As we approach 2008, would it be too much to ask if 2007 takes with it the stupid fashion trends that should’ve never been thought of in the first place when it says it’s Goodbye? Tried as they might, they just didn’t work and whomever tried to make it fetching just looked like a lost fashionista trying to fit in with the group of screw-ups out there in Hollywood. I’m the first to agree that Fashion and Style is a fashionista’s personal interpretation but c’mon, some of the trends that came out and are still out from the previous years seriously need to bid us Adieu and just leave us alone. It’s time to go. Please join me in this oh-so-painful journey. Parting is such sweet sorrow……..
1. LEGGINGS(footless, mid-calf) — Unless you’re rehearsing a dance number in a dance studio, for the love of God, please just go bare.
2. UGGS — Unless you’re in a ski mountain trying to warm your footsies after skiing, or you’re a surfer in Australia, or in a Winter Wonderland part of the world, please burn the damn things. If your’re going to wear it with a beater shirt, mini-skirt and a skinny scarf, please do us all a favor and just stay home.
3. Overalls(shortalls) — You’re not a baby. You’re not painting. You’re not working in your garden either. You’re a sophisticated woman out and about running errands. Try to look like one.
4. High-Waisted Jeans/Pants — Grandma doesn’t even wear it anymore, you shouldn’t either. Calling Jessica Simpson and Mischa Barton.
5. Sienna Miller — Honey, Kate Moss called. She’s pissed off, royally. She wants her identity back.
6. Beyonce Knowles wearing everything but the kitchen sink. Enough Said!
7. Cowboy Boots — Unless you’re a freaking cowboy on a freaking Rodeo, give it up. Save yourself.
8. Britney Spears Fugly Wigs. I bet underneath all the different ugly wigs she’s wearing is a very beautiful bob hairstyle just waiting to be owned and be proud of. Seriously.
9. Hollywood IT Girls driving drunk, doing drugs, and going to rehab. It’s time to grow up and realize that not everyone in your friend’s list wants the best for you. And that if you screw-up one more time it will be the end of your career. And then what? It’s not like you have a high-school diploma to show for anyway. So be grateful for what you have and work what your Mama gave you.
10. Smoking — Errrr? Believe it or not, some women think having a cigarette in her mouth is chic and fashionable. It’s time to quit. For your health and for people around you. Wouldn’t you want to wake up one morning being able to REALLY smell the roses? Or not smelling like an ashtray? Think about all the money you’re going to save. That’s money for gas AND shopping. See how that works? 
Now Bonvoyage. It was good -not really- while it lasted. Baboosh!
Dex, #9’s such a huge thing this year, eh? Made so much headlines. Bad example for the youth, and really disappointing.
Yup Exactly. A trend among those spoiled brats that need to go away. Or hire a driver or something.
I hope the industry looks at them as liabilities so as to stop the cycle of enabling.
Go Uggs! (LOL)
Happy New Year Dexie!
One can only hope but Hollywood is all about exploiting for gaining money. Happy New Year to you too
Seriously, smoking is so not cool anymore, why do people still start? >_>
I think it’s funny how much you don’t like Sienna.
I still see high waisted jeans every once in a while. Some people look ok in them.
I despise cowboy boots!
Overalls are horrible!
I do not like HIgh wasted jeans they’re so mom jeans(snl skit). I do think they help stop the thong show that the low risers tend to cause.
Wigs are okay if you are sick. I would never say they’re bad in that case. also if they are real hair then maybe its okay. But still if you have nice hair grow it out to a bob length and show it off.
only the tourists in nashville wear cowboy boots and hats
cowboy boots belong with other halloween costumes
i make a point to be kind to women in wigs…because you never know the pain that they may be hiding
best fashion advice…be true to your real self…don’t try to be younger…you will look silly
if you wear what you like, then you will be happy with your outfit
And for goodness sakes if you insist on doing the leggings and cowboy boots please don’t do them together….sheesh
smoking most definitely… paying for a tan also.. It just ends up making people age way too quickly.
I’ve got 5 pairs of leggings.
There are so many dont’s …yet so many celebs not going with it.
Not sure if mom jeans are back in style, but saw a couple ladies wearing them.
Goodbye indeed to these trends
I have leggings to keep me warm on the winter months. I can’t part with them, I’d rather be warm than fashionable cold chick.
thank goodness i’ve never been into uggs, high-waisted pants, drugs, smoking, and wigs
cowboy boots tuck them in who know once in a while you’ll chance on a cowboy bar, you’ll have the boots for square dancing
i just find overall tedious, it’s ugly and tedious
High waisted pants look ridiculous on all!
Boy Dexie really dislikes Sienna Miller’s look. It’s so funny!
Overalls seem so farm like to me
I dont get the one about Beyonce
Smoking how is that even a fashion trend. Most people started because of per pressure to fit in what not and got hooked on the nicotine.
Good bye Stupid trends
I have to agree with on most of them .
I don’t have cowboy boots.
But, I think they could be cute.
i agree dexie, it seems every young starlet parties too much then hits rehab but comes out and does it again
Smoking is a bad habit-glad I never started!
uggs are almost as bad as smoking!
overalls only look good on southern grandpas!
My grandfather wore Osh Kosh overalls the majority of his life!
good riddance
hate uggs
High waisted pants were the pre-curser of the camel toe-Women were always tugging them up even higher-hence the phenomenon began.
Also unless your tummy is flat as a washboard you end up with something called “butt belly”
Your behind will actually appear flat and you will curve out in front.
hate hate hate overalls they are the worst thing on this planet! but i actually LIKE uggs. and high waisted pants are the last thing i would wear( only for unusual cute marc jacobs runway outfits.) <-(things people never wear on the street)
