Non Faves? Wouldn’t that mean I don’t like them? YES. These are, in fact, some of my favorite pet peeves. If that is even possible. See, lately, I feel like I’m being accosted by all of my pet peeves at once, so why not just vent about them? Right? I mean, it takes one to have the other, so letting you girls and guys know what gets my goat isn’t that far of a stretch. I promise this isn’t going to become a regular rant, lol promise.

First off, let me say I love leggings. I loved them as a little kid in the 80s because they allowed me to play “Ninjas” with my brothers without my mom yelling at me that my skirt was up and ppl could see my panties. Now as a young woman, leggings are especially useful. Let’s say I’m wearing a long tunic blouse, or I’m in dance class, and even under my jeans to keep me warm…however, LEGGINGS ARE NOT PANTS LADIES! Which means YOU CAN NOT WEAR THEM AS IF THEY WERE PANTS! Trust me on this one, ok girls?

Nobody wants to see your butt through your leggings. Also, I don’t care how thin you are, nobody wants to see you giggling all over the everywhere. STOP IT. It wasn’t cute when Lindsay Lohan wore hers as pants, nor was it cute when Jennifer Hudson wore hers. As you can see, SIZE DOES NOT MATTER, they ARE NOT pants! The only way you get the “my leggings douple as pants” pass is if they are made of a material that HOLDS YOU IN! You, know, meaning they were MADE TO WEAR AS PANTS! *sigh*

Another thing that has been bothering me for like, ever; is “the uniform” epidemic amongst kids 16-29. Yeah I fall into that age demographic, but hear me out. It’s one thing to want to be trendy, in style and all; but really. C’mon. The lack of imagination is saddening. Don’t know what I mean? Keffiyeh styled scarves. I have no problem with them (regardless of their origin). My peeve is that EVERYONE wears the exact same scarf, the exact same way, because they saw someone else wearing them. Another example? Skinny jeans…..on guys. I know guys have been wearing skinny jeans, probably before girls. But my peeve isn’t just the fact that guys are wearing them. It’s the type of guys who are wearing them.The trend mongers and hipsters . The ones who are only wearing something because they saw their favorite rapper, rocker, or bluegrasser in it. They have no real connection to the style. They don’t like it truely. Because if they did, they wouldn’t have waited until it was “in style” to wear it.

These people I can spot easily. You can too, because they look very out of place in their clothing also, they’re probably the ones coming out of H&M with bags upon bags because they have to replace their entire wardrobe with “trendy” items. Meaning a season or two ago, NONE OF THESE STYLES EXISTED IN THEIR MIND! Now, before you yap at me that people’s fashion tastes evolve, I want to point out that yes, yes it does…just not over night. Most normal people gradually change their look, and most of the time unconsiously. It’s natural. And even if it’s planned, it starts out with one or two pieces then from there. Not just an EXPLOSION of neon colors and skinny jeans. Neon colors and skinny jeans THAT ARE SAGGING?! W.T.F. Not just non-belted sagging…but purposeful “I pulled my pants down” sagging. To the point were their walk is now a waddle?!  *I have a head ache.*

That’s it for now. I’ll crawl back down from my soapbox and let you get back to your regular programming.
