...Where The Hood and High Fashion Meet?

Ok... there have been some fashion trends that over time have gotten over done or what you can say "hood". Now, I am not coming down on anyone... however there have been some classic styles that have been tarnished. Lets go down the list...

1) Fur. Now, fur has been officially tarnished by people. One very cold nights, one of the coldest nights of the winter... feeling fabulous I decided to throw on a fur to keep warm (in which I did). I walk in the door of Vita Lux's 'The Wonder Years', and the first thing that I hear walking up the stairs is, "Does she have on a fur?", with a slight chuckle. For many of years, fur once was worn by Kings, Queens, Movie Stars, etc. Fur was known to be luxury, not "Hood". Now, like I said there is nothing wrong with being hood at all. Now, this subject came about a few weeks ago when I was talking with a friend and we discussed that night and he again began to laugh, when I asked why, he said that he remembered people with matching colored furs and we began to discuss a breif timeline of fur and what we each thought when we saw it... He saw ghetto fabulous (Don Qwan) and I saw pure fabulous (Chanel)... No matter what we both saw where one another were coming from. Fur either way is fabulous... when used in moderation, not in bright colors, or in matching sets...

2) Chanel. There have been so many knock offs of the "Classic" Chanel bags. SMH. If your bag has tape on the strap we CLEARLY know that it is fake ma. Along with the dollar store rhinestone earrings. I was also talking with a friend and he was telling me how he will never date a girl who wears Chanel... real or not... I asked why and he replied, "I saw a bitch in a porn with some Chanel earrings on." I couldnt help but to laugh. Enough said.

3) Gucci. Gucci Bandana..... Gucci Belt..... Gucci purse..... Gucci Socks.... Gucci Shoes.... Gucci Cell Phone Case.... Gucci Jeans?????????? Do they even make those????

4) Faux Diamonds. Just has been over done so much. TOO MUCH. It was very classic for a woman have costume jewelry with a NICE piece real jewelry, big or small. No need for a rhinestone ring, bracelt, heavy duty necklace, ring, and heavy ass earrings. One piece is enough, let your face shine, not your fake jewelry. Oh no babes, you have a rhinestone missing out your five tier necklaceearringringbracelet thing.
