Whenever I pull out my fashion magazines to show my mom the latest trend that I'm dying to have, she always rolls her eyes and laughs. When I ask her why she is laughing, she tells me, "That was in style back when I was in school," or, "I remember wearing that back in the day." Therefore, her constant advice is: hold on to certain things because chances are one day they'll come back into style. As I have gotten older, I've to come to realize that she is completely right; there is a kind of recycling of ideas and designs you see in the fashion industry - but I'm not so sure about the saving clothes part.
One example: leggings. I'm sure this is a trend with which plenty of us University students are familiar. I even remember those elementary school days when I was pretty much obsessed with wearing my floral leggings to school and I begged my mom to let me wear them every day. While I am thrilled that this trend has made a comeback, I must say I'm glad that I did not hold onto those floral leggings because (a) obviously they would no longer fit anymore and (b) they were incredibly tacky.
However, not every trend that has resurfaced from my younger years is one I used to be particularly fond of back then. Going to church Easter Sunday was something I dreaded as a child because we had to get up early, but most of all I hated the itchy, uncomfortable Easter bonnet my parents insisted on strapping to my head despite my fierce, relentless protesting. Although I do not look back upon those moments fondly, I'm excited that this trend has re-emerged in my life in a tradition known as Foxfield.
