I was accepting a appearance moment with my admired stylists/fashionistas while on a arcade appointment to adorn the attending of a style-challenged TV presenter.
We happened on this attractive black fur covering - not a appearance call in Dubai area the temperature hardly drops beneath 20 degrees during the day - but one we all badly coveted.
While abysmal in altercation about the fur coat, it occurred to me that had I apparent this covering a division or two ago, it would accept reminded me of an activated Disney monster and I would accept not looked at it twice.
It's crazy how bound our tastes about-face from one acute to addition and we accept cuts, colors and fabrics that a few seasons beforehand we would've instantly discarded.
And how crazy is it, that as quickly, we account a once-loved trend a non-wearable faux-pas? How we can captivate over a appearance one day (platform sneakers. harem pants. beaming colors) and accede them abominable the next? The accuracy is appearance is fickle, and that, my accompany is the adorableness of it!
Crazy appearance trends are all allotment of alteration times and an "air du temps." It's funny, attractive aback aloof over one year, how our tastes accept changed.
Items we were able of bribery sales agents for, accept absent their bright ambience and begin their abode in the "store and forget" box. 2014 trends are no exception. I accept few on my list. I wore them proudly and alike gave sartorial admonition on how to abrasion them stylishly, but I accept to admit, appear 2015, I'll be the aboriginal to bandy them out.
1) The slides: Prior to the summer of 2014, slides were alone spotted by the pool. After this year, they appeared on catwalks and advance as a accepted advantage for summer footwear. Well, I ambition they'd abandon and never to return!
2) Birkenstocks: Comfortable footwear. But, as far as I am concerned, advised with post-orthopedic-surgery anxiety in mind! Nevertheless, I gave few tips on how to abrasion them...Yeah, yeah, yeah...Nice try. I'm action I'll canal them afore the year ends.
3) Wedge sneakers: whoever came up with this abominable architecture should be banned for life! Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea culpa! I accept I wore a brace and I actively affliction it. Searching agilely through my photo library to annul that base memory...
4) Circumscribed tops: Popular in the mid '80s; they were aback in 2014. I appropriate a affluence of tips to authoritative these circumscribed acme wearable in a stylish, appropriate way. I ambition this trend would achromatize as bound at it reemerged...
5) Mom Jeans: This trend is additionally allotment of the 1990s nostalgia. The new mom jeans is a amalgam of the accustomed high-waisted angular and our admired admirer jeans. But let's be clear: They are absolutely unflattering! Those jeans won't necessarily accompany out the best in your body. But me, actuality magnanimous and all, appropriate how to abrasion them the best you could. But, let's face it, whatever you do with them they're still ugly!
6) Culottes: Remember the extra Ali MacGraw, she of the '70s Adulation Story fame? Do not carbon her look, I repeat, do not carbon her look, or alike attack addition one. I ambition we could balloon about the culottes and accord them aback to the boys...
7) Dungarees: Once beat by farmers and branch workers and after by the Seattle-inspired grunge crowds, I anticipate they care to abide there. I was so agog about this account a few months ago, that I appropriate means to dress them up. Blazer, stilettos. Whatever! Dungarees should not accept a abode in a grownup's closet.
8) Mules: Those throwbacks to the '90s came aback shyly. Thank God they weren't accompanied by the bodycon dress. In adjustment to abstain a above optical disaster, I ambition for 2015 to accelerate them aback with no future.
9) Statement necklaces. Don't get me wrong. I adulation them. I aggregate them, but no charge to advertise them day in, day out. Cannot booty it anymore. I'm on a border of a chaplet breakdown.
10) T-shirts with a message. C'mon guys! We're overdosing here! They were fun for some time, but abundant is enough. I cannot apprehend statements on people's torsos anymore. Walking statements accomplish me feel nauseous.
Oh, I accept a acceptable one for this end of year: "Let's alpha fresh!"
