Top ten tuesday … fashions i just don’t understand
Ok, so several of these I even participated in at one time or another but that still doesn’t mean I understand them!! And I will provide the disclaimer that I’m not that trendy, not that fashionable & am in desperate need of some help from “What Not To Wear”, but still …
1. Make-Up on Men – Mascara! Nailpolish! Eyeliner! I mean maybe, MAYBE, if you’re a rock star. But even then, you need to really BE a rockstar, not a wanna be rockstar!
2. Skinnny Jeans – do they look good on anyone?! And if you have to buy your skinny jeans in anything other than a size 2 then you don’t need skinny jeans!!! Now my sister would claim that you do need skinny jeans for certain boots … that makes a little sense to me. But otherwise, I think most people should just stay away from them!!
3. Skinny Jeans on Men – enough said.
4. Tank Tops with Scarves – this is actually the one that made me think of this Top Ten List. A mother dropping off her son at preschool had this on this morning. Is this in style? Shouldn’t you just go for one or the other??
5. Ugg Boots & Dresses - similiar to the aforementioned tank & scarf … isn’t this a total contrast of seasons! Maybe it’s appropriate right now since it’s Spring but feels like 30 degrees in the mornings. A lady was wearing this combo at church yesterday … I don’t get it!
6. Tight Rolled Pants - yes, I participated in this during middle school, maybe elementary … I’m not exactly remembering correctly. I know it was around for a little while. I’m sure it will come back in time for Megan or Evan to join in the fad!
7. Tight Rolled Shirt Sleeves - as if the pants weren’t enough!
8. Big Shirts – Did you remember wearing T-shirts 3 sizes too big for you?? I unfortunately do!
9. Shana Sands’ Shoes (note: this was NOT a halloween outfit!)
10. Help me out – what fashion trends do you just not get?

I have to agree with all those trends, I just don’t get it. If I’m not mistaken for awhile weren’t people wearing skirts over their pants??

I once saw a man that had his fishnet underpants showing (he was wearing low riding jeans). Where does someone even find fishnet underpants? Please no one answer that because I don’t really want to know. I’m still freaked out by it.

I agree with your entire list. #2 really cracked me up!

Tight rolling. EW. I heard someone was tight rolling again—Katie Holmes maybe? Ew.
Anyway, my least favorite trend now are those big long flowy dresses—not sure what they are called. Old Navy has a ton. But they look so comfy and like they’d hide any figure flaws. Alas, not the case.

LOL, tight rolling your pants.. I did that, in middle & highschool. And I’ll embarrassingly admit that I did it to my 7 yr old’s pants the other day! hahaha!

Well, this list just shows the difference between us!! I have to say that I like #2 (with the boots that you mentioned and I as I was playing around with them, I found out that I like them folded up like long capris with flops. so cute!!) I also like #4 and #5. I can’t really pull them off, but I like them.
I agree on the other stuff though :)

Good ones!!! I don’t get any fashion trend that looks UNCOMFORTABLE, like mini-mini skirts with those tight boots that come up to the thigh. WHY would you want to wear that? Just thinking of it makes my legs sweat! :)

I’m with you on the skinny jeans for sure – although I do have one friend that looks good in them. I think she weighs five pounds though.
Things I don’t get:
crocs – crocs are for kids.
long sleeved tops where just the shoulders are cut out.
