To all of my non-conformers, here is a list of accessories that you will have to avoid. Best of luck to all and may the odds be ever in your favor. 

I am someone who absolutely loves a good accessory just as much as the next girl does. However, my confidence is shattered whenever I decide to reapply my Aquaphor Lip Repair when I see the girl beside me whip out her tube of cocoa-butter-blueberry-passionfruit lip combo from Summer Fridays. Here are more accessories that are crossing the fine line of trend to epidemic: 

Accessories:

  1. Ribbon bows
  2. Micro-realism tattoos on their outer/inner arm. I have fallen victim to this…twice I fear (see exhibit A and B below)
My first ever tattoo! My grandmother’s locket.
My second ever tattoo! I just love stars.
  1. Owala bottles
  2. 90’s headphones (the over-the-ear ones)
  3. Micro-bangs
  4. Headphones with stickers
  5. Sonny angels that sit on top of phones/laptops 
  6. Having the entire Apple ecosystem (Apple Watch, iPad with Apple Pencil, AirPods Max, MacBook Pro)

Winter accessories:

  1. Chunky scarves
  2. Extreme layering. I respect it, but not to the point where you are drowning in your clothing.

Shoes:

  1. Wales Bonner x Adidas. I wish that I was not guilty of contributing to this serial trend. These shoes are madly expensive, for why?

  1. Ultra-Mini Uggs. Bonus points if they are platform.

School book-bags:

  1. Longchamp bags. How do your books not flop around loosely in those totes?
  2. 2000s messenger bags 
  3. Last but not least, using a Goyard as your school bag
