I particularly<br /> like:</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>“<i>Thanks to the immediacy created by digital media, consumers are driven<br /> to purchase what they perceive as must-haves more than ever</i>”</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I so agree with this. I have<br /> seen this happen way too many times, and consciously made an effort to NOT buy<br /> something only because its trending and considered HOT especially if it looks<br /> horrid on me and simply doesn’t sync with my sense of style. </p> <p>My recent peev is lug sole<br /> shoes where the sole is white and the shoe itself is coloured. What’s with<br /> that? I’m sure some people love these, for example my sister, who wears flats<br /> and heels and metallics and bright colours…but to me they just look odd. Kind<br /> of like Sneakers married Block heels! </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>To give an example – I truly<br /> hate the shoe in #1….even though the shoe in #2 doesn’t look odd to me at all.<br /> I hope white lugged heel on pretty shoes is one such ‘It’ trend that will “<i>burn bright<br /> and then burn hot and fast, and then kind of fade to a simmer</i>”!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-article-on-how-it-items-go-in-and-out#post-1515601 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 06:50:18 +0000 Style Jeni 1515601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the article. That pink jacket incomparable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-article-on-how-it-items-go-in-and-out#post-1267418 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 18:59:06 +0000 jennifer 1267418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I figure if it is an expression of MY style , MY color palette then likely I'll wear the item to the ground . Sometimes experimenting with a cheaper iteration of the look first and then upgrading works well too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-article-on-how-it-items-go-in-and-out#post-1267398 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 18:28:38 +0000 Marlene 1267398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great article. For me, it's&nbsp;very hard to buy into an It trend until I see how it all plays out. &nbsp;When I do buy a trend, its usually after some time has passed so I don't look like a trend victim and after it has filtered down to my regular stores. &nbsp;And when I do make the decision to buy a trend, I will get it in a neutral color to further increase the shelf life. &nbsp;I also ask myself..is this a trend that I would buy anyway (do I like IT or just because it is trendy)? Is it something that will work with my current wardrobe? &nbsp;Do I have to buy all sorts of other things to make it work? &nbsp;If any of the answers are no, maybe or hmmmm perhaps then I pass. &nbsp;I still need to get dressed every day and I don't want anything staring at me from the closet that makes my life more complicated. &nbsp;And I'm tired of dealing with getting rid of stuff that I have grown tired of. &nbsp;I get tired of trends especially in this day of internet-viewing over saturation. &nbsp;Those little "envelope skorts" are a good example of my trend-hate. &nbsp;I don't ever want to see one of those again. &nbsp;But flowy tops over slim bottoms are right up my alley. &nbsp;As are birk-style sandals. &nbsp;I can see myself wearing these trends for quite a while. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-article-on-how-it-items-go-in-and-out#post-1267382 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 18:05:52 +0000 rachylou 1267382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. I have a thought lurking in the back of my mind about *It* items and girls and so forth, but I can't quite catch it. There's Jean Shrimpton and then there's Christie Brinkley, for example. To be honest, but not too cruel I hope, I think Jean is legendary but not Christie. There's *it* and then there's *it.* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-article-on-how-it-items-go-in-and-out#post-1267129 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 11:03:23 +0000 Quietgirl 1267129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That was an excellent article. It convinced me NOT to buy the Birkenstocks as a fashion&nbsp;item even though I have been wearing them for years. (They are my everyday cooking shoes&nbsp;for wearing on hardwood floors!) I don't see them as fiting my style and isn't what YLF is all about?? Thanks. It is a great site.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-article-on-how-it-items-go-in-and-out#post-1267095 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 08:57:40 +0000 T 1267095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was an amazing read. Thanks for sharing! There are some trends that don't seem to appeal to me, and I have in the past given in coz everyone else seemed to be rocking it. Esp with the net, you may feel outdated if you are not "with IT"...&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-article-on-how-it-items-go-in-and-out#post-1266058 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 01:26:01 +0000 lyn* 1266058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Count me out for the pink jackets </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-article-on-how-it-items-go-in-and-out#post-1266057 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 01:24:12 +0000 Echo 1266057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just recently found my Holy Grail Birks for this season, and although they are an "It" item, I've been wearing Birkenstocks for 20-some years. I'm not going to stop when they are no longer on trend, but I will congratulate myself of having purchased styles that I never saw before and that I will likely never see again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-article-on-how-it-items-go-in-and-out#post-1265972 Sat, 31 May 2014 23:52:08 +0000 annagybe 1265972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Um, wow! And yeah totally me and the Isabel Marant wedge&nbsp;sneakers.</p> <p>And yes I had hard and long time looking for the Kenzo tiger head sweatshirt. &nbsp;I'm glad I eventually got it in grey on grey. It definitely will last longer in my closet.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-article-on-how-it-items-go-in-and-out#post-1265969 Sat, 31 May 2014 23:44:14 +0000 Suz 1265969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting -- thank you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-article-on-how-it-items-go-in-and-out#post-1265947 Sat, 31 May 2014 23:07:30 +0000 Caro in Oz 1265947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very interesting. I tend to buy neutrals in expensive items&nbsp;too - they have a far longer shelf life imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-article-on-how-it-items-go-in-and-out#post-1265923 Sat, 31 May 2014 22:07:34 +0000 Carla 1265923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Ummilla. I've spent the weekend trying on Birks and Birks wannabes and wondering how long the look will be trending. I did pull the trigger, but needed a comfort sandal to replace my worn out Merrell's anyway. I like the idea of a trendy item becoming a classic. I think the Rockstud has become iconic that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-article-on-how-it-items-go-in-and-out#post-1265912 Sat, 31 May 2014 21:49:44 +0000 deb 1265912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting article. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-article-on-how-it-items-go-in-and-out#post-1265905 Sat, 31 May 2014 21:37:42 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1265905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&lt;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://fashionista.com/2014/05/it-item-lifespan#awesm=~oFStduLrv7b8ms">http://fashionista.com/2014/05.....duLrv7b8ms</a>&gt; </p>
