WTF?! Wednesdays: Choker Necklaces

Another day, another weekly series. If you've been around for a while, this is nothing new. If you're new to RJV, allow me to explain. WTF?! Wednesdays are literally me ranting about a trend or anything else that makes me go WTF?! Pretty self explanatory. For this WTF this Wednesday I present to you...

CHOKER NECKLACES.



Nope, you aren't seeing things. That is a tattoo choker necklaces that everyone from Kate Moss to the Spice Girls to your next door neighbor was rocking in the 90's. This image isn't from the 90's though. It's from freaking Topshop's website TODAY as in August 20, 2014. Seriously, here is the link: http://bit.ly/VEgFeo. Even better, it's freaking $12! Remember when these things used to come out of machines at Chuck E. Cheese where you only paid like 50 cents to play? WTF?! Someone please tell me why these are back and why they are expensive and WHY, WHY, WHY? I don't get it. I hate it. I don't want one. I don't want to see them on anyone. DUMB. There is nothing attractive about a thin piece of plastic around your neck that will leave an ugly imprint which you will see if it moves the slightest on your neck or you take it off because it's freaking annoying. OMG enough! I'm all for normcore and bring back some of this 90's stuff, BUT NO, NO, NO. Whoever brought these back, YOU CAN GO SHAVE YOUR BACK NOW.

WTF?! Wednesday - Fashion

Fashion is one of my many passions. Rhyming, yet true. Maybe I have a future in rapping? Anyway, back to the topic at hand. I read the glossies and the blogs. I know what's in and what's out, but that doesn't mean I agree. There are some trends out there that this girl will never understand how someone could actually wear and I've decided rant about them to you all. I could go on about this forever, so I've decided to present these absolutely stupid and ridiculous trends to you in installments.

Every Wednesday I will present to you, WTF?! Wednesdays. I will rant about a fashion, beauty, entertainment, etc. trend that makes this girl go WTF?!

So, without further ado, I give you the beginning of a beautiful weekly series...

1. This whole not putting your arms in your coat sleeves thing is beyond DUMB. It's all you see on the streets of New York City during fashion week and it is ridiculous. You don't look sophisticated or classy or anything besides STUPID. It is freaking 20 degrees outside - put your damn arms in your coat sleeves! The sleeves are there for a reason, duh.

2. Those freaking plastic bubble necklaces. Just because J. Crew sells it for $150 (which is so insane I'm not even going to try to figure out why such an outrageous price tag is attached to a hunk of plastic) doesn't mean that it's cool or attractive or whatever. Seriously, I hate these things. They're everywhere. Like okay, I get it's a statement piece that's on the simpler side and for those that don't want to take the plunge into awesome, sparkly statement pieces like this guy - it serves a purpose. Unless you're playing dress up or Pretty Pretty Princess (if you don't get this reference, BYE. JK, but seriously...), plastic jewelry is just not acceptable. If you're nervous to try a statement necklace or are a poor college student like this girl, there's some great affordable options out there like this edgy bib from H&M.
