10 Fashion Trends That Have Fueled The Low-Maintenance Lifestyle

Lazy became trendy sometime in the last few years and our latest fashion trends are there to prove it. Whether it be lazy Sunday morning brunches or our obvious increase in loungewear purchases, we’ve collectively decided that the lazy life is a much more enjoyable one.

Despite the many issues with this decision (that we’ll decide to ignore for the sake of this article), I’m not complaining about these trends and not too many others are either. If the hip and cool “I don’t care” look is going to give me that extra fifteen minutes of sleep in the morning, I’m down.

1. Baseball Hats

This accessory, which at one point was the epitome of laziness and bad hair days, has become a trend we've all used to our advantage at least once. On mornings where you sleep in a little too late and don't have time to wash your hair, just pop on one of these bad boys and continue on your way.

2. High Waisted Pants and Skirts


Why take the time and energy to hit the gym when you can cover up that extra little pudge with a pair of high-waisted anythings? I recommend the loose, mom-style jeans, which leave enough room to comfortably complete your daily tasks.

3. Turtlenecks and Large Sweaters


Wear it to bed the night before, go braless, whatever you want. The oversized turtleneck makes it look like you put in some effort when you actually just threw it on while walking out the door.

4. "Ugly" Dad Clothes


Who knew that your dad's socks and sandals would make a comeback? Not only his signature choice of footwear, but the button up shirts, the khaki pants, the fanny packs... at least they provide an easy back-up when your closet looks too dull.

5. Thrifting/Vintage Items


Though "vintage" may have an intimidating, expensive connotation, your mom's abstract sweater from the 80's could officiate your vintage look. Easy Peasy.

6. Cute Athletic Gear


Just when we didn't think it could get any better, leggings became cool. Not only can you walk around in the closest thing to no pants as possible, you can also wear gems like oversized t-shirts, sweatshirts, and windbreakers to complete the look.

7. Ripped Jeans and/or Mom Jeans


They're basically sweatpants, but they look cooler. That's all.

8. Messy, Chopped Hairstyles


Ditch your strict hair washing schedule and expensive treatments or masks. The textured, messy bob is in, meaning you barely have to wash, brush, or maintain your new chopped do.

9. Oversized Shirts as Dresses


Another instance that gives you the option of sleeping in tomorrow's outfit. A look without pants always trumps a look with pants.

10. Glasses

There was a time when we wouldn't be caught dead with glasses on, but the circular-rimmed or clear-rimmed frames have made the term "four-eyes" a little cooler. This trend eliminates contact-related eye irritation and could cut your morning routine down by a few minutes.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
