In the 2010s I’ve noticed a lot of trends.

First up, the everything old is new again. From Magnum P.I. and McGuyver gettings facelifts to Target’s attempt at acid wash jeans and hi-tops it seems like the 80s have come home to roost. There are some things I’m still hoping make the big come back – come on scrunchies. But I’m okay with the past staying in the past.
Second, the bigger, badder everything. Starbucks has this going with their Witch’s Brew and Unicorn drinks. Then there’s the Chicken as taco shells, and the McDonald’s breakfast all day, every day. Being able to buy Egg McMuffins any time of day makes me an extremely happy.
Now, I bring into the downswing of things. When innovation starts getting a little crazy. Crazy as in, upside down Christmas Trees. It started with the Dress Form Christmas Trees and now it’s moved on. Seems a regular Christmas tree isn’t the thing. Reminds me when Aluminum Christmas Trees were all the craze… wait, that link shows you can still buy them.
Truthfully, trends will always come and go. Some are more appealing than others and some never seem to disappear (Pokemon still going strong). What are some trends you love? Ones you despise? One’s you regret trying?
Next month, plan on the greatest hits of National Novel Writing Month (NaNo) paired with pictures from either my Thanksgiving dinner or Black Friday shopping (we’ll see what I pull off).
