Capelets
This fall is all about your inner-Grandma. Fashion mags will be bugging you to raid the attic in search of chunky brooches and moth-eaten, "vintage" finds. Not to be outdone, Street commands you to buy another random accessory: Capelets. The sassiest shoulder-warmer to come about yet will have you rockin' the hottest King Richard-in-drag-look. All the chambermaids will plot your demise and your suitors will find you totally swoon-worthy. The crocheted version can add a certain I-don't-know-what to your fave latex corset while the fur version lets everyone know you don't have a checking account.
Initials
For the serious mallrat, the initial craze was not one to be taken lightly. You had to be sure any tank top in your possession had a glitter "C" adorning your right nipple, or it was simply unacceptable. And heaven forbid you be seen in public without your neon tote with a giant "C" emblazoned on the side, not to mention the equally tacky matching wallet. The madness also spread to the jewelry with a "C" riding the collarbone of every heifer with $7.50 to her name. Ladies, no one cares what your initials are. You are not special, and no amount of plastic accessories will ever change that. Let's stop the madness and bid this now vile trend adieu.
