forgot to wipe your feet?!”

I’ve seen them on “It Girl” bloggers and they still don’t look good. Is it possible that Crocs are better? This says a lot because I hate crocs.

For fun, I took a poll on my personal Facebook and here are some fashion trends my friends hate:

Male rompers – For someone who owns two rompers and two jumpsuits, let me tell you, it’s easy to get dressed, but awkward when you’re going to the bathroom. Believe it or not, depending on how the guy styles them (with confidence!), this trend doesn’t bother me as much. I just think they’re shorter mechanic suits, ha!

Clip on man buns – my friend Amée got my atttention on the existence of these. Here’s a question: would they be called hair extensions for guys then?

Uggs in the summer – Liberty, I almost didn’t believe you. But then, I remembered my college years when I saw girls wear these with sweatshirts and shorts in the cold. I’ll never understand.

Clear clothing – The only clear clothing that’s acceptable is a raincoat and even then, who still wears them? Can you imagine sweating in clear clothing?

Very high-waisted pants/shorts, crop tops, overly dramatic eyebrows – Just how high do high-waisted pants/shorts go?! No. Nevermind. I don’t want to know. Crop tops? I don’t know how I feel paying for shortened tops. I mean, I really think I can do it myself. With a dryer.

Leggings as jeans – I’m sure the people of Walmart website made this a trend. Maybe. Don’t quote me on this.

Crocs – I don’t care how comfortable these are. No. Just no.

Socks and sandals – Didn’t dads of our day start this one? Makes me wonder if the person wearing this combo is making sure they’re covered in case it’s too hot or too cold or if they couldn’t find their shoes

Super short dresses – My rule is, if you have to tug or pull on your dress, it’s too short. However, if you’re having to hold it down on a windy day, that’s Mother Nature’s fault, not yours. Just sayin’.

The funny thing is, when I posted this fashion-related question, the overall winner was the man bun. Sorry, guys! Now, I have to know…

What are some current fashion trends you hate that you want to go away?!

Please note that I’m a very lighthearted person so this post is meant to be fun and personally opinionated. If you like any of these trends, more power to you! I just implore that you don’t like these trends just because everyone else does. Dress confidently and just be you!

    HahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! Noah’s ark bag ??? I can’t stand that bag either. It was cute when I saw it on one blogger. Now that everyone wearing it, it feels soooooo unoriginal. Like, c’mon guys, you’re supposed to be uncovering, discovering, setting the trends!! I also cannot stand those Gucci slippers. Who in their right mind designed them? Worst part? There are now dupes ALL over the place. They are atrocious.

    Off the shoulder anything? Guilty. ??

    This was a hilarious read and made me laugh at the salon. ????

      It’s true! When he said it, I was dying of laughter because I was like, “THAT’s what it looks like!” LOL! I know, right? Every time I see something on a few bloggers that I have in my shopping cart, I just go and delete it. I want to be original and unique not copying everyone else! THANK. YOU!!! I’m glad you’re with me on the Gucci slippers!!

      You’re off the hook for off the shoulder. I forgive you.

      So glad I could make you laugh, haha! Plenty more where that came from. I’m doing another fun(ny) post soon!

A late Father’s Day post because after 14 years, there’s not much more you can express than:
✨I love you so much.
✨I miss you, ba.
✨I wish you were here.
✨Happy Father’s Day!
✨I love and miss you more than you know.

I spent the weekend honoring my daddy while making memories with my dad number two (my bestie’s dad).

Tom & Jerry was one of my daddy’s favorite cartoons so I watched a few episodes in his memory.

Then I went to dinner with my second dad and bestie and after that, he taught us how to install a ceiling fan.

The crazy part is that I know my daddy would’ve been so proud if he were there with us — he was a huge advocate of formal and informal education.

Don’t worry, dad. You should see all the manly things I know how to do (shingle a roof and change a tire are just a few) and all the books I’ve read, and podcasts I’ve listened to.😆
Happy Father’s Day in Heaven! I love you!🌸

What’s the best business advice you’ve ever been given?

I had one of my weekly mentorship calls last night and wrote down a major gold nugget I wanted to share with you: “If you don’t have returns in your business, it’s not big enough.”

Wow.

When you think about it, Target gets returns all the time and they don’t pout about it. They move on and keep the business up and running.

When someone makes a return, it has nothing to do with your self-worth and who you are.

If you own a business, join me and let this part of being an entrepreneur go so we can focus on growing personally and professionally.

Tell me in the comments below the best business advice you’ve ever been given!👇🏼

I shared my thoughts on this last year and will continue to share until people as a collective understand the true meaning of #MemorialDay.

Coming from a military family, I know very well that Memorial Day is NOT a happy day; it’s why I don’t say “Happy Memorial Day!”

It’s also not about sales, being poolside, grilling, or having an extra “vacation” day. 

It’s about remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice so we can have the freedoms we have today.

To me, it’s also about sending immense gratitude and love to the families who have lost their loved ones because no matter how much time has passed, the void will always be present.

Last year, I shared the story about my grandfather on my mom’s side. This year, I want to share my dad’s story.

When my brother and I were young, my dad took us to a helicopter expo. He worked in aviation and asked us if we wanted to go. We said yes because we wanted to get a glimpse of his passion.

Of course, as kids, we climbed in and out of so many helicopters that day. While standing in one huge helicopter, I looked out and told my dad, “Daddy! Come up here! You have to see this! It’s so cool in here!” to which he yelled up, “It’s okay, honey! I’ll wait for you both right out here!”

I can’t remember if it was later that week or how much time had passed. One day, we’re sitting in the living room watching TV and my dad says out of the blue, “Honey, you know why I didn’t get on the helicopter with you and your brother?”

“No, daddy. I thought it was too crowded for you.”

“I have bad memories from the war.”

I asked him what happened and it turns out he was in a helicopter crash and watched his friends die beside him.

I couldn’t believe it.

And to think he had carried those memories for so long.

Most people may never tell stories like this because it’s too painful. Even though he’s passed for 14 years now, I can’t imagine how many more stories/moments like that died with him that I (my family and the world) will never know.

Families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice and those alive today who witnessed the thin line between life and death are why I believe saying thank you will never be enough.♥️🇺🇸🙏🏼

To my grandma who is halfway across the world, I thank God immensely because it all began with you.

Thank you for encouraging your daughter to come to America to live a better life.

Because of your sacrifices, I get to have my most precious gift and cherish her with every fiber of my being. I love you so much.

Mom, thank you for your courage and bravery to come to America with nothing except a knitted handbag and coat on your back.

Thank you for passing on your wisdom and teaching me about emotional intelligence before EQ even became a thing.

Thank you for teaching me that you’re never too old to learn about anything.

Thank you for always reminding me to not stress or worry.

Thank you for always making sure I have food even when I’m full.

Thank you for making me laugh endlessly.

And mom, don’t think I don’t notice that you put the best pieces of food on my plate instead of yours.

My word, I am so incredibly and abundantly blessed to have a mom like you! 

I love you SO much, mẹ! God, you broke the mold when You made her!

Another year without you. It’s hard to believe you left us 14 years ago.

Sometimes I wonder what our conversations would be like if you were still with us…if you’d already be retired or still be doing what you loved, what you’d think of world events, and if you’d finally come to a place where you could tell us stories from the war.

No matter what, I’m going to keep your memory alive. I love and miss you, daddy!

Happy Easter Weekend, loves!

Spent today reflecting on Christ’s love for us and I’m still in awe that until we meet Him, we still won’t understand the magnitude of His love.

Tonight, I’ll be making my return to the gym after two long years!!!

So happy I got clearance from my chiropractor to lift weights again!

Not going to lie, I’m nervous, but I’m more excited because I’ve missed it so much.

I hate having to start all over again, but to know that I GET to work out is such a huge blessing!

Y’all know I love my @apl, so what better way to celebrate than a new, neutral-colored pair of workout shoes?

Goodbye winter!!! Don’t take it personally…I used to love you.

I just prefer sunny walks, flowers and trees blooming, baby ducks swimming, and birds chirping.

Don’t worry. Unlike Ross and Rachel, I have it on record that we’re officially on a break. 

Not sure if I hate your ice storms more or tornado warnings (like the one we just had just now).😑

How do you take your coffee — iced or hot?

Iced all year round for me.🧊

Oh and whoever invented bean water, thank you. You became a hero the day you threw some beans into hot water and created this magical elixir.
