Trendy, Timeless, or I Could Care Less

I have always loved clothes but have never considered myself on the cutting edge of fashion. I like comfortable clothing, and comfort and style are not always synonymous. However, the older I get, and having a daughter in fashion school, I am reminded that I am not only not on the cutting edge, but I am also maybe not even near the edge (lol).

With that said, today I leaned a new word. I was googling to see if a certain sandal was still in style when I came across a blog. The blogger's advice regarding dated trends mentioned a term I had not heard before. She mentioned the term "cheugy" meaning someone who is out of touch, trying too hard, or someone who is behind on trends.

This made me think about all of the trends through the years that I have experienced come and go and come around again. Two items that this blogger mentioned are skinny jeans and the LV Never Full Bag. I started thinking about those trends, and wondering if I really am "cheugy", and if I am, maybe that's okay? I haven't worn my skinny jeans lately, but I'm keeping them because I think they look really cute with ankle boots and flowy boho tops. Maybe those are "so Ohio" another term for dorky I recently learned from middle school kids. No offense to Ohio (from me anyway.)

I guess my point is, even if something you love like a pair of sandals, a pair of jeans, or a particular style purse is out of style...maybe we can still pull it off if we want to. I don't really want to feel behind the times, but I am not 20 anymore. I have daughters who are that young and honestly, some of the new fads are just not for my age group (IMHO). I do love some of the trends though, like ballet flats and MaryJane's. So, I will update my shoe rotation to include those for sure.

I will also continue to wear things that I know my daughters would not wear and I will (try) to be comfortable, both in my style and with my style choices. So, my conclusion is I'll opt for a little trendy, a little timeless, and a lot of I could care less.

Stay Comfy!
