Why am I always late to the party? I’m not talking about literally being late, I’m talking about being late to jump on the bandwagon about certain things. Take for example the statement necklace. Everyone has been wearing them for the past couple years and I finally decided to last January. LOL!!
I think I wait so long to see if something is a fad or if it’s actually going to stick around. Plus let’s face it, I’m cheap and I don’t want to waste my money on things I may wear only once or twice. I’m more into “investment pieces”. That’s not to say that I spend a lot of money on each piece, I don’t! I’m talking about investing money, time, and my personal style into everything I buy and wear.
So what things have I recently decided to jump on the bandwagon about recently? Let’s see…
…first there were the Cowboy Boots. I know that I’m from the south but that doesn’t mean I wear cowboy/girl stuff. I have only owned one other pair of cowboy boots in my entire life and that was when I was in 6th grade and showing pigs at the county fair for my local FFA. Don’t even ask. HA!
I went to a friend’s wedding a few months ago and it was very shabby chic/country/outdoors so I decided to wear a cute sundress, my jean jacket, and some cowboy boots!! So I went down to my local boot store and bought a pair! You better bet I didn’t go to Target and grab a pair, I went authentic. Like I said earlier, I go for investment pieces. But I did buy them on sale if that counts!!
Cute, right?? Plus they are super comfy!! Who would have thought?!
Another bandwagon I have recent;y jumped on is the piko top. I swore I would never wear them because I just knew they would make me look huge. I know what looks good on my and I have to have stuff with a defined waist or it just hangs off my boobs and looks like a tent. So imagine mu surprise when I was shopping with Rebekah at Dazzle Daze and she talked me into buying one from Pretty Peacock Boutique. I was still skeptical after I bought it so I went to the bathroom, stripped down, tried it one, and fell in love. I immediately went back and bought another one and ordered a few more online. Addicted.
However, I don’t like the original piko, I like the dolman style. Are they even considered pikos?? Oh well, either way I didn’t think I would ever buy those either. I ordered a few from Giddy Up Glamour and one from Kiki la Rue! I think KKLR calls them Maddie tops.
I don’t have a pic in a piko top but I need to get on that ASAP!! Until then, here is a pic from GUG…
Yet another bandwagon I have jumped on is the Taylor Swift fan club. Shake it Off was pretty catchy but I love Blank Space. I’m talking love love LOVE it!!! I haven’t really liked much of her previous work, I’m weird about my music but I really love her recent stuff. It’s more me!! And her style is to DIE for!!! And the video? LOVE!! I mean, who hasn’t felt like this before…
…get it sister, it’s ok!
Well I guess that’s all my bandwagon jumping as of late….what things have you jumped on the bandwagon for?? Or are you like me and “late to the party”??
I am always late to the party when it comes to fashion usually a year behind. My friends had jeggings and the next year I had some and they were like come on Kita that is so last year get a grip….*sigh*
For me.. I jumped late onto the LEGGINGS bandwagon. Oh my gosh.. they make me feel and look skinny! I will never ever ever put on another pair of blue jeans.
I always am behind too. I’m cheap when it comes to a lot of things so I’ll wait till the end of the season when it’s super cheap!
I love Blank Space, too! :) I’ve been late to the party several times. Who cares, right? We’re fashionably late. And I love my authentic cowboy boots. I’ve only worn them twice, but who’s counting? I bet that top looks smashing on you! I’m another one that has to have fitted. I’m an hourglass shape with a tad too much sand stuck in the middle.
I’m always late to the party but hey, at least I arrive fashionably late, LOL!
I am usually late to the party too! I didn’t even know what a piko top was I had to google it. I’ve seen them I just didn’t realize they had a name :)
I am with style things. I guess it is because I am cheap as well. But I never got on board with the bubble necklaces. I mean if I got it as a gift I would wear it but I never bought any.
I didn’t hop on the skinny jeans right away or the leggings but now I can’t get enough!
I am the same way! For the most part, anyway. I’m still trying to finish watching Breaking Bad…which ended over a year ago. Harry Potter? Pff. Didn’t start reading until the 5th book was out. And Blank Space…loved it when I first heard…had NO IDEA it was Taylor until like 2 days ago. >.<
I’m funny about things too so I am late to the party especially when it comes to certain foods and beauty products but, that’s because I’m allergic to everything! I need to check ingredients etc. I also like to see others try things first and then make a decision as to if I will jump on the band wagon. I’m usually a trend or two behind. Lol!
I am late to the ankle booties fashion trend.. I still don’t own a pair.
