Overused Trends

Dear Ones, this is my first post on TFoM! but there is an issue that cannot go unaddressed ONE MORE MINUTE! This would be the issue--dare I say, tragedy--of overused trends. Now there are many that we can speak of, however I think it is fair to bring up the leggings trend! Yes, darlings, the leggings trend. While we all love the idea of full coverage, while still showing off the gams, am I not correct to point out that it is nearly summer and people are still wearing leggings!? I find this frustrating... especially since so few people (and even so few celebs...) can properly rock this trend. When the legging trend was re-born in France in 2007 (trust me people, I was there watching it develop), I was excited. The possibilities involved with leggings were limitless and the chic French ladies were able to carry out the trend fabulously, pairing them with the ever-comfortable flat shoe and stand-out accessories. However, what was once a great trend that should have died out in due time, is now lingering on our favorite celebs and on our semi-best-friend-co-coworker-gal pal...you know who I am talking about. Now, maybe we all are to blame for this overused trend...after all, who didn't go out and snag 5 different pairs of leggings when this 80's-inspired look popped back up? I know I invested in a few pair myself... However, ladies, let's just consider that trends are meant to come and go... so please let the leggings go. If not for good, just for the summer season. You can pull them back out in winter with a comfy sweater and I may forgive you for it...may ...
