Things I Just Don't Get

As I was sitting on my computer last night I looking at all the posts about the fourth of July, I ealized something very important.  I do not like it when people say 'Murica or 'Merica instead of America.  Yes, I know it is funny.  I know it i making fun of George W. but why must we use it all the time?

Oh 'Merica and those who use your name.  I wish you all the best. 

As I thought about this "Merica business I realized it is just another trend I have no interest in. I have never cared much about trends or name brands.  I just buy what I like and like what I buy.  I high school my big rule was I will NEVER buy clothing from Wal-Mart.  The only reason I had this rule was because Wal-Mart was the only store in town and I refused to be seen in their clothing.  Everyone would know where I bought that outfit.

I can be a little bit of a clothes snob, but my style is pretty basic and classic.  Give me brightly colored dress and a cute pair of flats or sandals or shorts and a tank top and I am set.

That said there are just some trends I do not understand. Sorry if you are living in one of these trends or just love it.  I am sure I love you as a person just not your accessories or hair.

Fake Moustaches

This one has been around for a few years and I just do not get it.  Why do pretty girls want to look like an ugly dude?  Why has the facial hair of creepers, musketeers, and Ron Burgundy become a sign of hipsters and cool twenty somethings?

Owls, Keys, and Feathers

It is near impossible these days to find a necklace without one or all of these features.  Owls, keys and feathers are just everywhere.  A friend and I decided we should open a jewelry story and call it Everything But Owls, Keys, and Feathers.  I am pretty sure we would go out of business because this trend is going crazy.

Ombre Hair

There is just something about ombre highlights I can not get behind.  They look like a person hasn't had their hair done in 2 years.  I am just so confused as to why women are paying money to look like their roots have been growing out for the last 3 summers.

If you are in need of a good laugh google bad ombre hair.  This was one of my favorite little gems out there.
