Lazy Style: 4 Signs You Sold Your Fashion Soul

                                             LAZY DAYS 

                            What we think we look like

                                  What we actually look like

Laziness is the trend of the moment. Dressing like a complete slob has somehow taken over our communities, and it shows no sign of stopping. 

It all began with the ballet flat epidemic, which started as a tribute to Audrey Hepburns adorable ballet inspired look. This basically introduced all women to the comfortable world of flats, leading most to swap out painful heels for comfort. However, it didn't stop there. This led to wanting some amazing pants to match with the comfort of our shoes. This is when the spandex, jeggings, explosion occurred. Why fuss with buttons or rigid waists?  Sweat Pants, are an old classic but never have they been more acceptable to run around in public doing our daily errands. In the past, believe it or not,  it would have been completely taboo to be seen in such "lounge wear". 

Of course, we all have our moments when we are over worked, and stressed to our max. However, submitting to a "LAZY" look is a sign of personal defeat. Every once in awhile, "defeat" maybe unavoidable, after all we are human. However, a daily dose of, "Lazy", is a fashion sin. 

"Sweat pants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life so you bought some sweat pants." -Karl Lagerfeld

4 Signs You Have Sold Your Fashion Soul. 

 

                                           1.)  ONESIE

Onsies are a fashion nightmare. A horribly hilarious idea that has some how become a reality. Literally a piece of cloth sewn together by the strength of every lazy thought possible. We have zippers, fleece,and a hoodie, you might as well have LOSER written across the back as well. 

                                       2.)  SWEAT PANTS

Sweat pants only belong in  two places, either the gym or at home lounge on the couch. The moment you feel it is acceptable to be seen anywhere else, is a sign you have given up, and traded in your self respect.

                                       3.)  SPANDEX PANTS

Yes, spandex stretches, and it feels great. However, They are an eyesore to look at. Of course if they are styled properly, and certain bits are properly covered it can be cute. What I am talking about are those  that slap on some spandex and a t-shirt and feel they are good to go. Think again. 

                      

                           4.)ULTRA COMFORTABLE SHOES

Lazy shoe addiction!

I have to admit, I am quite guilty of this one. It is very hard to give up the comfort that flat shoes bring. However, now that I have moved back to California, and no longer have to "walk" from destination to destination or take public transport, I feel I have no justifiable excuse to not wear high heels. Surprisingly enough,  my ability to walk in high heels or high wedges has significantly weakened right  along with my tolerance for pain. However, just like anything in life all it takes is a bit of practice. You can't imagine what a bit of a heel can do for your posture and physique. Trust me, it's worth the effort. 

6 Deadly Fashion Sins

Fashion is all about your identity. Usually, there is very little someone can say about your fashion choices being right or wrong; however, nothing kills fashion faster than these 6 Fashion Sins.

                                      BRAND LABEL OVERLOAD

Labels, labels, labels. Nothing is a fashion turn off quite like an article of clothing that is slapped with a brand label for everyone to see. Yes, it is the quickest way to shout to the world, "This is Expensive", but also the tackiest. 

Wearing brands should be for the quality, and high level of artistry not for the excessive showing off of how much money you spent.

 Such logos stamped on you, brands you like a walking billboard. Unless you are being sponsored, it really doesn't make much fashion sense.

                             UNDERGARMENT EXPOSURE

Call me old fashion but, undergarments are not meant to be seen. It is extremely distracting and it detracts from you as a person. No matter how on trend you might be, visible panties or bras will always be the first thing you see and the last thing you remember. Fashion will always be lost in a lingerie mix. 

                                            GYM CASUAL

"There are no ugly women, just lazy ones."

-Coco Chanel

Recently, I have noticed an epidemic of gym clothes everywhere I go. Either everyone has gone mad for fitness, or they are simply wearing them because they are ultra comfortable, and give you and excuse for not combing your hair or having any make up. Either way, the only time you should be wearing fitness clothes is when you actually go to the gym. Yes, you are not hurting  anyone by being lazy, but it is laziness itself that kills fashion. 

                                      MATCHY MATCHY

Matching your outfits as kids is extremely adorable, as adults, not so much. The issue is identity. Fashion is all about your inner identity and being "matchy matchy" with your lover, or best friend forever 

shows the world you still have not found your fashion voice.  

                              PETS ARE NOT ACCESSORIES

There is no doubt small furry creatures are adorable. However, using them as accessories to complete an outfit, and treating them like "things", is not fashionable. Rather than creating a fashion identity, it becomes more of a "image circus". You are fun to watch, but no one is listening to what you say. 

                                         CLOTHING LOVE

Lastly, show your clothes some love. Pay attention to the details. Make sure there are no stains or wrinkles. You can't imagine how much details such as these distract the human eye. A fashion look can be completely ruined by neglecting some simple fashion care.
