How with it are you with what is trendy?

Growing up, my parents never bought me trendy clothes. We got our clothes from modest stores, and to shop at the mall was a rare treat. So, we never really got the chance to be trendy. As I started to grow up and get a job of my own, I'd buy more clothes that might be considered trendy, but honestly I never could really afford to keep up with it. I'd like to be able to wear nice, trendy clothes, but just can't. On one hand, I think it's ridiculous how much money people spend just to look like every one else, but I'm also noticing how expensive it can be to even be "unique" and wear things that are "trendy" but not necessarily common. I think when I'm older and more independent on myself, I will try to show my style, but right now it's just not really an option.

probably not at all. most of the time things that are fashionable are a bit ugly. I don't need fashion. I have style.

i was never trendy when i was growing up nor am i now. i choose to be different (because i am more artsy) so that is what i am. as for stuff that is cool with the teens these days, i have 2 girls so i know whats going on.

I have never considered myself to be trendy. if i am doing something that is in fashion, it is probably just coincidence that this has happened. i just like to do or buy what pleases or interests me. if it is the same thing that interests someone else, that is all right with me too.

Just like you I love dressing up during my younger days. I do love to keep up with whats "in" at the moment.As I mature I do dress up for my pleasure. I do adapt some new ideas but make it my own version. It is also helpful to dress appropriately too. Office wear does not allow for dressing up because there is the presence of the office uniform. I do follow the color coordinates. I do love mixing colors from the primary and secondary color wheel. I do dress for comfort too. One cannot wear a sweater when its so hot outside that would make one look sick.

Way way way back in my younger days my mother couldn't really afford much, we used to have hand me downs and when i got somehing new it was always once it had been out for years. Years later when i started to own my own money i was able to buy a load of nice things, my apperance quickly changed and i was well how you would say moving with the times. Now however although i buy a lot i only do this to save money in the long run, i stock up when sales are on, i am not bothered if my clothes were last season, aslong as they are new and in great condition and look good and keep me warm then i am very happy. My money now goes on my children as they are my priority, they are now the trendy ones as they get my money spent on them rather than me, they look good and i am happy with that, i lokk ok in my stuff even though most of it is last season but still i am happy.

Well, Twitter is the current rage. I never had an interest in using text messages, so I am two steps behind. Pretty soon I guess people will stop speaking with other altogether. We will all just tweet. Why anybody would care what I had for lunch is beyond me.

I keep up with these things pretty well, meaning I know what the latest trends are. But I don't always like the latest trends, and if I don't, I don't go for it. I think some trends can be fun, so they serve a good purpose, but there are plenty of bad trends as well. So it is important to be selective with these things I think!

well, it is not so bad to be trendy. i think it just depends on the person's priorities and likes. especially during adolescence when they try to fit in, im sure we all went through that phase. but as time goes by, our views and priorities differ. maybe it is truly who they are. but as for me, i just try to think about the trend and if suits me then okay, but if it doesn't still ok. :)
