10 Of The Most Laughable Fashion Trends Of The Early 2000's

Don't get me wrong, the early 2000's were a great time for music and movies. I wish I could say the same for fashion trends though. Looking back on how some of my favorite celebrities and I used to dress, I have to ask myself, "WHY DID WE EVER THINK THAT WAS OK?!" We may have thought we were cool then, but it's hilarious to see how ridiculous these styles and trends are now.

1. Streaky highlights.

NSYNC was notorious for their crazy hairstyles and infamous blonde and red highlights. How us girls found this attractive is still a mystery to me.

2. Layering our tank tops.

If you were cool in middle school or high school, you were definitely guilty of this ridiculous trend. I'm not sure who started this trend or when. All I know is that layering my favorite Abercrombie & Fitch tank tops was one of my favorite past times.

3. Wearing dresses over flared jeans.

This trend was the definition of glamour in the early 2000's. Every famous celebrity rocked this trend on the red carpet during movie premieres, award shows, and more.

4. Gauchos.

One of my favorite trends of the early 2000's were gauchos, the breezy, comfortable, yet stylish pants that you could dress up or down. Don't lie. You know you had a pair in black and brown.

5. Rhinestones, rhinestones, and MORE rhinestones.


Everything from head to toe was bedazzled and covered in sparkles. I guess we really liked glitter in the early 2000's.

6. Ponchos.

The perfect touch to any outfit was a pink and sparkly poncho. Hilary Duff rocked this trend along with most of the others in this list. Thanks Hilary for your excellent fashion sense.

7. Jean Skirts.

Jean skirts or skorts (eww) with a cute tank top were the perfect summer outfit back in the early 2000's.

8. Asymmetrical jersey skirts.

Because symmetrical skirts were just too conservative.

9. Shrugs.

The half sweater look was too cute back then. The perfect accessory to any dress or formal outfit.

10. All denim everything.

Need I say more?

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
