Welcome back to part 2! If you missed the first post, it's all good. I'll link it right here. I highly recommend you read the first post before you scroll any further. (Psst! Notice anything different??? I may have changed the color scheme of the blog.)

Camo

Freakin' Camo. Oh my gosh, everyone had Camo print EVERYTHING! Camo skinnies, denim jackets, shorts, hair bows (why?), rainboots, socks, underwear and even slip-on canvas shoes! Nooooo! I LOVE SLIP-ON CANVASES! What kind of monster would allow this to happen?! *gasp.....faints dramatically. Really cute guy fans me with a Nylon Magazine*

Well, I've had a slight change of heart. The only thing covered in camo that I actually want now, is a camo denim jacket or vest. That's it.

How I Would Wear Camo

Trainers

Yeeeeeeah, I guess you can say that I'm not very "trendy". Oh well. One thing about me is that I'm not going to just go with the flow just because everyone's doing it. And this was a trend I definitely could not flow with. Seriously??? Remember that Librarian in elementary school that always wore a stiff denim maxi dress with embroidered apples and rulers on it and she wore tube socks and the same white New Balances with the chunky soles? Yeah, you remember. THAT'S WHAT THIS TREND REMINDS ME OF.

The only sneakers that go on these feet when I'm not dying on the treadmill, are Converse and Vans....maybe Nike Blazers. Maybe.

How I Would Wear Trainers

Mules

The last time I wore these shoes was circa 2004, when I was more of a hippie than I am today. No seriously, anything with bell sleeves, paisley brown tops, denim skirts, sandals and thick soled keds, and rose colored glasses was my uniform. I used to hate putting on those super girly dresses my mom bought me. I even used to say everything was "groovy" and "far out". I KID YOU NOT. I was a Lisa Frank Backpack wearin' 90s kid stuck in the 70s. Nothing has changed but my height and my age. Yes, that means that I'll still have a Nerf War with you at the age of 21. Just let me get a glass of Muscadine in me first. :D

Maybe in the future, I'll have a change of heart with the mule, but as of now, 11 years later, I'm still over this shoe. Sometimes, it takes time for me to actually want to give a trend a try.

Culottes

Anyone else feel like these are just Gauchos with a different name? I used to have a pair in black and red, and I wore flats and sneakers with them and some random graphic tee my mom found at what is now Justice. (it used to be Limited Too)

I can't deal with this trend. I just can't with these pants. It looks too much like a knee length skirt until you scroll all the way down to see where this blogger purchased her SKIRT from...only to find out that it was actually a pair of big modern gauchos. I'm not sure about this trend. It's kind of odd looking, but I still might give this a try.

That's it for today loves! Thank you for reading! So tell me.....which trend have you had a change of heart for? Which trend do you still dislike? Comment Down Below! Have an awesome week guys!

A Change of Heart

Hey guys! What's up? It is I, your favorite hippie, and today on the blog, we will discuss trends and having a change of heart.

If you've been a long time reader (thank you!) then you might remember this post. If you're new to the blog, then stop what you're doing, and head on over to the post where I first talked about trends I was definitely not a fan of...also welcome to A Fabulous Hippie!

Disclaimer: This post is not intended to offend or discourage any of you who may like the trends that I dislike. This post is meant to be humorous. By all means, share your opinions in the comment section below! I want to know how you feel about these trends, too!

Ginormous Holes in Denim

Ugh. Almost 2 years later, and I still hate ridiculously hole-y jeans. I love a pair of ripped, distressed denim like the next girl, but this is too much. You could pair a really cute and classy top with those jeans, and I would still gag.

How to wear torn denim

Now we're talkin'! This is what mama likes: distressed denim that is still tasteful.

Anything Tied Around the Hips

There is no way you can convince me that this trend is ok. And like I predicted back in 2013 when I wrote this post, I knew it wouldn't take long for everyone to wear this trend the f*ck out. Sorry, I couldn't find a pic to justify this crime.

Bodycon Mini Dresses + Skirts

It depends on how you style this dress or skirt. It's not okay to walk out of the house in broad daylight with a dress this short and so much skin showing. Unless you're Ariana Grande, save that for the club ladies.

At first, I honestly felt like fitted mini dresses and skirts were disgusting, but I've had a change of heart since then. Like I said, it's all in how you style it. Instead of sky high platform heels, go for single soled heels, like pointed toe pumps or these delicious stilettos, and instead of going bare with your arms, you could easily layer your dress with a kimono, a denim jacket (since denim is the all the rage all of a sudden) or a flannel if you're feeling that way. I would style my bodycon dress wearing a grid patterned button down with the sleeves rolled up (J.Crew Style of course) opened like a jacket or tied in the front with a trendy black bucket bag, a wide brim hat, and pointed toe booties. Because I'm FABULOUS like that. *diva snap*

Also, let's have some class ladies....the 3rd picture is unacceptable. If you bend over and I can see all of your goods, I have a problem with that.

How to Wear Bodycon Mini Dresses + Skirts

Karla's Closet

Birkenstocks

I'm not gonna lie, normally I consider trying a trend before knocking it, but I immediately said "NO" when I was first saw these on a Tumblr fashion blog. They just look funny to me. And uncomfortable. I wouldn't know, I've never put my foot in a pair of Birkenstocks before. Seriously. I remember when all of my classmates in elementary school used to wear them daily. Like, back in the very early 2000's, they were like the go-to or "essential". I doubt I'll change my mind like I did the next trend.

Peep/Open Toe Booties

Oh my gosh, I remember when my hatred for peep toe booties was much more than my hatred for licorice, history class and kitten heels combined. Well, I guess you can say that I've had a change of heart. I recently ordered a pair of silver open toe booties/sandals from Charlotte Russe (in gold), and I love them! I call these my "Summer Time" booties. (^_^) If you get the ones that are strappy like mine, it would be best if you try them on in a store. The "cage" may be a little wider than you thought or you may have to size up or down because we all know that not every website tells you if a shoe is true to size or not and the reviews are never any help. This customer says it's true to size, but the customer before her says it's a half size too small. WHICH ONE IS IT?!

That's all for today, loves! Thanks for reading!!! Stay tuned for Part 2! How do you feel about these trends? ;)

Style Craving: Mock Neck

Black Crop | Nude Midi Dress(sold out){Love This} | Grey Crop {Save} | Oversized Sweater Dress | Fitted Dress | Jumpsuit (in black) {Love This}

Ahhhh, the Mock Neck (or Polo/Turtle Neck)....I've always admired this neckline, but after a while, I wanted to try something different and eventually I completely stopped wearing it. That is until I found a grey fitted midi dress at the thrift store for (WAIT FOR IT.......) 0.99 cents!!! Oh yeah. Thrifting is awesome, you guys. You should try it sometime if you haven't already. I will style my awesome find very soon! You have no idea how excited I am....

I've always had a thing for necklines such as the polo/turtle neck, the peter pan collar, the boat neck, and any other neckline that sits above my collar bone. It's rare that I show any boob.

For a casual look, you could pair a cropped, sleeveless mock neck with a pair of light-washed, high waisted jeans with a leather backpack and converse.
For a more vintage/indie vibe, you could pair the same top with a pair of faux red leather skinny jeans, and a beige oversized cardigan and some worn in combat boots with a tan fedora as the cherry on top.
For an office/chic look, a fitted solid color midi skirt, a statement necklace, and a pair of nude pointed toe pumps.

Here are a few of my favorite looks:

*[SIDE NOTE]* I really like the messy "lob" (long bob) look with this neckline. Then again, any hairstyle would look cute. Also, the slight difference between a mock neck and a turtleneck is that a turtleneck is normally folded so you don't look like a stylish ninja. ;) #AutumnsTheories

Hope you had a great weekend! Thanks for reading!!!
