Are You Kidding?

I know this is a late post...sorry.  I had a few tire issues to work out and now here we go!


So I get on the American Eagle website the other day and find these new things in the jeans section called Jeggings.  I figure its an American Eagle thing, whatever.  Then I see on the Yahoo scrolling news on the front page, the new "in" thing is Jeggings.  Really?  I'm working my butt of to get out of tight jeans and they want me to get myself back into tight jeans?  If I wanted that I would just eat more and save the money and make the jeans I have now "jeggings."  Skin tight jeans that are suppose to look like leggings...what's next?!

This got me thinking about the other useless "fashions" that are "in" right now.  I'll admit it, I want to lose weight so I can wear some of the latest styles, but after the mini freak out I had over Jeggings, I figured I'd find out what else was out there that I'm "suppose" to wear.
1. Ruffles
Some ruffles are okay, don't get me wrong.  Its the one's that are on the neckline that block your sightline.  I don't quite understand why I need so much fabric around my neck.  And ultimately, you have to reach around those things to do anything in front of you.  Come on, we as women had to get used to our boobs being there and now we're suppose to get used to a mess of ruffles?

2.  Ass Shorts
And by ass shorts I mean the shorter than short khaki and denim shorts they sell in the malls.  The ones that have like a half-inch inseam.  The ones that barely cover your butt cheeks.  Thats honestly the last thing I want to see walking in front of me is part of someone's butt.  And even if I workout, lose all this weight, and they look good...you're not going to be seeing my butt cheeks.  Its a butt...there's nothing really special about it.

3. Bodysuits
Evidently this little trend is making a comeback because I've seen several on store websites (Forever 21, Lucky magazine's website).  I had to wear something similar in gymnastics all those years ago and that was the most uncomfortable thing I've ever worn.  If and when I get thin, a bodysuit is the last thing on my list.
4.  Mini dress
The dresses I'm talking about are like the ass shorts I described earlier.  The only difference is that this not only exposes the booty, but the frontal goodies too.  Sure losing weight means smaller clothes, but come on, do I really have to show off everything?  If I'm paying for a dress I'm gonna make sure it covers properly.

I'm not saying these trends are horrible and nobody should wear them...you just won't see me in these anytime soon.  As I lose weight I may be able to wear some of these, but its not likely.  Just like Jeggings, I'm not working out to get myself out of tight clothes only to put myself back in them.
