Fashion is hard.
I’m serious, bear with me here. I know that I’m a female and am supposed to have been born with some magical gene that allows me to create adorable ensembles and look somewhat presentable all the time but, unfortunately, mine must have a defect. Matching clothes and finding outfits that are perfect for each occasion honestly gives me a headache, and nine times out of 10 I’ll opt for sneakers, a t-shirt, and bottoms that have a great deal of stretch to them.
I truly admire people, both male and female, who find the energy to look fashionable constantly. I often wish that it would come easy to me, but if I'm being honest, when it comes down to it, I deeply, truly do not care about what I'm putting on my body. I just want getting dressed to be quick, comfortable, and to take as little brain power as possible. That brings me to the styles of the early 2000s. It was an era of, from what I can remember and tell from photographs, people literally not giving a flying fish about what they wore. Red carpets were filled with dresses over jeans, entire denim outfits, and a boat load of fur, so I can only imagine what us regular people were clothing ourselves in. It seemed as though you could throw on whatever random items were lying on your bedroom floor and call it fashion. So here are the reasons we should get back to that:
1. With minimal clothing comes minimal time and effort! Paris was really ahead of her time here, and that thong strap? Both functional AND a great accessory!
2. Bad hair day? Two words, honey. Trucker. Hat.
3. Matching is so much easier when you have your significant other to help you out! It's no surprise that the Beckhams know all about teamwork.
4. Wow. I feel comfy just looking at the oversized sweatshirt. Or rain jacket? Whatever it is, it's function and fashion at its finest. Bonus points for those killer hoops, JT.
5. Where do I begin with this one? Feel like wearing jeans but want to show off your new dress? GIRL, just wear both! The people will love it!
6. A shirt with a message. Paris was worried about the real issues, people. Gosh, what a gem.
7. Honestly, if you're not wearing flare jeans, a fat belt, and a choker, you're doing it wrong. Has Hilary ever failed us? Also, if you don't have a logos protecting your head you MUST be a peasant.
8. For the young, business professional: cut down your morning routine by simply throwing a tie around your neck! Strut the office in style.
9. Comfortable, colorful, AND they make your butt look great. It's no surprise these babies are about to make a comeback.
10. Shave minutes off of your beauty routine by simply swiping your eyebrows on in one, quick stroke! Brows on fleek, Drew.
11. Sleep in braids. Wake up with gorgeous locks. Yeah, they sell tools to crimp, but why waste your money? Saving time and dollars!
12. Speaks for itself.
