To Keep Or Not To Keep????
Every year we get a second chance to make a name for our
generation. Therefore, with 2013 only a few days away, it is time to clarify a
few things I think (and I hope you do too) should be left in 2012. Like..
1.
“YOLO”
this is French for I don’t have a game plan. Just kidding, as if you did not
already know it stands for You Only Live Once. I mean let’s get real. Prior to
this trending confirmation that we only have once life, did anyone really think
we lived twice? This is precisely the reason the rest of the world thinks
Americans have lost their marbles.
2.
Teen Moms:
In the abridged words of Smokey the Bear “Only you can prevent the continuation
of this train wreck.” If this you had not already considered this yourself, the
final straw should have been when Jenelle Evans picked a Ke$ha concert over
staying out of jail. As law school has taught me… res ipsa loquitur “the thing speaks for itself.” And in this case the thing speaks for
stupidity.
3.
Crocs:
I know this may hurt some feelings, but it is time to say farewell. Okay, okay,
so maybe they are comfortable, but at what cost? It does not matter how many
new and improved versions of crocs are released they are still ugly. I would be
a little less harsh (maybe) if their were no other options for comfort, but
there are plenty. So as the saying goes “You can fix stupid, but you can’t fix
ugly…..” so let this trend die.
4.
Leggings
as pants: You cannot spell pants with leggings. I do not care if you are a
size 2 or a size 12 no one wants to see every movement of your booty cheek (and
the ones that do are registered sex offenders. Bet me?)
5.
Gangham
Style: PSY is on record bashing America so it’s time we end his 15 minutes
of fame.
6.
“The
Taylor Swift contradiction”: It goes a little something like this: Taylor Swift’s song comes on the radio. You:
“Gah, I hate Taylor Swift. She cannot sing or write.” Cue the singing of every word to Taylor Swift’s song. See what I am saying? We must pick a
side. Either we love her or we hate her.
7.
Doomsday
freaks out: Have we learned our lesson yet? I think so. Let’s not be so
stupid in 2013.
8.
Kristen
Stewart Memes: We get it. She has no facial expressions. Now stop filling
up the humor section of my Pinterest with the nonsense.
9.
Mustaches:
I do not understand this trend, but I do know if any girl I know were to
actually grow a mustache a major meltdown would ensue. So unless you are Zorro, Teddy Roosevelt,
Mario, Luigi, or Ron Burgundy, Hulk Hogan, or Charlie Chaplin you might want to
add this to your “What not to do in 2013” list, especially if yours grows
patchy!
1. “Keep Calm and…”: While I am sure that
the British creators of the original moral boosting posters “Keep Calm and
Carry On” would be flattered at the theme’s new found fame, BUT we have wore it
out.
Don’t be sad there are a few things that deserve another
year (at the least)….
1.
The
Rebirth of Neon: (You can thank my fellow Magnolia for that title) So until
this past year neon was a “summer thing,” but in 2012 it lasted through the
winter as a pop of color for the most dreary of winter outfits. Love it. Keep
it.
2.
Kate
Middleton’s status as a fashion icon/role model is deserving of another
year in the spotlight. Thanks to her fashion choices, classy is cool. And of
course it goes without saying that in 2013 we will all obsess over the royal
baby.
3.
Memes: A lot of people are calling for an end to
this form of humor, but I say we keep them. There is a meme for everything,
that’s what makes them so perfect. No matter what situation you find yourself
in, there is a fitting meme to make you laugh.
4.
Duck
Dynasty: So I basically gave up reality TV for the most part when The Hills cast no longer included Lauren
Conrad, but Duck Dynasty has entranced me and apparently over half the country.
But if you look at the line up of reality TV shows, you cannot get anymore
wholesome than Duck Dynasty. They promote faith and family, which needs all the
publicity it can get these days.
5.
Pintrest:
Greatest. Website. EVER.
6.
The Top
Knot: This hair look is about as versatile as they come. From work to play,
the top knot is a no fuss quickie. However, please do not throw your hair in a
bun and call it a top knot because there are a few rules and techniques to
pulling this look off.
7.
Collars:
Peter Pan collars, Studded collars, jeweled collars, etc. I love this chic
approach to adding a little extra edge, glitz, or a feminine touch to the
otherwise considered Plain Jane ensembles.
8.
Lace:
This classy, yet veritable material has made one heck of a comeback outside the
world of weddings. I think another year of lace inspired attire is unanimously
welcomed with open closets.
9.
Bold
lipstick: I am seen so many Hollywood Hotties rocking the runway with bold
lipstick colors. It can be edgy, classy, or flirty depending on the shade.
1. Braids: I am not referring to your
grade school pigtails. In 2012, braids became “a thing.” You can now go online
and find 10 different types of braids, along with a tutorial, that can be
runway ready or beach side sexy in minutes.
Let's make 2013 the best year yet! It has so much potential!
