The following is a list of 7 fashion trends that I have yet to understand. By no means am I a fashion expert, so if you love one of these styles, I hope you proudly rock it. I am just showcasing some trends that have ultimately made me ask, "But, why?"


1. "Popcorn" Shirts

I just have one question... Why?

Don't get me wrong, I totally bought a shirt like this for my Build-A-Bear but the fact that grown women wore this is beyond me. The material, the look, the concept... This is surely a fashion trend that I am glad has gone extinct.

2. Platform Sneakers

What is happening here?

Maybe I am skeptical because I know for a fact I would break my ankle, but why would you choose this out of all the sneakers available? Also, what kind of pants do you wear with these? I am left with so many questions. I still see these platform style sneakers today, but I just cannot get myself on board.

3. Poof

Yes, I have to call out the poof.

I am guilty of rocking this look my freshman year of high school. The poof was very popular, but come on people, why did we tease our bangs so high? The signature look of cheerleaders and teenage girls everywhere has fortunately taken a back seat, but I wouldn't be surprised if we continue to see it pop up for years to come.

4. Fake Tan

AHHHHHHH!

Okay, this is extreme, but this man is not the first to get a bad fake tan. This just proves that sometimes in our search for beauty we lose our way. Fake tan is a great way to quickly get that bronze glow for an event, but I would rather be as white as snow than be mistaken for Willy Wonka's side kick.

5. Botox

OMG, OMG, OMG..

Is anyone else scared? I understand wanting to look young and refreshed for as long as possible, but more times than not Botox botches faces even in the slightest. Theres just so much stiffness to the look and the youthfulness that was trying to be captured just isn't there. Please, Cameron Diaz, slow down.

6. Pierced Nails

You have got to be kidding me.

Now, the photograph is of Kim Kardashian's recent manicure, but these are a real thing people! How do you type on your phone or the computer? How do you shampoo your hair in the shower? Dare I say it... How do you wipe? I am not sure why this is becoming popular but I don't get the hype.

7. SUPER Ripped Jeans

Jeans?...Shorts?...

I will be honest with you, I am a fan of ripped jeans. There I said it. But why on Earth would you want your entire thigh and knee exposed? Aren't these essentially just shorts and denim leg warmers? I was hesitant to put this one, just because they are very "in" right now, but regardless they have found a spot on my list.

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.

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.

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.
