Forecast says, there's a brainstorm coming in

Why I hate trendy people Reason #5: They don't believe in weather.
I am aware that I am an incredibly sensitive weather wuss. If it is 50 degrees outside, I'm bundled in a scarf and 5 shirts. That being said, there is no denying weather exists... unless you're trendy. If you're trendy, you think you dictate the weather. It doesn't matter if it's below 30, you're in tights and a dress regardless.
But where it really gets me, are the shoes. Obviously they're not in style, but it is ridiculous that the same trendy people who 3 years ago were wearing their juicy sweatsuits and UGG(ly) boots every day from November to March have now adopted other trends. While I personally hate the juicy sweatsuits and LOATHED the ugg boots, I understood it. It was cold out, it made sense to wear pants, a sweatshirt and huge, furry boots that resembled a small woodland creature. Now the trendy people have adopted a new uniform. Leggings, leather boots, jacket, but at least they're wearing a scarf. The look that has also been a hit this fall is the jean cutoffs over tights. Explain that one. There is actually no point. Tights bring you minimal to no added warmth, and style-wise, JUST PICK ONE!
Finally, I have to give a compliment. I know this breaks with the long standing 5 day tradition of bashing people that I've created, but let's take a moment to praise those ridiculous hats that are in style this season. Ear flaps? Fantastic. Let's all give snaps to whoever brought those back. I don't think anyone could have foreseen the rise in popularity of the hats that look like they're made of the throw up of a cat who's been naughty unraveling yarns of all colors. And especially some big ups to whoever brought back those plaid hunting caps. Brightly colored hunting attire hasn't been so popular since Dick Cheney left office. I think even Dick Cheney would be surprised that Dick Cheney's clothes would ever be considered cool...
