Thank you for the Kate G. admonishment!

The reverse mullet is never cool

Ughhhhhhh thank you for this! You have no idea how hardcore these trends are in Europe...especially the droopy-poopy pants that look sooo ridiculous and unflattering!

hahaha hilarious and so true! why can't people just be classic and pretty instead of ridiculous?

and that kate g haircut makes me sick at my stomach. who is her stylist?

Yikes...it never ceases to amaze me how people go against what their body is and what it can look great in!

I can't help it... I covet the balmain jacket. shoulder pads and all.

ok seriously - who told kate gosselin that haircut looked good? her hair stylist needs to be taken out back and shot. ok perhaps that was harsh but really - it's hideous and she is such a pretty girl. hammer pants? really? when i was in rome a few years back all the rage was the wild colored tights and i admit i bought a pair of lime green that have yet to come out of the package!! i don't want to end up on your fashion don't list!!

Those fringe stockings are frightening! An awesome post -- totally made me laugh this morning. I don't know why some people are so obsessed with what's "in style". There really are some trends out there that people should avoid. Anyways, it's so much more interesting when people find their own style and show that off.

AMEN. Amen to it all. Especially to the disaster that is atop Kate Gosselin's head.

I wish bustles would come back. I have no butt.

Lol! This IS pretty funny...and everything you said is sooooo true.
Great post.

shoulder pads!!! I remember in the late 80's my mom used to wear bras that come with shoulder pads!

Amen, Erin! I know the 80s are back and while I can handle skinny jeans, (black) leggings and even some neon I DO NOT GET harem pants. They're unflattering and should never, ever have resurfaced. Also hate (almost all) onesies. Just so hard to pull off in "real life".

Also shoulder pads. Horrible. I remember cutting them out of my dresses back in middle school. Even then I had broad shoulders and they just made (well, make) me look like a linebacker.

Ugg,the Kate haircut- I can NOT believe some people go into their hairdressers and actually ask for this! Ahh, the horrors!

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly with your post--especially about the hairstyle and the shoulderpads!

Gaze at them too long and you'll turn into a pillar of salt like Lot's wife.

Kate G. - Flock of Seagulls meets a hedgehog.

I offer up one more - the always perilous jumpsuit/romper trend that will once again create fashion disasters aplenty.

Ha! I have always had the same thoughts on the haircut!

You like Jaydiohead and you don't like those nylon green dunks?... What in the world?... Haha... Agreed on everything else... Kates hairstyle is a direct reflection of how crazy she is... Very fitting...

You're obviously not into Fast Fashion

An Amen billborad for you..10 stories tall!!!
The leggings I blame on Lindsay Lohan..I saw her designs somewhere & my 7 yeard old goddaughetr thought they looked like cheap Halloween store stuff. Gross.
My hair stylist wants to personally find Kate's hair cutter 'cause no stylist would do that, tie them down & whip them repeatedly with back issues of ELLE magazine, hoping it will somehow instill a bit of chic into them. Its a trailer park peacock.
Now all we need to do is to get the post into Americas hands......

The fringe legging just looks like you need to shave really bad!! Personally I hope the 80's look never comes back.. it's so unflattering!

I did a "what not to wear" post back in march with a bit of a TWIST to it! LOL wanna read it?

I too am "into the leggings" for comfort but OMG shoulder pads are just ugly!

my, my, my. This hits home! In the 80's I had these HUGE shoulder pads that came in cans. Just popped those under a t-shirt and walla! Instant quarterback! I'm dating myself, right?

Great post!
