What Is the Worst Trend You’ve Fallen For?

It’s spring and time for me to clean my closet. For some reason, it’s always bursting at the seams this time of year. In my efforts to make room for this year’s new styles, I’ve found a few trends that I can’t believe I ever fell for. Oh yes, I must confess to being the not-so-proud owner of a pair of “hammer” pants, gauchos, and even a neon boob tube (ow!). It’s crazy how impressionable our closets can be! Is there a trend that you’ve fallen for and regretted later?

The giveaway ended April 19th, but you can still add your story to this chit chat. Look for more giveaways soon and stand by for an announcement about our winner.

Anything LL Bean is not stylish....so spend the extra time and (maybe) money and go shopping with style.

A couple of years ago I think that I actually outfitted at least 20 kids for an 80's dance right out of my closet. Yes I even had a raspberry beret and a purple prince pants suit with yes shoulder pads. Not to mention the space look and arguille sweaters with matching socks and high tops. Leg warmers, mini skirts and the infamous jean jackets in colored stonewash denim with matching pants and mini skirts all in the loudest colors imaginable. I am happy to say that none of the children are wearing them and that I no longer own them. Yeah me!

I was cleaning closets & found several leather skirts I wore when I was younger. I donated those to charity. I also wore blue and green mascara once upon a time. The photos of me during that time of my life make me cringe.

I am still the proud owner of sweat pants that have the elastic around the ankles. They are so comfortable, yes comfortable.

Two words: Shoulder pads.

In the 60's I wore false eyelashes - horrible to put on and totally unreliable as I found out on several occasions. The most embarassing 'fallout' was at a cocktail party when one eyelash fell into my drink as I was talking animately. I haven't tried false lashes since. But maybe the fixative is better now?

In the 80s, I sprayed my hair (mullet) with Sun-in. It turned my hair orange. Ick.

Spikey hair cuts - oh my gosh, in so many photos I look like a refuge (or a person who was trying on a bad disguise).
