The name says it all. The babydoll/bubble dress can die a quiet death at any point. (Frankly, I thought it already had, but it seems to have risen again, like Jason in Friday 13. Perhaps a stake, like the ones they use to kill the vampires with, would be in order.) Uggs. The name says it all.

Following close is ballet flats. And thank goodness mules are out -- hated them too. Baby doll tops and dresses; basically anything that looks like a muu-muu. Easter outfits because wearing all pastel colors is gross, any time of the year. The most hateful is capri pants — they look horrible on everyone (especially baggy ones).

The only "trend" that I will say fills me with rage is the Ugg boot. I often find them being worn by stupid people in stupid places (like in 90 degree weather or in a monsoon-like rain). Also, Nancy, the 25,26,27 method of sizing jeans is not new at all. In fact, that should be the ONLY way pants should be sized, because it is based on your waist measurement (I have a 26" inch waist, therefore I wear a size 26 pant). I really hate the vague 0,2,4,6,8 sizing system because it's not standardized and it leads to inconsistent sizing (makes for some very frustrating shopping). It also leaves the sizing system open to vanity sizing abuse, which is why a size 8 from 40 years ago is now a size 0 (maybe even 00) today. So I guess you could also say vanity sizing fills me with rage :( I must disagree with some of the other commenters–skinny jeans, ballet flats, capris, miniskirts are not going out of style anytime soon (in particular, men seem to really like minis and skinny jeans on women a lot).

Peg leg jeans. And WHAT #%$&@* came up with this new way of sizing jeans? 25,26,27 ad nauseum. What happened to plain old 2,4,6,8 who do we appreciate? And why are the zippers only 2 inches long? Why do I have to look at 15 year olds with muffin tops, not to mention the dolls my age with same? Mini skirts, please. Send them away. And ballet flats, please make them go away. Now. Crocs. Uggs.

If you're trying to keep warm in the winter-- you're obviously going about it the wrong way what with wearing a mini skirt with boots! Ugg boots, mini skirts and sweaters in the winter.

Also these same boys wear boxers under thier swimming trunks so they can "sag" those too.-Ayyyyy.
