Trends

Have you ever said, "Ugh... I will never be seen wearing that!" when a new trend comes out but several weeks later find yourself either desperately wanting that very style or actually wearing it?? I find myself doing that all the time. Here are a few examples:

1. Gauchos - Hated them when they first came out, bought a pair before last summer, love them.
2. Sweats with "Dal" on the bum - Okay, not exactly a trend, but definitely used to hate them and definitely now own them, love them, wear them with pride!
3. Skinny jeans - First thought: "Yuck!" Now: Kind of want some... Hey... they look great with boots and ballet flats!
4. Side bangs - Thought they'd be annoying... definitely have 'em and love 'em now.
5. Knee-length shorts (aka. Bermudas) - Too HCA-esque for me! Or not....

However, there are a few that I managed to not succomb to! Some of these are UGGS (or other ginormous furry boots), the gigantic "Tarana bump" with the hair (sorry to all my TO readers... but I think those are the girls that brought this look to Hali), leggings, and big strings of beads.

But seriously... what is it about trends that make us at first think "Ew!" and then go "Yum!"?? I don't get it... Actually, I do... but it's only because I've taken marketing. I still don't get why I follow that mindset even though I know the tactic behind it!
