Following Fashion Trends

I don't know if I was famous for wearing sweat pants and cheap [free] t-shirts with some boots or flip flops. I should have been because it is what I wore every day. All that and a nice purse and a pair of aviators. Ridiculous? Very much so.

Nevertheless, let me be very clear that when it comes to college campuses, people kill fashion trends.

Skinny jeans, Ugg boots, Longchamp purses, etc. were literally victims of fashion atrocities. Skinny jeans are meant for skinny people. Leave them alone if you are over a BMI of 26 (23)! LEAVE THEM ALONE! Though college boys appreciate bare midrrifs with girls who have a BMI of 18-19, the higher BMI midriffs are unappreciated.

OK, I'm sorry. Anyways, fashion trends usually come about 2-4 seasons late in college campuses, except those in New York (which may come 1-2 seasons late, depending on the applicability of fashion/season). Juicy Couture, especially on the West Coast, is always acceptable (though I cannot possibly fathom as to WHY).

• If you are fashion conscious, please know that your oversized poofy brooches or belts around your blazers will go unappreciated until you get sick of seeing them next year, when they will be all the rage. If you feel free to spend that much money, make all the clueless girls "jealous" (what I mean to say actually is they will have no idea why you are doing it thus and possibly ridicule you). You may feel that you have the last laugh though. Perhaps this feeling satisifies you.
  
• If you want to go Greek, please, by all means, support your sorority sisters and follow the fashion trends that they do. Wear those sweatshirts and rah rah rah. Matching bags, polka dot totebags or those Vera Bradley atrocities all fit here.
• Needless to say, if you are not keen on spending lots of money to stay ahead of your college peers' trends, then admire the fashion from afar. Have your own style of fashion.
• If you don't care about what you're wearing, be awesome and wear Cookie Monster t-shirts and sweatpants like I did. College is the only time that you can wear these every day (unless you have the best job ever somehow or don't need to work after college). When you actually dress up, you get more compliments this way. ^.^

Remember, denim may be the ridiculously popular among farmers/cowboys, but try to add a little bit more color or a defining aspect about your style, whichever you choose.

I don't hate on girls who dress up and wear high heels to school every day, but I did question their common sense. Then again, they're the ones who get the boyfriends, and I end up lonely.

MEH!

As my friend Blake always says when he sees girls sitting down, "It's time for your shirt to meet your pants."
