5 fashion things I can't stand (and their alternatives)

Sorry to say this, but U.S. is not a fashion country, and will never be.
Sure, I don't live in NYC, but I am far away from Cali where all you need are shorts + flip flops
Going to college in Boston, the quintessential "college town",
I expected to see young & hip fashion (not too stuck up but well put together)
And I go to Wellesley = 2500 talented women = some fashionistas right?
Nope.
Sure, there are some well dressed ppl on campus, but they r mostly from Europe
(aka the girl in my econometrics class w/ the cutest red ankle boots hv delicious russian accent)
Below are fashion items I saw most often in the States & HATE HATE them.
Pls do not wear them or I am afraid we can't be friends anymore
(lol..jk..but i will hv to force u to go shopping with me)

1. Crocs vs. Marc Jacobs



They make me speechless. Yes, they are comfortable, but fashion always rank above comfort.

Besides, there are better alternatives that are equally comfy, below




Perfect for summer on the beach! Adorable <3>

2. Ugg 2. Ugg vs. Tokidoki





They just don’t look good on anyone. And they are not even useful, not rain/snow proof Just get those rainboots with popping colors instead.



Aren’t these so much better Looks familiar? Yep they collaborated with LeSportsac to create one of its best collection ever.



3. Longchamp vs. Longchamp (haha)




Everyone has this bag. EVERYONE. What’s so great about it? The materials aren’t great and it looks so….boring.



So I was doing some research to find an alternative bag that will be great for school. Originally I was thinking: YSL downtown. Then I thought that its not fair because these two brands are not in the same range. So I went to check out longchamp website, and found this in their new collection. Very artsy + “don’t take me too seriously” vibe Just to show that the same brand can produce completely different fashion, if one is just willing to search for it.


4. Abercrombie vs. Forever21




I do not understand their ads. Is it because that their stuff is so unpresentable that they rely on showing nude ppl? I thought this is a clothing brand? Hello?? Overpriced + horrible quality



Hey look! Fully closed people, for a change. I love forever 21. The qualities aren’t great, but price is unbeatable. And because they copy a lot of top designer’s designs (bad for Lagerfeld, good for me), their stuff is always on top of the trends & updated daily I can always find amazing things in forever21 and not break my bank.
