Someone asked me today what is currently the most annoying fashion trend?
To that I must answer....what IS a fashion trend these days? I mean, it seems like everything is just a regurgitation of things from the past. Nothing new under the sun. I saw a picture of Victoria Beckham with shoulder pads. Shoulder pads???? Augh, they looked pretty good on Mildred Pierce…..but Victoria Beckham is no Joan Crawford. She looked like a twig with two dead gerbils stuck to her shoulders. Not the best of looks. But, it was TRENDY.
Fashion trends are one of those unfortunate necessities in life to promote bad taste in the name of commerce. Everybody wants something new, even if it looks like crap. And maybe that’s true of other things in our lives, like relationships. When we start looking for the latest trend, we wind up not only looking like crap, but treating people in kind.
Sometimes you just have to put on a white t-shirt and some blue jeans, and appreciate the simplicity of life. Too much trendy can make you windy.
