Cleaning out your closet is a necessary project in preparation for the
new year and all the new trends that come along with it. Three trends
you can do without next year are hippie headbands, jeggings and feather
earrings.
Hippie Headbands
Hippie headbands found fame
when celebrities like Nicole Ritchie and mogul sisters Mary-Kate and
Ashley Olson jumped on the wagon. With celebrities endorsing the
nostalgic accessory, labels started cranking out high end versions like
hot cakes. Maybe it’s my pronounced forehead and thick mane that made
this trend completely unwearable and relegated it to my list of trends
that should be trashed. I never got the rhyme or reason behind dividing
your forehead in two with a piece of string, it may have worked in the
70’s but in 2011 it needs to be trashed.

Jeggings
It pains
me to add jeggings to the list because I was among the scores of budget
conscious, comfort seeking fashion enthusiasts who scored a pair (or
three) for running about town. Since their introduction to the market,
fashion enthusiasts have been more or less split on whether they are
chic or bleak. However the prognosis started to look bleak when the
trend gained momentum in the menswear market and even popped up on
rapper Lil Wayne in his MTV Video Music awards performance this fall,
driving scores of fans to twitter and Facebook to weigh in on the trend.
Project Runway mentor Tim Gunn is not a fan of jeggings, even more
reason to eighty-six them before the new year.

Long Feather Earrings
Paging
PETA! Fashion went feather crazy in 2010 and 2011, however things
reached a level of ridiculousness when over-the-top feather earrings
became all the rage. Years ago peacock earrings were a hot project for
DIY fashionistas with a bohemian edge. This year, feather earrings came
back with a vengeance with some versions seemingly feet long, staring at
the ear lobe and cascading down past the collarbone. I am a fan of
statement accessories, but this trend always has and inherent low
quality character that cheapens a look rather than elevating it.
Make room for all the wonderful new trends 2012 will bring and nix some of the less fashionable ones 2011 dished out.
