- Sweater dresses (I think these are best left where we found them...in reruns of The Facts of Life)
- Bubble skirts (you know...the kind with the banded hem...what?!)
- Skinny jeans (I think the name says it all...and we might as well throw leggings in with this because I hate those too!)
- Colored denim (YIKES!!)
- High-waisted pants (I still haven't figured this one out)
- Swing jackets (oh noooo where's my pillbox hat?!)
- Tartan plaid (it's just cruel to put anything tartan on your bum if it's the largest part of your body!)
- Red lipstick (uff, I'm sick of it...only some people can pull it off...everyone else looks like they just stepped out of a Robert Palmer video)
- Ankle boots (I think my grandma has some of these)
- Ballet flats (yes, I said it...they have no arch support, they don't actually look that good with anything other than skirts and skinny jeans, and they've been done to death...I'm sick of not being able to find a shoe that isn't a gold lamé ballet flat!)
- Navy and Charcoal (I've missed these colors!)
- A-line skirts (especially ones that hit just below the knee)
- Dark nail polish (not black, but deep purple, navy blue, and gunmetal gray are great)
- Black Mary Janes (preferably flat, not patent, with a semi-chunky non-platform heel)
- Bob with bangs (it's so cute!)
- Slightly puffed sleeves (they're cute and pretty flattering)
- Slouchy knit berets (if these aren't in style, they should be...have you seen Ysolda's designs?!)
- Thermal henleys (they're so comfy)

P.S. Fashion, I know we broke up a couple years ago, but maybe if you get your shit together we can give it another go. How about it?

I agree with almost all of your fashion faux-pas! Except I'm finally giving in to flats and though I don't wear any or own any, I'm still looking for THE flats that turn me to the dark side!
I took a picture of Katie Holmes in to get my haircut last week. I don't know why no hairdesser in the world can please me by giving me what I want! It's always a country bumpkin knockoff version somehow, that or just absolute rubbish.
Can't stand colored jeans. They always look like they came fresh from Goodwill.
I guess I should clarify my feelings on ballet flats...they can be quite cute, especially with the current trends. Especially a pair of plain black flats made of a material that really molds to the foot. And on very skinny girls, a plain black flat with skinny jeans is, I admit, one of my favorite looks. But it's not a very inclusive trend (not that trends ever are, but I think skinny jeans are particularly cruel to non-waifs). Also, my gripe with ballet flats is that they really don't balance well with the fashions I like for fall...a-line skirts that hit just below the knee, for example. I think they require a bit of a heel, or else the legs can look a bit short. Plus I'm really into textures & heavier fabrics & darker colors, which I think look better with a slightly chunky, more serious-looking shoe.
And the best haircut I ever got was when I took a picture of post-split Britney Spears to my hairdresser. I guess she was trying to class it up after ditching K-Fed via text message, before she dyed her hair brown and subsequently shaved her head, and she had this great little bob with bangs.
