Things That Must Go Thursday- Shopping/ Fashion Edition

1. J.Crew thinking that they can charge $800 for a sweater!

WHO does J.Crew think they ARE?? I mean, don't get me wrong, I LOVE J.Crew's style. I would buy my entire wardrobe from there if I could, but I CAN'T because I am not going to spend my entire pay check on 2 items! It is obscene that they think can charge $300 for a sweater, $100 for a T-shirt, and $700 for a sundress! This is J.Crew not Chanel!

Sweater: $1,298.00. I rest my case.

2. Express putting glitter in EVERYTHING!

Okay so I really like Express' dress clothes for work (slacks, button-ups, cardigans, etc.), but have you ever noticed that 90% of their clothing has some kind of glitter in it?!?! It's like they want you to look like New Years Eve all year round. I just do not understand this fashion theory at all! I have to be very careful with what I buy from there- I can walk into the store and see a super cute scarf and as soon as I get close enough I realize it is covered in glitter and that's the end of that.

Dear Express- I do not want to look like my 5 year old niece picked out my top because it was "sparkly"!

3. Alexis Chung as Fashion Icon

For a long time I did not know who this person was that I kept reading about on fashion blogs or hearing about on E!News (don't judge me). Thinking that this girl must have fabulous taste I was intrigued... then I looked into it... I think this picture says it all....

4. Re- purposing old clothing for something "new"

I am all about DIY, refinishing old furniture, Deseret Industries, etc. But what I don't think is okay is when people take ratty old t-shirts to make some "hot" tank top! I mean REALLY? You can't spring the $7 at Target for a new one? And who are you fooling, that doesn't look sassy and new... it looks like you cut up a RATTY OLD T-SHIRT!

Things That Must Go Thursday!

Another list of Chelsea's Things That Must GO!!!

1. New Swim Suits in December

I was at Target yesterday (my home away from home) and I saw that they already had their new swimming suits for the season out! WHAT?!! We really haven't even gotten winter yet and that means that winter in Utah will now last till June! Who is buying  a swim suit right now and waiting till June to wear it!? This is insanity. This goes right along with stores selling Christmas Decorations in August.

2. Ring-Back Tones

I honestly do not want to be forced to listen to some dumb song that YOU like. You aren't listening to this song, because you aren't calling your own cell phone, right?!?! If you like the song, then use it as your ring tone, but I don't like the song and I don't want to listen to it when I call you!

3. Network TV Stations Hiatus During The Holidays

Between the middle of December and the first week of January I happen to have a lovely break from school. And of course this is the time that television likes to air lame specials, re-runs, made for TV movies, etc. I have not been able to enjoy any of my favorites and won't, because the all start up when I return to school! Damn you Network Television!

4. Having Zits in Your 20's

I never had a zit the entire time I was going through puberty/ adolescents, but as soon as the roaring 20's hit my skin started to HATE ME!

Things That Must Go Thursday

Alright so it’s not that I have been in a cranky mood as of late but I have been very in- tune with my feelings of annoyance with the world around me.  So I decided to put my annoyance to good use and share it here.

This is my list of Things that must go!

(Starting off with the one I hate the most)

1. Keep Calm and {insert stupid phrase here}

I hate these signs so much no words can even convey my loathing! I want to know who started this trend and then I will hunt them down and b*%*h slap them!

I just threw up a little.

2. 40 year old women with pig-tails and tennis skirts at the gym

First of all you are no longer 7 years old and therefore should never put your hair in pigtails. Second, you are not on the tennis court nor do you look like Anna Kournikova. There is no reason why walking on a treadmill at Gold’s gym would require you to wear this outfit.

3. Pink and teal Christmas decorations

Since when did Christmas start looking like Easter? Last time I checked Santa’s suit is red, Christmas trees are green, and snow is white…

Gag!

4.  Family stick-figure decals on the backs of Suburban’s and Mini Van’s

Cool you have 6 kids, 2 cats, 4 gold fish, 3 birds and a dog…. Oh and it looks like each of the kids plays a different sport… Hooray! I mean really, guys! C’mon!
