Don't you hate when you start wearing something random only to find out a few months later that it's mainstream? I do!
I remember when I could pick my boyfriend's flannel western shirt up off the floor and put it on without trying to be fashionable, just trying not to freeze! And then I'd run to the Harris Teeter in it and pull it off fine. Now, everyone has one of those red or yellow flannels from Urban Outfitters or Forever 21, or whoever else is selling them. Now I can't even wear them out in public without being just one of the other "trendy" girls. What's worse, the
y're wearing it like it's supposed to be a boy's shirt. Go get a shirt from a real boy, not a mannequin!Same thing with the hippie headband. Not that I sported it, but I would occasionally do the braids, creating the same effect. I technically could still rock the look, but I don't even want to anymore.
This is different than my being excited about flared jeans coming back. I don't care about that because jeans are a basic item. These shirts and headbands, although they are just examples, are more underground items that have no place in the mainstream world. Maybe I'm overreacting, but it just aggravates me.
