10 Fashion Trends That Have Fueled The Low-Maintenance Lifestyle
Harper's Bizaar

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.

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.
