Fashion Hates: Twilight Clothing

I am not a fan of Twilight, even though I am a 16-year-old female.

Not only am I not a fan... but I am a hater. Aside from the whole immature obsessive teen-romance thing... NEWSFLASH: Vampires = creepy, horrible, perverted.

Which is why this new trend of "Twilight" themed clothing is very, very, yucky to me. I am so tired of going into the juniors' section of JCPenney and seeing shirts with "Forget prince... I'm gonna marry a vampire", "Forbidden fruit tastes the best," an other such revolting messages. Not to mention the countless "Team Edward" and "Team Jacob" shirts.

Wow. Have fun. Bella is a retarded simpleton.

NO. Please. Sparkle?? Not cool.

Of course there are all the pillowcases and shirts and bags and purses with Edward and Jacob on them...but I will not be sharing those with you. 

Edward's face is not allowed on my blog, thank you very much.

Fashion Hates: the misuse of black

Black is nice. Don't get me wrong. I love black dresses, black skirts, black heels, black coats... I've never really been very excited about black tops. But that's just me. I love color.

What bugs me is when black is sorely misused. You know when you look at someone and you're just like "Woah. Too much black." Obviously there are goths and all that, but that's not what I'm talking about. Goths will be goths, and it doesn't seem to me that they are too interested in looking good...

so I'm just not going to talk about them.

I mostly get upset when people have hair that is naturally blond, light brown, or even on the darker side of brown, who dye their hair black. And they were meant to have blond/brown hair! Trust me on this.

Miley Cyrus as an example. I guess she's trying to make her pale face match her hair
better by putting on a lot of black eye makeup.
Not working for me. What is her real hair color anyway? I think it's blond... haven't seen it in awhile though.

Personally, I'm not really into hair-dying at all... but it can be done tastefully, and although I don't think I would ever do it, I like it on some people.

Usually people have a pretty nice skin color/hair color combo that makes them look natural, and when you are lighter haired and you go super-black... you're gonna look washed-out and weird.

Some girls who have darker complexions can go black without it looking unnatural. For instance, my sister Bethany could totally pass for an Indian if she dyed her hair black. But although my skin is also darkish, I have light eyes and so I think I would look a little odd.

Black fingernail polish is one of my pet peeves of all time. It's a big trend right now, though, so sadly, my feelings are unpopular. I think it makes peoples' fingers look like they are rotting. When I have girls I will literally tell them they can't wear black nail polish. Hopefully they don't hate me for it. (I won't let my boys wear black nail polish either, in case you were wondering). 

Any color of fingernail polish is better than black. Even poison green. 

I did that once and it was actually kinda cool.

Fashion Hates: Ankle Boots

I can't stand this trend. 

Ankle boots are everywhere! As if finding cute boots wasn't hard enough, 

what with most of them being super-high-heeled, super-pointy-toed, 

not fitted enough, too fitted, or varying other creative styles of horrific...

Now we have this monstrosity.

Fashion Hates: Shoes

  

Crocs

Everyone says they are comfortable.  I like to quote my friend Ellen. "If your shoes are comfortable, they're not cute enough!"

Besides being cloggish and ugly, they are expensive! That bugs me.

They are okay for gardening, maybe. If you garden alone.

Baby crocs are okay. Especially when they have cute fuzzy stuff in them.

Ugg boots.

I feel like the name would sorta give the hint.

Yuck, yuck. Clunky, bulby, icky.

Depending on what they are worn with. Ocassionally they might look half-okay. But not often.

Gladiator sandals.

A few of them are okay, but overall, I really, really can't stand this trend. And they are SO popular. Gah.

Besides the fact that: Gladiators: big hunky men who killed each other in Roman times. And we went to copy their style because...?

I will be so happy when this fad is over. I'm gonna go hibernate until it's over, okay? Come and wake me up when they are gone.
