Goodbye to Yesteryear...2008!!

It's New Years Eve!!! This time of year is always kind of bittersweet. The year has come and gone. Good times and bad times. We have a historic new President! We all are getting older (some, not so wiser). The economy is shot to hell. Jobs were lost. Many retailers went out of business. Banks went bankrupt(damn)! But through it all, we looked good, right! (LOL). Well, here it is. My list of trends that came and went in 2008... Some need to never come back. Don't shed a tear for the memories (you'll ruin your make-up)! LOL.

5) Skinny Jeans-even the boys rocked them! But it's time to replace them with the "boyfriend' jean.

4) Rocker liquid leggings-I rocked mine to death! However, for '09, you'll be doin' the "Hammer-time" in your "harem" pants.(Notice I said you; not me.)

3) Scarves-enough already!!! Let's tie it in a knot and strangle this trend...It's time to get sophisticated in '09 with "bold statement jewelry".

2) Christian Dior Gladiator Sandal... Everystore had a knockoff of this shoe! This was the hottest trend of 2008. I didn't even want the "real" Dior because there were so many damn copycats. For '09, we will see updated versions of the pee-toe platfom.

1)UGGS... AAAAAGGGGHH!!!!!. For crying out loud people>>>they're called Uggs!!!>>.Short for UGLY. As much as I hate that word, it is appropriately used in this context. These are not for style, but for function(like their ugly cousin Crocs); to keep the feet warm for people in Australia...LOL; not for so-called-fashionistas!!! Please, Obama calls for change! This year we must act on that! Stand for change and kick the Uggs back in 2008. (But I just know I'll see these things in 2009.....damn!) For '09, we will see a re-birth of the "classic tailored tall boot".
